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.”
Longtime Trump Ally Peter Ticktin Warns Democrats’ First Move on January 3, 2027 Will Be Impeaching Trump and Vance – “They Just Need the Votes… They Can Impeach Them for Pushing Humpty Dumpty Off the Wall” ¨
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
If this were a better world, given that desperate Democrats have stolen several elections so that they can continue their ongoing abuse of the 16th Amendment (direct taxes), Democrats are probably long overdue to be busted under the wrongly ignored Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A), ideally losing representation in the House. If that were to happen then we wouldn't be hearing about Trump impeachments any more and Congress would be gridlocked as the Constitution's drafters had intended for the peacetime, constitutionally very limited power (hint) federal government.
In fact, note the zero tolerance "hair triggers" in that section that the Supremes, Pence and the J6 Congress wrongly ignored (imo) when lawmakers voted to accept Biden's electoral votes in 2020 despite allegations of vote-counting problems, concerns about that election still not resolved imo.
is denied to any
citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged,
Section 2 of 14A: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. [Apportionment of Representatives]
Let's also throw in Section 3 of 14A.
14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall [all emphases added] be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
So what is your threshold of pain for corrupt, Constitution-ignoring political parties patriots?
Would “President Jeffries” be enough to wake Republicans the hell up?
It can work that way, because congress has to approve the VP pick.
This ain’t Nixon’s congress.
This should backfire, although I guess you never know for sure until it all plays out.
Republicans paid a political price for impeaching Clinton for what the media was able to portray as just “personal choices” between two people. heh.
Repeatedly going full-petty rather than governing is going to cost the democrats.
I was wondering about that sowness on the site myself. I even had one comment that was never posted as best I can tell.
I think that such a turn of events would be properly designated as a coup.
Not that I would put it past them.
Trump was the only one who pushed Humpty-Dumpty off the wall.
The word in the ether is that Vance was doing everything he could to try and convince him that pushing Humpty-Dumpty off the wall would be a cataclysmicly stupid idea.
The percentages of individuals in this nation who routinely attend church every Sunday have plummeted, causing these closures. Pastors are leaving the profession at an alarming rate. Thankfully, our church has a great pastor who has been pastor at our church for 35 years, replacing his father, who passed, after his 30 years with the church. Two solid pastors for our church. Our pastor's brother has been pastor of his church for 40 years now. One day in the future, we will have to face the retirement of our pastor. Hopefully, a decade or more from now!! But I firmly believe GOD is judging America for our unbelief and sin.
They will try to impeach him for surviving their idiotic pee-gate charge.
Seriously though ithink they will go after him again for the protest at the Capitol building. They were passed that he wasn’t Imprisoned on their first attempt at falsely charging him with insurrection.
Sadly there seems to be no political consequences for liberals MAKING CRAP UP in order to indict pres. Trump or other Republicans, so I expect they will keep right on MAKING CRAP UP about him to try to impeach him.
Usually God punished nations that were totally corrupt and vile, not partially, like the US. And God gave those nations hundreds of years of warnings to stop their evil, and only when they didn’t obey, He stepped in and punished them.
Our side fought like banshees to stop baby murders and child muti,iations, and many other vile democratic ideologies, and we eventually did win in some cases, so I think that matters to God.
Liberals were and are still very very pissed thatclinton was impeached, that al gore didn’t win, and that Hillary wasn’t elected. Their fury knows no bounds, and now they think they have a mandate by the people to u nleash unholy hell on the nation because so many truly vile, hate-filled anti-semite, anti-american invaders were elected to gov. Their hatred is truly satanic in nature. They make no bones about their intentions to attack pres Trump and anyone associated with him. Biden even had banks punish anyone who was Maga in some cases, and had his people harassing Maga folks. I suspect It will be even worse as we go forward if a liberal wins the presidency with both houses in tow, because of how full of rage and fury the left, and how lawless they are now.

That’s why I don’t expect Trump to be impeached. Some of the Democrats in the House will be all for it, but most of them recognize that failed impeachments (of Trump twice and of Clinton) had the effect of benefiting the accused President.
The probable compromise within Democratic ranks will be to lay off Trump but to impeach one or more lower-ranking officials. Hegseth is the one most frequently mentioned.
Can’t he just veto it? I keep hearing that.
I cannot believe how everyone BELIEVES these “election” results, here. Did Biden get 81 million votes? 2020 and now 2026 are beating Americans about the head and neck with cheated elections, and lunatics are speculating about repeating the strategy.
The crooked Congress gave us no SAVE act. Feral non-American “judges” have intervened to protect cheating. States like California have enacted one-party rule.
Some one must save the Republic. My vote is for the guy whose head got shot.
See: Poland
See: Brazil
I doubt they’ll impeach. They’ll just hamstring him and keep a steady stream of investigations and headlines. He’s a lame duck already. In 24 months he’ll be gone anyway.
