ust imagine if this was said about a Democratic President, maybe Barack Obama or Bill Clinton: Talking to Congressman James Clyburn on Thursday, CNN New Day co-host John Berman had NO response when the Democrat said of a Senate impeachment trial for Donald Trump: “Let's give him a fair trial and hang him.”
Here’s the context. Berman and Clyburn were discussing a possible delay in delivering the articles of impeachment. The Democrat called for the need to avoid a “kangaroo court” run by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:
JOHN BERMAN: Why the delay, Congressman?
CLYBURN: Well, the delay is made necessary because the majority leader of the Senate has made it very clear that he's not going to be impartial. He's not going to be fair. He will collude, if you please, with the White House, at least the White House's attorneys, to decide how he will go forward. Why would the speaker of the House step into that without trying to determine exactly what the majority leader plans to do?
So I applaud her for this. In fact, I was one of the ones arguing that this ought to be the case. And until we can get some assurances from the Majority Leader that he is going to allow for a fair and impartial trial to take place, we would be crazy to walk in there knowing he set up a kangaroo court.
BERMAN: How long are you willing to wait?
CLYBURN: As long as it takes. Even if he doesn't come around to committing to a fair trial, keep those articles here. So keep it as long as it takes. If you know and he's told you what he's going to do, let's give him a fair trial and hang him. It's the reverse of that.
NO objection from Berman. No asking for clarification over this shocking remark (or botched attempt at an analogy). Instead, the CNN host just moved on to obsessing about details of the trial:
BERMAN: As long as it takes? Are you willing to hold the articles indefinitely if Mitch McConnell doesn't concede the points that you're asking him to? Are you suggesting it's possible you will never transmit the articles of impeachment?
CLYBURN: If it were me, yes, that's what I'm saying. I have no idea what the speaker will do. But if you have a preordained outcome that's negative to your actions, why walk into it? I'd much rather not take that chance.
Again, imagine if this were said about President Obama.
yeah
starting to make BDS look like homeostasis
IIRC there has been several statements over the past couple of years made by the media and the Hollywood crowd about assassinating the president. Some blatant, some insinuated. I really am concerned about President Trump’s safety as well as his family’s safety. These people are satan’s spawn and I don’t put anything past them.
All who voted for impeachment, their staffs and all who egged them on are seditious conspirators. They were in fact voting to overthrow the government.
They must be tried and then executed. They must not remain alive or the process will go so so long as they breathe
It is not just politics. It is an attempt to bring an end to the Republic. They have forfeited their right to live
If they wanted to endlessly wait why not take the ignored subpoenas to court, wait for the inevitable appeal all the way to the SCOTUS and actually present something that might have at least some small shred of evidence? She can’t wait long the rabid members of her own caucus will eat her alive!
the House of Reps is going to hold back the articles in the House because the U.S. Senate is not going railroad the POTUS like the House did
Bingo!
The left wanted to figuratively and literally murder Trump when they knew he was on his way to winning the election.
The Communist News Network (CNN) a disciple of Khrushchev we will bury you speech should loose their transmitting license.
What ever happened to a good Tar and Feathering?
Without understanding, this ‘CNN Host’ has just written his own Epitaph.
Morons like him will be gone in a future restored America, OR if we descend into the leftist hell his fellow travelers would turn America into, HE would be one of the first (to quote little Greta) to be “Put Up Against the Wall”.
Or the rack
In a fair trial, the charges would be dismissed as soon as the judge read them.

Most definitely.
