Longtime Donald Trump ally, childhood friend from New York Military Academy, and prominent Florida attorney Peter Ticktin sat down with The Gateway Pundit to deliver a stark warning about what Americans can expect the moment radical Democrats seize control of the House and Senate on January 3, 2027.
Ticktin, who just scored a major courtroom victory last week when a Florida federal judge tossed former Dominion executive Eric Coomer’s defamation lawsuit against Patrick Byrne, outlined three scenarios for the just-concluded 2026 midterms and laid out what he says is the Democrats’ real plan if they take both chambers by a meaningful margin.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, U.S. District Judge Tom Barber granted summary judgment for Byrne after ruling that Coomer failed to prove actual malice by clear and convincing evidence, the standard required under Colorado law even for a non-public figure when the statements concern a matter of public concern.
Patrick Byrne publicly thanked Ticktin and co-counsel Stefanie Lambert for the win. Coomer still has a separate, long-delayed defamation case pending in Colorado against The Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft, President Trump, and others.
Ticktin told The Gateway Pundit there are three realistic outcomes from the midterms:
Only the third scenario, Ticktin said, gives Democrats the numbers they need. “They need that in order to remove the president and the vice president when they impeach them. And this is what their plan is.”
According to Ticktin, the timeline is already set. Roughly 62–63 days after the election, the new Congress is sworn in. “First thing they do in the House is elect their speaker. And then the next thing they get down to business on is impeaching both Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. And they don’t need any real reason. They just need the votes. They just need a majority. … They can impeach them for pushing Humpty Dumpty off the wall.”
In the Senate, removal requires 67 votes. Ticktin believes Democrats will not need to flip every vulnerable Republican. He pointed to RINOs, compromised members, and possible leverage involving past trips to Beijing, Ukraine, or other pressure points. “We know they have people that are RINOs and hate Donald Trump, and they’re hiding it. But we know that they can probably get an additional 6 or 7 or 8 votes if they need them.”
Ticktin said the articles of impeachment are already being previewed. One line of attack involves the death of Renee Goode—an accusation Ticktin dismissed as “ridiculous” and “insane.” A more serious (in their telling) charge centers on alleged “war crimes” related to Iran.
“They’re going to blame him for Iran,” Ticktin said. “This is what’s so dangerous.” He warned that after removal, Democrats would stage a televised trial featuring images of children killed in Iran in an effort to turn the world against Trump—echoing the Watergate spectacle. “Everybody’s going to watch it. … And then he’s going to be tried for these crimes after he’s removed from office.”
It’s like a Denial of Service attack constantly. All other websites load immediately...........
These vengeful Democrats want to go after any/all Trump supporters or Trump voters - I think the DSA want us dead.
Trump must pre-emptively pardon everyone in Dec. - his family, Vance, advisors, all ICE agents and ICE employees, anyone remotely connected to Trump’s circle and maybe all Trump voters.
Cowardly RINOs would never return the favor
This was and will be done because the commie trash clowns who call themselves Democrats are too stupid to understand that impeach is the same as indict, or accuse.
I accuse all Democrats of being stupid. There, case settled.
Trump could resign which would make JD POTUS and he could appoint Rubio or even Hegseth as VP. That won’t happen but it would be a hoot!........
NASDAX falling like a rock, down 4% this morning and dropping fast.
“Trump could resign which would make JD POTUS and he could appoint Rubio or even Hegseth as VP.”
From a game theory point of view that would be the optimal strategy for sure.
Of course we emotional humans usually do not operate that way.
Lol.
Republican senators could vote to remove Trump, especially if he has crossed them somehow. I don’t see any scenario that Vance would be removed. The VP has little constitutional power as VP other than presiding over the Senate and breaking tie votes.
Its become so boring nobody will likely even bother to watch it. 🙄
Exactly on point! 👍
Let the CLOWNSHOW begin. This is what the retards voted for.
I honestly think that’s a bridge too far. Let’s not forget that even if the voters showed their fickle anger on Tuesday, the fickleness tends to swing both ways. Any Senator voting to impeach will have to answer to Republican voters as well as democrat ones.
Why would Republican senators vote this way when, two short years from now, Trump will be on his way out?
They could very well make that a point of order.
I hope the democrats waste their energy on revenge. The fickle voters generally consider their vote to be the final word. Republicans lost because the voters were angry at them, not bloodthirsty mobs wanting their political enemies put up against the wall and shot.
We also have a more rigorous need for vengeance as Freepers, but that’s not shared by most people.
The voters want the democrats to go and do some work for the people. Bet you they won’t.
For us, the bigger loses are cultural, but the economy, as Carille said, is what it’s always about. If the dems waste their time on a get even tour, the economy will worsen.
Sounds like a fund raising campaign on this lawyers part. Guess he is ready to retire Tahiti.
Yes, but that new VP would have to be confirmed by majority vote in the House and Senate. If they can get the votes to remove, they can easily block that appointment.
Impeaching an eighty + year old lame duck President will make the Democrats look like fools.
They will probably do it anyway.
Lol.
It’s just more red meat for their sheeple and to sway independents to their side in 2028 by showing them how “corrupt” the Trump Administration is, and a Democrat must be the next president to save the country.

You mean “To Haiti”
What BS charge will they come up with? Russia Russia Russia again?
