What if the Democrats impeach President Trump, but then don’t take the next step? – The next step envisioned by the founders in writing the U.S. Constitution would be that the House, acting in good faith, would then quickly transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate. There, a trial would be held in short order to determine whether or not the impeached president should be removed.
But of course, as we have seen repeatedly in recent years, today’s Democrats are not people of good faith, a future potentiality that American patriots like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson – who disagreed vehemently on political matters but always acted in the best interests of their country – simply could not imagine. Because they simply could not contemplate the possibility of a House of Representatives being populated in the majority by actively seditious individuals who care nothing about the nation’s well-being, they did not feel the need to explicitly lay out rigid times frames for every step of this sad process to take place.
Thus we now have the spectacle of Bug-eyes Schiff and former Michigan Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm laying out a scenario on the Sunday morning talk shows in which the seditious Democrats would go ahead and vote on articles of impeachment before congress recesses for the Christmas holidays, but then hold them up indefinitely while the House Intelligence Committee under Schiff’s control continues its clown show witch hunt.
The Democrat theory of the day being that Republicans can’t begin a Senate trial until the articles have been formally transmitted to them by the House. Here is what Schiff had to say to CNN’s fake host Jake Tapper:
“We have continued to learn more information every day. And I think that is going to continue,” he said on CNN. “So, we may have to file addendums to that report. We may have other depositions and hearings to do.”
Later on the same program, after Schiff laid out his strategy for ongoing investigations as far as the eye can see, Granholm detailed the other side of this latest un-American tactic:
“It is important to consider as Democrats to slow our roll a little bit. I was glad to hear that Adam Schiff said there is other information and this is not the end of things. And people are saying before you toss it over to the Senate, why don’t you take your vote on what you’ve heard and just hold it. Seal it, like a sealed indictment until you’ve gathered what you think is necessary to convince the jury that has already made up its mind. I don’t think we’re there yet.”
Yeah, sure, just seal it like an indictment, and keep the nation in limbo for as long as ol’ Bug-eyes sees fit.
This of course is what is known in the DC Swamp as a “trial balloon.” Schiff and Granholm obviously coordinated their remarks in advance to roll this concept out and see what kind of reaction it creates in the public and among their corrupt media toadies like Fake Jake Tapper. The media reaction is certain: They will just all nod their collective hive brain and parrot the Democrat talking points like the good little organ grinder monkeys they truly are.
The public reaction, though, is less certain. Democrats are already seeing their polling numbers drop rapidly, especially among independent voters who are sick of this nonsense. Will a clear, undisguised stalling tactic like this create even more disdain from the voters?
The reality about all of this is that Schiff and Granholm both know that the Democrats have miserably failed to present any evidence that the President has committed anything remotely resembling an impeachable offense, and they are desperate to justify keeping their pathetic witch hunt alive. Being Soviet-style Marxists at heart, they are true believers in the Stalin/Beria philosophy of “show me the man, and I will find you the crime,” and they simply cannot accept that they haven’t been able to execute on that where President Trump is concerned.
This is, in other words, the rhetoric of people who know they have failed terribly. But if you don’t believe they are depraved, demented and despicable enough to try to follow through on it, you need to play closer attention.
That is all.
No worries.
They don’t have 218 votes for that “sealed indictment”. lol
Good.
What makes you think you are so much smarter that the rest of us?
they’re desperate, Jim
Crazy... but, what else should we expect from bat shit crazy Democrats.
Ingenious... one would expect the public to punish them for such crap. But, everyone is SO POLARIZED, and entrenched... I doubt it would move the needle much.
Well, if they publicly vote in the House on Impeachment, but don’t ‘transmit’ the results of that vote to the Senate.
...then maybe the Senate publicly votes on removal (and of course votes it down), and tells the House they’re done, and better luck maybe trying it again in 2021, after Trump is re-elected (and ignoring everything else the House sends to them at that point).
I saw who was going to testify today and have to ask, who was the guy in the dress testifying today?
McConnell should state that if articles aren’t drawn up by 12/1 the Senate will not start a trial until they can fit it into their schedule. This will tell Democrat’s that since this is a quick process it has to be done now. Then say they will have pro over the Christmas holiday to complete the trial.
Sealed, until RBG dies.
yes. It’s beginning to appear that they don’t want it to go to the Senate, and that they may not even take the vote.
(Rush said at some point that Nancy will never let go of control by giving it to the Senate.)
Thanks for so clearly explaining what that witch Granholm meant when she said that this morning. I saw it in real time but it was so diabolical in nature I wasn’t exactly sure what the heck she was referring to. Your posts are outstanding and truly appreciated.
The Dems will happily occupy exactly as much of the political battlefield as the GOP Senate gives them unopposed. The Dems are pivoting and probing in a different direction because the GOP Senate is seemingly planning to engage the coupists on Ukraine.
I thought the next step was to send their report to the House Judiciary Committee. That’s where the Articles of Impeachment would be drawn up and THEN a House vote. The House Intelligence Committee is like a Detective sending his arrest report findings to a DA (Judiciary Committee) to press specific charges (Articles) or not. I could have this wrong.
DB is often right on, but this tactic would shout more of “WE STILL GOT NOTHIN’”—a blatant political tactic. Please do it.
Exactly. The House Dems Ukraine hoax is entirely dependent on top cover from the GOP Senate. Should the Senate choose the gather their own facts and engage the executive branch coupists its game over for Team Anti-America in the House.
Pretty nonsensical, DB.
Oh, if you read what they wrote, there is no human inanity or skulduggery that would have surprised them. They had a pretty low view of politicians in Revolutionary America, which is why they rebelled in the first place.
A “sealed” impeachment? This is reminiscent of the days following the ‘16 upset in which the media and the Dems (I repeat myself) were thinking up “clever” ways to overturn the election by manipulating the Electoral College. Sounds fine on paper and in front of a sympathetic audience, try it and see and take the consequences that follow.
