As Rush Limbaugh discussed today, the "Whistleblower" complaint was probably written by Democrat House Intel staff lawyers.

The Whistleblower him or herself maybe somebody who "auditioned" for the job based on their ability to convincingly lie.

McConnell saying that the Senate will take it up right away, if the House passes it, onmly encourages the Dems.

Could encourage them or give them cold feet - a trial would create both great opportunity but great risk for both sides. McConnell stated the fact that the Senate rules require it and it would take 67 votes to change those rules...obviously would not occur. However, the length of the trial is not mandated - a motion to dismiss could be made immediately and passed. If it gets that far, the President would need to have an acquittal on the record rather than a talking point about an "obstructionist GOP" and that "he has never been acquitted of the impeachment charges that are still pending before the Senate."

This shouldn't be happening to begin with because it is bogus. There are consequences from Committee Chairmanships passing from someone like Nunes to Schiff. We are seeing that now.

Excellent point, FRiend.

The military is the elephant in the room that no one is talking about.

Trump is the commander-in-chief. And I for one believe the story that he was approached to run for the presidency by a group of patriotic generals and admirals.

Good point. Maybe Trump can call him "Harvey", like the Rabbit that only Jimmy Stewart can see.

If I were McConnell, I'd promise to take it up right away and schedule two witnesses every day for ten months.

I would prefer two witnesses a month, not two a day. Schedule them all the way to 2024. 😂

They can’t clean out their ranks? We are supposed to have faith in an agency that doesn’t know what their own agents are doing? Get those armatures out of the White House and replace them with people who actually know how to do their job!

“The comments came as his allies struggled to coalesce around a clear strategy to respond to a fast-moving and quickly mounting threat to his presidency.”

Threat? What threat? Shirley they aren’t implying impeachment is a threat. In this case, impeachment based on a bunch of hearsay is a joke, not a threat.

And now we have Grassley saying second hand info is acceptable. If they impeach Trump the last votes we should cast should be a nation wide effort by every Trump supporter to oust every Republican senator. I doubt Trump supporters will ever cast a vote for them after this travesty they are allowing. After Trump, there will be no other outsider to shake things up. It will only get worse. The corruption and theft of the taxpayers will continue. We need to take a cue from Hong Kong and fight to KEEP our freedom or just turn out the lights.

Partner, President Trump will not let the Impeachment process go to the Senate since it will die in the People's House.

We agree that we will have an all out "Civil War" with the Rat party and it will not be purdy with the Rats at all and the Rinos.

We saw what the "America Hating Piece of Work Obama" did when he was supposedly our POTUS by giving away the latest technology to the Chicoms which BTW looks exactly like our designs.

Amazing the Chicoms Copying, Cheating and Stealing our High Tech. The American taxpayer is footing the bill for this High Crimes and Misdemeanors of past presidents.
