‘You’re never gonna get what you want’: Tapper doubts Schiff’s strategy to withhold impeachment from Senate (IMPEACHMENT HELD HOSTAGE - DAY 19)
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/05/20 | Madison Dibble

**SNIP**

“McConnell’s not going to do what you guys want him to do,” Tapper told Schiff.

Schiff replied, “Well, McConnell, I think is, one success that this has already had is flushing out McConnell. Showing that he’s working in cahoots with the president, and he has made himself an active participant in the president’s cover-up. So, the American people needed to see that, and now they do.”

Tapper interjected, “So, you’re never gonna get what you want, though. Isn’t that what you’re saying?”

Schiff said that “wasn’t necessarily the case” and claimed that some Republican senators might reconsider their position and vote with Democrats after feeling pressure from Pelosi’s demands for more witnesses.

“Both Democrats and Republicans are now having to go onto the record and say, ‘Do we want witnesses? Do we want to see the documents? Do we want the American people to hear the evidence? Do we want a real trial? Or do we want a cover-up?’” Schiff explained.

The House Intelligence Committee chairman didn’t say how long Pelosi will hang onto the process but added, “I don’t think it’s going to be indefinite.”

Schiffty came up short attempting to remove the President of the United States. Now he's worried about 'strategy'? Too late for all that.

I'll enjoy watching video of ADumb Schitt being curbstomped and beaten to the point of Schitting his pants and crying like a little girl in front of the country.

Before he goes up on the tree....

Even the Weak Sisters and Pierre Delecto are on board with the Turtle’s strategy

There will be no do over in the Senate. If Schiff couldn’t be bothered to wait to secure the witnesses and documents, its not the GOP’s obligation to make it good for him.

Democrats are stuck with their turd impeachment. Whether or not they bring it over to the Senate doesn’t matter.

Senate GOP is already inclined to dismiss the charges without trial. Then where is the Democrats’ leverage?

Schiff and Nancy can both go fly a kite.

Do we need any more evidence that the impeachment sham is a purely political and partisan maneuver, which has nothing to do with wrongdoing by the president? The only wrongdoing is by Democrats once again abusing their office.

I wonder if the RATs are waiting for the election, hoping to take the senate.
There seems to be a discussion that impeachment survives the end of the current congress.
Most “scholars” seem to think it does.

This “interview” should be saved and used as a textbook example of “gaslighting”. We all have met people in life that have done this to us before, but in the past, citizens would not accept this conduct from their elected representatives, whom were quickly thrown from office for acting this way.

But typically, whomever wins POTUS makes gains in Congress. So they’d only take the Senate if Trump loses anyway.

Normally, that would be crazy. Except the Demcorats are determined to go insane.

It’s not that my sensibilities are offended by the Rats attempting to pull the bullshit they do. It’s their getting away with it all the time that really pisses me off.

Obviously with a name like “McConnell” he IS Russian. Schiff, on the other hand, seems like he’s been sniffing paint for way too long.

IF there are going to be any witnesses, Barney Google Schaffer is Witness #1, along with all the secret testimony from the bunker.

IMO, all this stunt is is Pelosi trying to dirty up the Senate Republicans ahead of the election to increase Dem chances if retaking the majority.

Nanzi cunningly planned all of this.....
<><> over two years of researching her options,
<><> conferring with the Left,
<><> writing the numerous scripts
<><> handing out their roles to the various Trump haters
<><> rehearsing the actors 24/7.
<><> going to the media to deny deny deny impeachment as afoot.
<><> Every word was focus-grouped for maximum impact.

She is a cunning scam artist. To suggest this slimeball with a gavel doesnt know what she’s doing is the height of folly.

========================

Some say McConnell should simply dismiss due to lack of actual charges......
Forget dismissal for lack of evidence. Senate actions must humiliate DemocRATs.

Nothing short of a Democrat annihilation will do.

Americans must be made witness to:
<><> Democrats violent hatred for Trump
<><> Democrats raging hatred for an entire class of Americans
<><> impeachment as revenge (not justice)
<><> vengeful Democrats punishing Trump voters
<><> Democrats banking their future on the chaos of impeachment
<><> the outrageous Third World MO used to structure impeachment.

Every Senate action should show Americans and the world The True Impact of the Democrats’ Impeachment Con Game.
