Ken Starr: GOP Senators Might Consider Having to ‘Make a Trip’ to the White House [tr]
Daily Beast ^ | November 20, 2019 | Justin Baragona

Posted on 11/20/2019 7:48:39 AM PST by C19fan

Moments before Wednesday’s impeachment hearings and right after U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland’s opening statement was released, Fox News contributor Ken Starr wondered aloud whether Sondland flipping on President Trump would cause GOP senators to push Trump to resign. “The real issue is the senators are watching,” Starr said. “Are senators going to now say in light of what we hear today, it’s going to be a long day even with the ambassador alone, in light of what we have heard, ‘We need to make a trip down to the White House’? That historic example set during the Nixon presidency. From what I’ve been able to glean I don’t think that’s going to happen. But obviously what happens today could—has the potential to be a game-changer.

Nope.

Because as usual you Democrat Fascist Party propaganda bots missed the 4 fatal words

“In my personal view”. That he assumed or felt something is utterly irrelevant noise.

nd again. SO WHAT? There is NO CRIME here.

Ukraine did not launch investigation and got the aid. so even if the clown assumed there Quid Pro Quo was being demanded it was never done. There is NO such crime as “quid pro quo”.

To start with the Ukrainians have all ready shot this lie dead. There is no truth to these accusation at the President. It a wholly make up attempt to distract and deflect from real criminal wrong doing by the Democrats in the Ukraine during Obama’s regime

Ukraine Foreign Minister: U.S. Aid, Investigations Were ‘Never’ linked

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/14/ukraine-foreign-minister-aid-investigations-were-never-linked/

READ THE TRANSCRIPT you lying scumbags in the Fake News

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf

Here is the problem for the Democrat Fascists and their toadies in the Fake New Media.

We will let them assume EVERYTHING is true and accurate in the “transcripts. We allow this nonsense of hearsay, feeling and assumptions to be allowed as “evidence”.

There is still no crime here.

If “Quid Pro Quo” or “bibery” or what ever they are lyinging call it today is a “Crime”, Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP.

Watch the video of him bragging about it.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/09/27/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html

The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did it would still need to be investigated to verify. In either case Trump is not guilty of anything.

It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions. .

Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House

So sorry Democrat Fascist bots, you lose, again.

I’m finding that perceived allies, like Starr, continue to disappoint! Seems the powers that be, whether Deep State or Faux Snooze management, always get to them. JMHO. Please correct me if I’m incorrect.

On that you can bet your last dollar. But Ken Starr is among the typical NO GUTS, cowardly Republicans who get completely spooked every time George Stephanopoulos says, “boo!”.

I don’t think Starr is a republican, and I don’t think he is a dem.

I think he is one of those rare birds who have NO CORE PRINCIPLES.

He never has to defend what he BELIEVES, because he believes in NOTHING.
I formed my opinion by watching him on TV, especially on Hannity.

The man is a bore and a chameleon.

I was disappointed that Starr would draw conclusions even before he heard a cross examination. That is very unprofessional for any attorney, but I guess standard procedure for a TV attorney.

If they remove Trump, I will write his name in on the ballot. He should run third party. He will win!

They all missed THIS statement

Sondland: “I’ve never heard from President Trump that the aid was conditioned on the investigations.” He reached this conclusion on his own.

So, in short, yet another witness who can’t testify to the Democrats’ accusations.

People across America don’t understand that just about every sitting senator has a Hunter Biden like problem in one form or another. Trump threatens that. It’s how the Deep State controls our legislature and judicial branches. Blackmail.

Stupidity. The question is whether that wondering out loud is prompted also by malice. I will admit that I have no idea of the answer. (Ken Star did not handle the Clinton situation as would have I.)

Anyone who does not understand the stakes should keep his or her mouth shut. The purpose of the Democrat Left is in no way consistent with an American future.

American Dream Or Human Nightmare?

"Since when is Sondland’s personal opinion relevant?"

It isn't, but that's what all the lefties jumping up and down today think. Why anyone with half-a-brain would believe that Donald Trump would have demanded a quid-pro-quo deal with the Ukraine, so they'd investigate the actual quid-pro-quo demand made by Biden. Donald Trump is not a stupid man. Only an idiot would have committed the same action as Biden did, in order to get the Ukraine to investigate an already admitted, on camera quid pro quo. The whole thing makes no sense.

excuse me, but the dems are doing anything they so desire.. rules, constitution, they make up their own and run on it... they do this and the gop plays fair... which guarantees losing..
use that pen and stop the charade.. educate myself? it takes doing what has to be done before the dems destroy us all.
not talking about votes.. this is past a vote.. they are taking over this government! you would let them.. thats why they do what they do..

Ken Starr is right now on Fox backing down because Starr is saying the ambassador Sondland made a shocking omission in his previous testimony about Trump saying "no quid pro quo"

. Starr felt Sondland should have said in Sondland's opening statement Trump said no quid pro quo I don't want anything from the Ukraine. - Tom

Game over. That he assumed something is utterly irrelevant

Well, OK. You might want to read the Constitution and see what it says about the separation of powers and the authority of Congress. Then answer one simple question:

What the hell is anyone in the GOP supposed to do about it right now?

I agree! But Starr was misquoted because if you hear that clip he’s saying what Schiff would be saying! Still Ken Starr was SO inaccurate and you always wait for cross examination! GAWD I HATE THESE PEOPLE!

Listen to Mark Levin on his radio show or podcast tonight if you want the truth. He’s livid!

The Constitution went out the window the moment obama occupied the White House.
