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.”
Maybe so. But even after Watergate, by 1980, Ronald Reagan was winning north of 40 states. I think people also forget how bleak things were for the party in 2006/2008. Lick your wounds fast and get back to work rebuilding. The Democrats are sure to provide much opportunity to showcase what clowns they are when they are in office. Use that.
I wonder when they’re going to come to understand that impeachment by Democrats is a badge of honor.
Here is my trick.
First get a Desktop Computer. Attempt to post something and then open another Tab on you browser with FreeRepublic and click Pings to see if your post is there. If it us not there repost it. If it is there don't post it a second time, a third or even a seventh time.
As I said, they only need two-thirds of those voting, so enough Republicans stayed away they could get to that number. But I don’t think that many Republicans want to hand the Democrats that kind of win (driving the second Republican President out of office, when nothing like that happened to Democrat Presidents who were worse), and they may not like the idea of J. D. Vance becoming President and being the inevitable nominee in 2028.
