Democrats scale back language as Trump and GOP press ahead with attacks on Senate impeachment trial
Washington Compost ^ | Jan 23, 2020 | Seung Min Kim, Elise Viebeck, Colby Itkowitz

Posted on 01/23/2020 5:23:01 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

House Democrats charged with prosecuting the impeachment case against President Trump on Wednesday scaled back their fiery language following a rare scolding from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., as they began laying out their case for Trump’s removal from office for pressuring Ukraine to help him win reelection.

But as Democrats softened their tone if not their message, Trump and his fellow Republicans dialed up their partisan rhetoric, with GOP senators largely ignoring Roberts’s admonition and leveling scathing attacks against the trial’s prosecutors....

The Republican barrage was led by Trump himself, who in Davos, Switzerland, called the top House managers “sleazebags” while denouncing his impeachment as a “hoax” and “disgrace” to his presidency.

LOL. so Trump who is not there fails to adhere to Roberts admonishment. Obviously he deserves to be impeached.

After three years of watching this Socialist flea circus, I’ve come to the conclusion that President Trump is not the primary target of their “impeachment” exercise. The ‘RATS are out to destroy the office of the President of the United States.

During the Tuesday hour where Brett normally has his Special Report, the House Manager was a black woman who was most certainly chosen to have diversity. She could not read the script. That is, she could not read out loud.

Having a House Manager that could not read is contempt of the Senate

Last night, Brett had his regular report, shifting to the Rat Impeachment show only in brief moments.

CORRECT, unless of course that the DIMocRATS could get one of the socialist LUNATICS into the WH.

One House Manager was a black woman, chosen for "diversity." She could not read Nanzi's prepared script out loud.
Having a House Manager that could not read shows a complete and utter contempt of the Senate....and of taxpayers.

They're playing Hillary's game: they play to their donor base, to give them a thrill to get donations.

They fail to realize the rest of us are paying attention.

Charging Trump with “abuse of power”...This coming from a party that spent $40 million of taxpayer money for a hoax investigation into a Russian collusion hoax they invented.

Re your claim that the Compost has a “Commie Chinese” reporter, that happens to be a Korean name.

Our press needs to be on trial after this...

Our press colludes with the DNC.
Our press does quid pro quo with the DNC.
Our press lies and obfuscates in favor of the DNC.
Our press obstructs in favor of the DNC.
Our press fails to afford our POTUS the presumption of innocence.
Our press abuses its 1A right.

Our press carefully uses “alleged” in describing a black thug’s murder charges, but not with our POTUS impeachment charges.

After we retake the House, I really hope to see The House Un-American Activities Committee resurrected.

I saw that hack.....it was almost like someone was feeding her the words, into an earpiece, as she was TRYING to follow along, on the page in front of her.

Really embarrassing...for her and the dim Dems.

There is no diminishment. The post senses disaster and is trying to give cover

“She could not read the script.”

There’s got to be more to that. Why would a person with difficultly reading, or stage fright, be given that job?

Well, maybe she was the best black woman they had and she still couldn’t read.

Stage fright for a congressman is incompetence
