The Impeachment Needle May Soon Move (Peggy Noonan)
Peggy Noonan Wall Street Journal column ^ | Oct 19 2019 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 10/18/2019 10:24:49 AM PDT by rintintin

Things are more fluid than they seem. That’s my impression of Washington right now. There’s something quiet going on, a mood shift.

Impeachment of course will happen. The House will support whatever charges are ultimately introduced because most Democrats think the president is not fully sane and at least somewhat criminal. Also they’re Democrats and he’s a Republican. The charges will involve some level of foreign-policy malfeasance.

The ultimate outcome depends on the Senate. It takes 67 votes to convict. Republicans control the Senate 53-47, and it is unlikely 20 of them will agree to remove a president of their own party. An acquittal is likely but not fated, because we live in the age of the unexpected

Read her whole column. It reminds us how the Syria pullout has enraged the establishment

As I said elsewhere, Trump has meddled with the primal forces of nature, and the powers that be want him out

DO NOT ASSUME that Trump won’t be ousted by the Senate

The MSM knows once it gets to the Senate ANYTHING can happen. That’s why they desperately want an actual impeachment.

Though that is true, it’s not true in the way it appears to be presented.

We life in the age of the Trumps of the world winning even though it was expected that they would lose.

The war is not D vs R. It is worldwide. And it is Globalists vs Nationalists. And the nationalists are kicking butt.

Two chances Trump is convicted of any impeachment charge:

Chance #1: Fat
Chance #2: Slim

I’ll go out on a limb here, no impeachment.

agree...Noonan is a well known never Trumper and the rats/anti-Trumpers are using her for propaganda purposes...

President Trump is far from safe in the Senate. The GOP’s disdain and hatred for its voters is the most powerful force in American politics. Not even losing twice to a disaster like Obama put a dent in it. It’s sickening.

No one is talking about the investigative reports and indictments that will drop soon. RATs will be busy exposing the corruption, treason, and sedition of other RATs in order to get lesser prison terms. The DemocRATs won’t be in the drivers seat on anything much less their political antics on impeachment.

“DO NOT ASSUME that Trump won’t be ousted by the Senate”

Agreed. I said it on another thread. President Trump has threatened the existence of perpetual war. That upsets people in Washington on both sides of the aisle.

Both sides are ok with having commoners die for their profiteering.

I really hope that there will be arrests and trials of the criminals in Congress who are using impeachment as a means of regime change. It is nothing more than a coup. I don’t mean they should be arrested necessarily for opposing the President but for the crimes they are covering up by making all the drama.

I would never assume the Senate would not remove Trump.

There are lots of GOP Senators that don’t want us to stop the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
It’s been their life’s work to fundamentally transform the USA into North Mexico against the will of the citizens.
Getting rid of Trump is essential.

Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Lee, Romney, Capito, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

Pick 20.

Don’t post Peggy Noonan columns here. She didn’t even support John McCain against Obama.

” The DemocRATs won’t be in the drivers seat on anything much less their political antics on impeachment.”

It’s going to be a busy breaking news day, with explosive, earth shattering bombshells?

Also known as a nothingburger. I expect we’ll get what we’ve always gotten. A strongly worded report that has no teeth.

I’ll assume that. As I’ve told you before: McConnell and Graham are on the ballot in 2020. Trump goes down so do they.

“Don’t post Peggy Noonan columns here. She didn’t even support John McCain against Obama.”

In hindsight, one was as bad as the other.
