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

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.

So sick of every TV a**hole and their a**hole opinions.

There really is no "news" anymore - just a gaggle of northeastern metropoloids sitting around giving us their a**hole opinions about everything.

Sensational headlines, but dysfunctional:

“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.”

1) The bold/underline is buried deep into the statement, making the headline goofy and dysfunctional.

2) The underlined is also quite true. I think by the end of this session, it might be over - for the Dems. This whole thing is stupid theatrics.

If they remove Trump. We’re justified in going to DC in large numbers and doing what we have to do. They’re so fascinated with Ukraine, maybe they get the Kiev treatment

Ken Starr was one of Jeff Epstein’s mouthpieces wasn’t he?

Don't bother posting precise words or exact text - we tried that with the transcript.

People can't read anymore - just go right-the-fk-on as if documentation means nothing.

You really shouldn’t respect him for what he did at Baylor.

What is worrying me is the military.

Apparently they are prepared to protect Vindman rather than court marshal him and yesterday I read that one of the SEALS who was pardoned by Trump is now facing some sort of separate military justice.

The Swamp is in full battle mode with all hands on deck. It’s going to be a bumpy road ahead. We all knew that so today shouldn’t be a shock to any of us? Sondland is flat out lying and The Swamp is running with it and using Starr as their “GOP” mouthpiece to put out this new narrative. Yeah, I understand everyone’s anger, but folks it’s their side that is desperate!

Why don’t you just shut up and go away already. Trump isn’t going to resign or quit on the American people . Your time has come and gone and you are no longer relevant.

Amazing that he and others would think POTUS would resign. Trump is not a wimp and would never resign.

Trump should admit he demanded an investigation. He SHOULD HAVE demanded an investigation of corruption before they get a dime of taxpayer money! That’s how you drain swamps, not by bobbing and weaving and being vague

I’m most disappointed that Trump DIDNT impose a quid pro quo and they got out tax money without an investigation of corruption. Trumps bite needs to start being as strong as his bark. Otherwise we’ll never drain the seamp

I don’t worry about this crap simply because I know that Trump WILL force a removal vote in the Senate, and the Senators know FULL WELL that if they vote to take down Trump, they go down with him, ALL OF THEM, including those who even vote to keep Trump.

As usual the screaming heads in the Fake news missed the 4 fatal words to hype this lie

“In his personal view” makes all of this Sonderland hype meaningless noise.

That he had an opinion is irrelevant

Perception is reality. And the media creates the perception.
