Analysis - Impeachment inquiry: Trump seemed vulnerable. It didn't last
CBC ^ | 11/21/2019 | Alexander Panetta

Posted on 11/21/2019 11:44:34 AM PST by Phlap

Donald Trump's impeachment defences seemed damaged by a series of bombshell testimonials that not even his most implacable protectors could easily explain away.

That lasted about 90 minutes.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Republican Party illustrated just how swiftly, and unreservedly, it intends to close ranks around the president and prevent his ouster from office.

That what happens when you have fact and truth on your side.

Problem is the Fake News simply pops a woody and rush out to publish based on the morning’s Democrat Fascist party press release aka the “opening statements” Then the lie is totally dismantled by the truth that comes out in the actual testimony

Their case is nonexistent and is really not much more than kabuki theater.

So, it was the “Republicans that closed ranks and prevent his ouster...”?

Or was it that the testimony was so easily destroyed that even sleezy outfits like (insert ALL networks and cable outlets here) had to admit that this guy lied, was caught on it, and also just “happened” to have had his wife’s business boycotted by libtards unless he toed the line. (ya know, witness intimidation)?

We should be thankful that Schiff is so completely inept and without measurable abilities of any kind. After all, he is doing the one thing where these qualities are rewarded: Democrat congresscritter.

The steady parade of preening, arrogant, self-important swamp pr***s just reinforced in people’s minds that we were right to send Trump there to clean it out in the first place.

Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.

And Trump is getting stronger with each passing day.

That’s their technique..rush and flood their narrative through their wind chamber. That their lies are caught and debunked later doesn’t matter to them at all.

Exactly right. These hearings have CONFIRMED everything Trump said about the Swamp. The parade of arrogant, power craving functionaries that are aligned against the president has only served to put an indelible face on the bureaucratic army of fanatical resisters.

An earlier post on Free Republic reported that the impeachment fiasco has been run by the Coup Klutz Clan. LOL

Problem for Fake News is technology has past their ability to play gatekeeper by but they refuse to accept that. They still think they can lie with impunity.

People simply no longer take them serious. That is why we are seeing polling results like this

Poll: Majority Believe Media Working With Democrats to Try to Impeach Trump

https://www.theepochtimes.com/poll-majority-believe-media-working-with-democrats-to-try-to-impeach-trump_3147009.html

Of the majority who think reporters are actively working to assist in the impeachment efforts, 76 percent of Republicans, 48 percent of Independents, and 36 percent of Democrats agreed with the statement.

**************

I get your point but I understand why the Dems thought they might be able to get there. Republicans have a long history of being manipulated by the Dems so, while a guilty verdict in the senate was never likely, it wasn’t out of the realm of possiblity either.

Dems were hoping that something they threw up against the wall might stick and persuade senate Repbublicans to go along with them.

Its not hard to imagine that, with competent leadership, the Dems might have been able to prod a good number of GOP senators to join them. afterall, we have some real losers and never Trumpers in the senate.) We should all be thankful that Schiff was cast in the role as chairman of the Select Committee on Impeachment (will that becomes a standing committee?) and has been roundly exposed for the hack and liar that he is. In that sense the inept Schiff did us a favor.

This is what happens when news is written beforehand.

There were going to be bombshells. Therefore, there had to be bombshells. And, as if by magic, there were bombshells.

Very much like Adam Schiff’s closing statement in which he recaps things that were never said and summarized evidence that never materialized.

It’s all over for Trump, folks. /s
