Schiff Dems saying it was NOT a trial at all now because of this..

To Democrats, and other Leftists, nothing counts if it goes against what they want. They are the ultimate sore losers.

RE:” Not only did the House abuse its power by impeaching Trump w/o due process, and on sham legal theory of “wrong,” the senate added to the error by not dismissing the articles for that reason.
Well, now we know the senate will tie itself up for two weeks on ANY articles of impeachment. Bring in garbage, and make the same argument that it is up to the senate to conduct a trial. The public will fall for it.

The only way that Dems would declare this as a ‘FAIL TRIAL’ is if the Senate convicted Trump to remove him from office.

Any other outcome will lead to what DEms are saying now, Trump was a illegitimate POTUS and this is an illegitimate trial which means there was NO trial.

All this long drama and pain bought SEnate RINOs like Mitt NOTHING.

FUMR

I believe President Trump will find a way to make this SOTU speech even— maybe even because of— the circumstances brilliant and one for the ages. The fact that he is sure to be acquitted and exonerated the very next day will make it even more heroic and epic. You just know he has a plan and will rise to the occasion as all great statesmen do.

PotUS could give a State of the Republic speech in the Spring (the season of promise) at the largest venue in the country.

The defense team should respond with quotes from the article from Politico that when Clinton was impeached Biden said they didn’t need to hear from witnesses.

Wish there was a way to get that article to defense team.

Let’s just hope the DEMS and Deep State don’t dig up something major to change the vote. Not even sure that can be done, once you vote, to vote to decide to hear the evidence and witnesses if something comes forward after voting.

Every time I got caught, I knew the cop(s) so didn't even get the ride.

Okay, I knew what you meant ;-)

After the THIRD attempt in the courtroom, finally,
the judge dismissed with prejudice the charges against me.

Throwing a little read meat out there in the form of released files and evidence would be grand!

Since there can be absolutely zero business for the Senate until it is totally over, the speech MUST be after the trial has ended.

A day after the SOTU . . . a$$hole stupid. I agree, delay the SOTU until Thursday . . . I want to see SanFranNan sit and squirm over Trump’s left shoulder.

...Trump should get to do the SOTU without this over his head...

I think he is going to have even more proud deplorables watching that if it had ended today, and stronger support throughout the election.

Working for a landslide of epic proportion.

And I have sent him money. Up until lately I have always said "when I have more money than he does, I will send him some". But this is different. The entire country needs to stand up and show the RATs the door.

There is no doubt as to the outcome, so the vote is just a formality.
