House Judiciary waste of time

Adam Schiff opened his remarks to the ridiculous Jim Jordan-led hearing on Alvin Bragg's recently won criminal lawsuit against Trump:
“I want to begin by quoting the jury in the Manhattan hush money payment trial.”

“Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,” he said. “This was what the jury pronounced, unanimously on every count.”

[...]

Republicans in Congress were quick to lambast the trial and conviction as a fundamentally unfair trial that was politically motivated.

Thursday’s hearing, spearheaded by the GOP-led committee, brought that argument to the forefront, with the committee writing in a statement: “With his unprecedented, politicized indictment of President Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Bragg has opened the door for politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials by state and local prosecutors.”

  The Hill
Aalvin Bragg brought a legal case against a fraud and criminal. He did his job.
“My Republican colleagues don’t really contest Donald Trump’s guilt; this is the fascinating thing,” Schiff, who is running for the California Senate seat left open by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D), said. “Their argument is essentially he should have never been prosecuted, or they falsely claim it was a political prosecution, or they falsely claim it should have been a misdemeanor, not a felony.”
I wouldn't use the word "fascinating" to describe what the Republicans are doing.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
