The entrenched elites of both parties and a large portion of the corrupt upper federal bureaucracy understand the mortal threat President Trump poses to them. This threat has been the driving force behind the continuous efforts to destroy the Trump presidency since (and before) the President’s inauguration.
These forces have no doubt already figured out they can’t beat the President at the ballot box. Impeachment is their last desperate chance to rid themselves of the man who has so effectively exposed their self-enrichment and multiple sell-outs of the American people. And now they think they see their chance -- based on a single telephone call in which America’s president, reasonably and with more than good cause, suspecting criminal wrongdoing, may have sought the assistance of a foreign head of state in getting to the bottom of his amply justified suspicions.
They are counting on the now widely and deeply loathed former Republican, Mitt Romney, to round up enough Republican turncoat Trump haters to reach two thirds of the Senate -- all without regard to the total absence of anything remotely approaching “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
No occupant of the White House before the current one has faced even a small fraction of the unrelenting groundless accusations, calumnies and outright lies endured by President Trump since well before the first day of his presidency. Through it all he has repelled the attacks, while he produced concrete results for the American economy and American conservatism unseen since President Reagan.
The constant, vile, often violent, denunciations of America’s President during the last nearly three years, all by the 2016 losers and their major media mouthpieces, is without any precedent in the nation’s history.

I do believe there is a precedent. As I recall the South hated LIncoln even before the War went hot.
Now that's a fact. If you don't believe it, play the replay of Chuck Todd's vitriol this past Sunday.
RE: I do believe there is a precedent. As I recall the South hated LIncoln even before the War went hot.
He was never impeached. His successor though, is a different story.
f I was Trump I would want a trial! Finally he would be able to cross examine !!!
The senate not having a trial would provide the Dems and deep state cover that it was rigged going into the election because Trump would have been convicted
Lowlife 'elites' unmasked!
Doesn’t matter. They will be able to say we impeached him, vote him out of office.
Precisely! If we are ever to rid ourselves of the Deep State, this needs to happen.
Lincoln had to sneak into DC after his 1st election.
Half of American voters elected a god in 2008, who told his mindless believers that America needs to be fundamentally transformed.
In the absence of any action whatsoever in three years taken in response to their crimes against America, his heathen soldiers keep marching on.
Put that Rino squirrel Mitt Romney under the microscope.
No occupant of the White House before the current one has faced even a small fraction of the unrelenting groundless accusations.
Democrats and their media pups will face a very bad ending.
Chief Justice John Roberts would preside over the Senate trial and my guess is that he would decide what evidence can be presented. We know that this guy is comprised by the Left so I think Trump’s hands would be tied.
Just the threat that all of the “whistle blower’s” sources will have to be revealed in examination by the Republicans will cause him to refuse to testify.
The evil mediawhores to the rats ARE piling on hot and heavy today...it’s meant to PRESSURE senators to turn on president Trump..God help us if this works and they win this fight!! FAUX NEWS is in their pit of lies corner!! Sad I really used to love Fox News and supported them by keeping them on on a regular basis....No longer watchable! Freakin traitors towing the lying evil rats lines of deception! Bastards can’t even do reporting properly and go and check out the evidence for themselves! Journalism is dead prettified from the head down!!
Democrats will simply make a new rule that cross-examination isn’t allowed.
The D.C. Swamp Rats are scurrying and drowning themselves!!!!!!!
You assume the president would be able to cross examine the coup plotters. You must remember this president is not accorded most constitutional protections. We see this over and over. With Roberts presiding over the trial in the senate, I assume nothing. What if Roberts decrees nothing will be considered other than the very narrow “whistleblower complaint”, no Dossier, no Clinton, no Mueller actions, etc. The president has no recourse if Roberts stays true to his DS roots.
Ummm, no. Trump’s defense will be limited by what John Roberts rules is admissible...and we know where that is headed.
Are they still our law enforcement arm of the admin?
