Wow.

How in the world did an article like this, actually end up getting published?

I am completely series.

Good job.

It must be bad for that to have happened.

[metmom]

From the article..... Because, no matter how hard liberals try and convince you otherwise, the Trump presidency doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Republicans believe they’ve been living life under two sets of rules. Considering what previous administrations have gotten away with — and what many of the people now clamoring for impeachment helped them get away with — it’s difficult to blame them. Perhaps if Democrats and operatives within government hadn’t spent three years cooking up a fantastical Manchurian Candidate conspiracy to delegitimize Trump this impeachment inquiry might be playing out differently. As it stands now, the entire effort is drenched in partisanship. Which makes it extremely unlikely that many voters will be pried from their previously held positions. Nothing that’s been said during these hearings changes that fact.

How'd this writer slip through the cracks?

Someone who actually gets it?

I would suggest that these journalists are merely preparing the public for the eventual outcome....66 votes don’t exist in the Senate to convict Trump....so the impeachment (after two weeks of a pony-show), will put everything to a vote, with Romney voting with the Democrats, and no impeachment occurring.

All of those Hillary-enthusiasts who figured they’d finally get some ‘closure’....will simply get round II of 9 Nov 2016...another defeat that they were talked into believing. I will suggest over the next ten days...several more news organizations will begin to pull the curtain and admit that impeachment will never occur.

They have been extremely useful for uncovering where the extortion bodies were buried and exposing those who were robbing the Ukraine blind.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

The hearings aren’t useless. None of this is useless if you’re a Democrat. They are running out the clock. Even if DJT gets reelected they will keep distracting him and the country until they can regain power. That has been the strategy from day 1 and it’s working.

The Impeachment Hearings Have Been Useless

No, they've been a fantastic fund raiser and poll booster....for Trump.

Thank you RATs.

“”The Impeachment Hearings Have Been Useless””

Ahh, FAR from useless.

The exercise has shown America just how desperate the Dump-a-Craps are when they can not control events -— especially events they want to keep hidden.

I have noted before that ‘impeachment’ was their suicide vest, and they would pull the string when they had no other hope.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Remember: Three fact witnesses have not yet testified: Bolton, Pompeo and Mulvaney.

I hope we don’t allow this to go to the Senate.

I’ve refused to learn any details of this impeachment theatre. It upsets me too much. But today someone at work was reading an earlier NY Times article, something about a shadow government and Ukraine, and tried to get me to read it. I cut short the conversation (he’s a Democrat).

So, my request, if anyone cares to respond: please give me a very short, very clear, completely true summary of this current hearing against President Trump...something like “Impeachment for Dummies” in 5 quick facts.

And again I stress, the truth only! Not just something encouraging that a conservative like me who totally supports President Trump would wish to hear. I will need a true, factual answer if I discuss it with this guy. He has his NY Times article and listens daily to the TV hearings.

Thanks, if anyone wants to reply.

The time lost by the Gang of Four plus Schiff plus Pelosi has been invested in boasters and bigmouths who themselves are less than worthless, an investment of millions earned by sweat of the brow, poured into these termites to riddle the stability of our society. Permitted by lackluster Republican political placemarkers, not themselves contributing either.

On, Donald! Go, Pence! On, Barr and McConnell!

Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!

[Nifster]

Not completely

We now know for sure exactly how deep the swamp is

There are traitors throughout State as well as higher levels of FBI/CIA/DOJ

[combat_boots]

But Dems held a party to celebrate...

[blackdog]

Oh contraire. They have illustrated that we do not have ethical people running our government who think they are in charge. These are by large unelected arrogant punks with spoiled third grader temperments.

Impeachment Hearings = Hearsay & Gossip

[mewzilla]

Reads like a modified limited hangout to me.

The Deep State would rather cop to partisanship than be hung for sedition.

[Ann Archy]

They have NOT been USELESS....they have ENLIGHTENED us as to HOW AWFUL the DEEP STATE REALLY IS!!!!!

[Missouri gal]

Benefits:
1) (Further) exposed the Deep state. Even I was shocked when Yovanovitch received applause at a DC restaurant after her testimony. They don't even care who knows how corrupt they are. They think they are our rulers.
2) Moved the polls in favor of Trump. Not all the people are entrenched in their opinions.
3) Exposed the Ukraine pipeline for channeling US tax dollars to Democrats/DNC.
4) Exposed the extreme bias of alphabet media. In some cases they don't even care how obvious it is that they are DNC operative liars.
5) Exposed Ukraine interference on behalf of Dems. More will be exposed by Senate Intelligence investigations.

Downsides:
1) Wasting taxpayer money and precious Congressional time that should be spent elsewhere on the new trade deal and other higher priorities.
2) Massive distraction to the President and his staff.

[lurk]

The hearings have been helpful. Shif is now branded. Pelosi is weakened more. And Republicans have displayed the faces of some very sharp representatives on their side.

[Magnatron]

How in the world did an article like this, actually end up getting published? Good job.

Umm... not so much. From the article:

To me, there’s little question such a call from the president — whether he was explicitly favor trading or not — is at the very least unethical and at most an abuse of power

It’s not unethical or an abuse of power if there’s a strong likelihood of corrupt behavior on the part of those needing investigation — regardless who they are or what they’re running for.
