Descripción

The 2019 Impeachment hearings orchestrated by Adam Schiff were political theater—worse Adam Schiff purposely withheld critical evidence he knew would have exonerated Donald Trump. Even more troubling, in an act that can only be described as pure prosecutorial misconduct, Adam Schiff did his best to prevent the truth from surfacing. To understand how Mr. Schiff misled Congress, his own party and the American public one need look no further than what was not presented in 2019—more important, Who was not called upon to testify. In Prosecutorial Misconduct we explore the deception employed by Adam Schiff as he did the unthinkable—prosecute an innocent man. In truth, no crime had been committed. No impeachable offenses had taken place. There was no Abuse of Power or Obstruction of Congress. In a perverse twist, President Trump actually upheld the demands of Congress when he placed the now infamous “hold” on the military aid package allocated by Congress to the Ukraine. Adam Schiff knew all this—and still went forward with his prosecution of the 45th President of United States of America. About the Author About Occam’s Razor Occam’s Razor is predicated on a single guiding principle—relief. By working to develop the context and insights necessary to create an informed consumer base, Occam’s Razor is focused on addressing the frustration and anxiety that has led to so much anger regarding the pressing issues of the day. It must be emphasized: There is no desire on the part of Occam’s Razor to influence the reader with opinion. There is already more than enough such material, mostly unfounded, in the market. Furthermore, it is the feeling of the author that opinion, founded or otherwise, does not lead to lasting relief and therefore has limited value. This has led to a different kind of approach, one where topics are explored in an a-political, non-biased manner using the principles of plausibility attributed to William of Ockham (1287-1347). Occam’s razor: Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions is likely the right one. In other words: In the American Southwest, if one hears hoof beats—think horses, not zebras and certainly not Unicorns. It is worth stating: There is rarely any certitude when dealing with current events or any issue for that matter. In addition, there is no claim of deity-like abilities on the part of Occam’s Razor. The author is well aware he does not possess every possible fact or infinite wisdom. Still, by applying the principles of plausibility to known (public) facts, rather than relying on mere conjecture and opinion, a far more robust picture can be developed. It is this more robust, non-biased, picture that leads to the creation of an informed consumer. Note: Introducing political or emotional bias into any issue/situation does not lead to good judgment; rather they create barriers to good judgment. And, only through giving the consumer the necessary tools to make informed decisions can relief be attained.
