The U.S Senate has started a trial to decide whether President Trump becomes the 1^st U.S President to be removed from office. Trump mocked for months what is officially known as SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility). The House Democrats and Republicans heard from current and former Trump administration officials for weeks last year about what the President needed from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a 25 July phone call. The room on the bottom floor of the Capitol Visitors Center designed to allow administration officials and politicians from both parties. They will discuss highly classified state secrets described by the President as the House conducted its probe as a den of shady shenanigans by Schiff and his House Democratic fellows.

The White House officials and GOP lawmakers backed him up. They described the room built with funds approved by Democratic and Republican members alike as a dungeon and a basement bunker. The Press Secretary of White House, Stephanie Grisham also called Schiff ‘nothing but a basement blogger’. White House counsel Pat Cipollone derived strategy of his client of trying to use the secure room’s basement location to describe it as the perfect space for Democrats to continue trying to kick the New York businessman and former reality television star out of the executive office. Cipollone also admired his boss for ordering the release of his 25 July call with the Ukrainian president.

Cipollone said, “How’s that for transparency”? It is noteworthy that White House’s own document says it is merely a summary of the call and not a verbatim transcript. But, Trump and his fosters continue falsely calling it a transcript. Cipollone also said, “The president was forbidden from attending. The president was not allowed to have a lawyer present. In every other impeachment proceeding, the president has been given minimal due process, nothing here, not even Schiff’s Republican colleagues were allowed into the SCIF”. The Washington Post’s Fact Checker staff concluded Trump released or tweeted at least 16,240 false or misleading statements during the first 3 years in his office.
