Instead of opening a formal impeachment inquiry in Ukrainegate, Democrats should have calmed down, taken a deep breath and counted to 67. That’s the number of votes needed in the Senate to remove a president from office via impeachment.
Getting to that number, which requires at least 20 Republican senators to vote to remove President Trump, should have driven every impeachment calculation by the Democrats.
Yet, that seems to be the least of their focus. Judging by their overheated rhetoric, Democrats appear to have decided, largely based on initial news reports. The reporting alleged Trump threatened to deprive Ukraine, an American ally, of critical aid in its war against Russian-backed separatists unless it investigated the Ukrainian business interests of Hunter Biden. He is the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, who could be Trump’s opponent in the 2020 presidential election.
A sober, careful “just the facts, Ma’am,” investigation is fully warranted — but without the fanfare of a formal impeachment inquiry. The evidence, such as the transcript of the call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky (which does not appear to make U.S. aid a condition of a Hunter Biden investigation), is only just starting to come in.

Translation:
Our fake news didn’t fly and so we are going to look for a new scheme to remove the president.
There are a few Democrats running around that need to be put on suicuide watch. If the Clintons are alive, and this thing blows up, there are going to have to be some more suicides to keep this thing from coming around to them.
Yeah, but that’s what AOC wants.
This is basically democrats attempting to change the words of what happened from Hillary and Biden, to Trump.
Basically trying to blame Trump for the actual things they did.
Has anyone ever given her an IQ test?
And those 20 Republican senators have quite a bit to be wary of if they did. I’m starting to get the feeling that folks are getting tired of “representatives” who do not truly “Represent” them anymore...
Never heard of this guy but interesting take on Impeachment and Pelosi’s “Not so fast” position.
LET THEM GO AHEAD AND IMPEACH TRUMP….
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS THEN……
By: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science)
I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying Libertarian.
I’ve been studying politics and political history for the past 30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House of Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next!
1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of the Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.
2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of Democrats, to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over at that point.
3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President’s attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THEY WANT.. That is different than the special counsel investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazille, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Christopher Steele, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing coverup activities. A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of democrats will start being charged and going to prison. All this, because, remember, the President’s team will now, for the first time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath - and they will turn on each other. That is already starting.
4. Lastly, one more thing will happen, the Senate will not convict the President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are clueless about political processes, the law, and the Constitution. Most Americans believe that being impeached results in removal from office. They don’t understand that phase 2 is a trial in and by the Senate, where he has zero chance of conviction. Remember, the Senate is controlled by Republicans; they will determine what testimony is allowed — and **everything** will be allowed, including: DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in favor of Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover up and destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating information.
They will incriminate each other for lying to the FISA court, for spying and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for colluding with foreign political actors, especially George Soros. After the Senate declines to convict the President, we will have an election, and Trump will win. It will be a backlash against the petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and dishonesty. Even minorities will vote for Trump, because, for the first time, they will see that democrats have spent 2+ years focused on maintaining their own power, and not doing anything at all about black murders in Chicago, homelessness, opioids, and other important issues that are actually killing people. And, we will spend the following four years listening to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was rigged.
So let’s move on to impeachment.

May? Lol
It may also hand the Democrats a swift hanging.
All I can say is that I’d hate to be the Rat front runner at convention time. Mrs Clinton will want another shot at the President. She better hope she drops dead first.
The Dems are nuts... However, the R needs to support Trump in 2020.…
