An Impeachment Trial Would Take Away Trump's Control Of The News Cycle
Bussfeed ^ | 7-24-2019 | Ed Schmeltzer

Posted on 07/24/2019 6:17:43 PM PDT by tcrlaf

If Donald Trump has to be acquitted, much better for it to come at the hands of a group of people as corrupted and partisan as the Senate Republicans.

Robert Mueller remained tight-lipped and cautious during his much-hyped testimony Wednesday morning. But the hearing highlighted two things: First, there is a real opportunity for a televised trial of President Donald Trump's behavior; and second, such a trial, if it harnessed all the theatrics and color that Democrats can muster, could seize control of the news cycle from the man who has dominated it for years.

It has been a tough few weeks for House Democrats committed to their strategy of holding Trump accountable via the justice system rather than the impeachment process.

My goodness, Ed Schmeltzer is incredible delusional.

Does he seriously think that impeaching Trump for the crime of being Trump is going to do anything to decrease support for him, even if the Democrats put on the greatest dog and pony show of their careers? Is he really so blind that he fails to see that the constant bullying of Trump is driving up his support and opening the eyes of people who were previously oblivious?

The left lost the election three years ago. Still being sore losers.

Their intransigence only serves to weaken the Constitutional Republic. But they are very okay with that.

If there is an impeachment, Trump’s defense team will be able to track the money trail of the dossier back to Hillary.

Actually, if the Democrats proceed with an impeachment process after the Mueller testimony today, I think Trump’s hand will be strengthened to really deal with these a**holes.

They still think Trump will play by their rules.
They have learned nothing in two years.

An impeachment trial would certainly involve the “news” reporting on the new Democrat decorations to be found on the DC cherry trees...

…”such a trial, if it harnessed all the theatrics and color that Democrats can muster”.
If they can’t muster any more theatrics and color than they did today, they should just give up.

I salivate when I contemplate on all the dhimmicrats who will pay the ultimate price for this attempted coup. I just hope that I can be a part of it...

>> NOTHING matters to these people but the narrative. NOTHING....

The only way the silver-tongued scumbags made it this far.

The RATs have turned into one giant furball of TDS rage.

So much fun to watch, especially today.

Loved the post Mueller hearing meltdowns by the RAT “leadership”.

Especially Cummings.

I thought he was going to bust a nut.

Nancy Pelosi, even running on 60% remaining grey cells at 80% voltage, knows how this will play out more than Cortez and her cohorts. Trump might be very willing to allow content-free theatrics dominate the news cycle if it proves his point that this is a witch hunt by tantrum throwing two year olds.

What the writer of the piece does not seem to realize is that Dem rep candidates outside of safe districts stand to lose elections playing this game.

TDS will ensure president Trump keeps dominating the news cycle...and the fact that he’s the dominant male in the whole scenario they keep fantasizing over...
