Moments before Wednesdays impeachment hearings and right after U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondlands 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, its 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 Ive been able to glean I dont think thats going to happen. But obviously what happens today couldhas the potential to be a game-changer.

I come very close to seeing Ken Starr as a quisling.
Couldn’t see any problems with the Foster death.
Now he thinks Trump needs to be told to leave.
Ken, go away...
Hey clown I’m far from being a Democrat bot What a stupid statement
Any number of ways the GOP could shut it down. AG Rip Van Barr may want to set his alarm a little before ten AM some day for one thing. Senator Graham might consider actually DOING something instead of just talking about it for once. There are any number of ways the GOP could shut this down but they dont. I suspect a number of them have Hunter problems as well.
The Constitution died the minute Wilson entered the White House. There. Fixed it.
And if you think the U.S. Attorney General has any business getting involved in House proceedings then you really have no idea what you're talking about.
Read up on William Barr's history and the legal philosophy that drives him, and you'll understand why: (1) he's the perfect man for the job he's in right now, (2) he will have no involvement in this House circus, and (3) the Democrats fear him more than any other Trump cabinet member.
At a time like this it's best to educate ourselves and stop thinking this is a WWE match.
“Senator Graham might consider actually DOING something instead of just talking about it for once.”
Last night, Tucker was pretty tough on Miss Lindsey for making bold bloviating promises of investigations, and then doing nothing. When he contacted LG’s office for reason(s), he got the runaround and was basically told “no investigation”, and thbat the isses would be handled in another way.
Graham is blowing sunshine up our butts, and that’s all there is to it. He has too much to hide, it seems.
You are unwittingly, IMHO, making an error which is understandable. You are still reasoning like the old rules apply, which they no longer do. You think the battle is in rooms with wood paneled walls filled with men in suits. The actual battle so far is a PR battle. If Barr were to arrest Comey Impeachment would be a side show. What is on TV screens right now would be Rat corruption and crime not a kangaroo trial which is currently on Prime Time.
If you're going to pursue a case in a criminal court, you bet your ass the "old rules" still apply.
The actual battle so far is a PR battle. If Barr were to arrest Comey Impeachment would be a side show.
1. Trump is WINNING this PR battle.
2. I'd love to see Comey arrested. But that case has to be airtight, and understandable to the public (since this is a "PR battle," right?). The absolute worst thing that could possibly happen would be for Comey to be acquitted before Election Day 2020.
I wouldnt care if a two year drawn out trial acquitted Comey.
Here, IMHO, is the problem in your reasoning. You think Barr would let the chips fall but he wont. Once he starts arresting people you know as well as I there will be a line he will not cross. Comey, Hillary, 0bama himself. There will be a line where he absolutely will not go up the chain. Barrs problem, again, IMHO is that he has not decided as yet just where he will draw that line. Again IMHO the delay is because he is hoping he will be overcome by events and he wont have to make that decision.
