Impeachment has always been an avenue through which the House and the Senate can represent the best interests of the people by holding government officials accountable for high crimes and misdemeanors perpetrated while in office. It’s a protection that allows for the swift removal of criminals from government power. It was never intended to be a weapon to be used by a political party to undermine the efforts of their opposition.
This “impeachment inquiry,” as it’s being called, is exactly that as House Democrats weaponize their majority against the President by using subterfuge, deceit, and a complicit progressive mainstream media apparatus to either “redo” the 2016 election or tilt the 2020 election in their favor. Some Democrats might find this acceptable; in our contentious political atmosphere; a victory based on lies is an acceptable victory to many. But I have to believe the majority of Americans want the truth to prevail and the best interests of the nation to supersede the best interests of either political party.
Pat A. Cipollone, Counsel to the President, issued a letter to House Democrats denouncing the way they’re handling their impeachment inquiry. From the beginning, it has been an exercise in smokescreens, lies, and political maneuvers that are not only unprecedented, but also unconstitutional. They are undertaking this inquiry in a way that subverts due process and prevents anyone associated with the President, including members of the House of Representatives who belong to his party, from participating in a legally mandated way.
Neither the President nor anyone associated with “inquiry” should participate in it, thereby giving it credibility, unless the Democrats start handling this in a constitutional manner.
As Cipollone notes in his letter:
To comply with the Constitution’s demands, appropriate procedures would include-at a minimum-the right to see all evidence, to present evidence, to call witnesses, to have counsel present at all hearings, to cross-examine all witnesses, to make objections relating to the examination of witnesses or the admissibility of testimony and evidence, and to respond to evidence and testimony. Likewise, the Committees must provide for the disclosure of all evidence favorable to the President and all evidence bearing on the credibility of witnesses called to testify in the inquiry. The Committees’ current procedures provide none of these basic constitutional rights.
In addition, the House has not provided the Committees’ Ranking Members with the authority to issue subpoenas. The right of the minority to issue subpoenas-subject to the same rules as the majority-has been the standard, bipartisan practice in all recent resolutions authorizing presidential impeachment inquiries. The House’s failure to provide co-equal subpoena power in this case ensures that any inquiry will be nothing more than a one-sided effort by House Democrats to gather information favorable to their views and to selectively release it as only they determine. The House’s utter disregard for the established procedural safeguards followed in past impeachment inquiries shows that the current proceedings are nothing more than an unconstitutional exercise in political theater.
There’s a very clear reason that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi refuses to allow Congress to vote on the impeachment inquiry, a step necessary to officially launch it. Doing so would open the doors for Republicans to participate in the proceedings. As of now, this is not an actual impeachment inquiry under Article 1, Section 2. It’s being called an impeachment inquiry but it is still following the tenets of Article 1, Section 1, as if this is simply inter-branch oversight. Impeachment under Article 1, Section 2 is a process handled by the entirety of the House, not committees performing oversight.
Why wouldn’t she want to abide by the Constitution? Because doing so would open the doors for Republicans to rebut claims by Democrats. GOP Congressmen would be able to cross-examine witnesses, call witnesses, issue subpoenas, and participate in the inquiry. Instead, this is a one-sided political show designed to keep Republicans and President Trump’s team from engaging in the proceedings at all.
It’s a complete and utter sham, one that is only even possible because Democrats have legacy media in their pockets. If the situation were reversed and Republicans were doing this to Democrats, the powerful media outlets would be crying foul. But they hate the President as much a their puppetmasters do, so they’re pretending like this is all happening in a proper fashion.
This is why promoting the truth by supporting NOQ Report is a necessity for patriots. We are willing to get the facts out there. We just need help with reaching the people. Donations are used to put the truth in front of as many Americans as possible.
It doesn’t matter if you support the President or not. The unconstitutional handling of this pseudo-inquiry is a warning that the real abuse of power is being perpetrated by House Democrats.
This is not an impeachment inquiry. It’s a 2020 campaign soliloquy designed to keep engagement one-sided and subvert due process. It’s the Democrats’ impeachment monologue. The President should not participate in this debacle.

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
