I watched most of the hearing Friday as I had to be at the desk anyway. Even though I am a political junkie I found it incredibly boring. The average American couldn’t care less.
So do we get to read the part about Ms. Stefanik reading schitt’s words back to him without clicking the link to WND?
I don't see how they can "just drop it". They'd be handing the election to Trump if they admit defeat.
Think of the campaign meme: One man against the DNC, the vast majority of the media, operatives from the CIA, FBI, FISA, DOJ, the State Department, and various foreign agencies, with an assist from the sitting POTUS, and they came up empty.
The most thoroughly investigated and vetted man in the history of the world, and he's CLEAN.
Who could run against that, and win?
No, they'll have to keep the circus going until the election, in some fashion or another. More allegations will surface, more whistles will blow, more dirt will be invented. They're stuck with it. I think Pelosi saw this coming, hence her apprehension...
At some point early in our life, most everyone, excluding democrats, develop a sense of when they’re being lied to. The first giveaway is generally the Schiffty eyes. This guy is live caricature of a lying, back stabbing, little homosexual.
Adam needs to get the Schiff kicked out of him.
They will look like complete buffoons if they drop the case now. I can’t see how they can stop this runaway train. They will demoralize their base, and to the middle of the road Americans they will look like dirty cops spending 4 years trying to frame the POTUS. Totally useless investigating instead of legislating.
And this, before we get any information from Horowitz, or Durham, or even Giuliani.
I figure the odds are high they will impeach if only because they have passed the point of no return. They did it for political reasons imo. They saw that they gained the House thanks to the Mueller BS and now they wanted these headlines for the 2020 elections. But they are going nowhere fast regardless of what the media puts in the headlines and chirons.
It is up to the Senate to dismiss the charges quickly and then open investigations of their own into all these shady dealings and shady characters.
Schiff’s look says he’s angry.
Angry because the hearing is on national TV and he can’t just gavel-down Ms Stefanik without the subsequent commentary on TV and radio and on print, about how cowardly he was acting. He had to tolerate the truth from an insolent woman who was making him look bad.
Adam Schitt looked like he was playing the lead role in a hostage tape.
They will drag it out. Just this evening I heard Pelosi on the news go on about how Trump’s crimes are so much worse than Nixon’s, blah blah blah (followed by a brief paraphrasing of the republican response).
They’re pounding Trump/crime into everybody’s heads.
They will eventually impeach, after which they will get unfettered access to the news broadcasts during the trial. The senate will not convict, but the president is being damaged P.R. wise.
Stefanik, Ratcliff, Jordan and Stewart have their game on. They are shredding witnesses and building their brand.

My prediction still remains the same: They will bring it to a vote and it will fail. This has been Nancy's plan all along. The plan is to bring all of this testimony forward - with all the restrictions - and allow their friends in the media to run with it - but never allow Trump an opportunity to counter it with his trial. She knows which dems need to vote no and it will die on the floor of the senate.
They know it is suicide to allow him a trial.
Yeah - supposedly jumping up to the high road after the low road sank. What a despicable bunch of “people.”
I love her!
Reuters rooter that’s all I have to say
To me she is a rising star. We need more like her with that no nonsense approach.
You are correct in that there will be no impeachment. Instead, Schiff will produce a damning and highly partisan report that is referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration. After more TV drama, impeachment will be deferred in favor of letting the American people decide via election if Trump deserves to remain in office. In that manner pure Schiff will be spun into Shineola, or so the Democrats hope.
