Trump: Bring On The Senate Trial!

An impeachment is exactly what Orange Man Bad wants! It would be so un-woke to do what he asks.

[ClearCase_guy]

Though from what I understand, the Ds have to approve of the witness even though they are the minority?

I could be wrong, but I think the Senate is the jury.

And the jury doesn't get to determine who can be a witness.

Supreme Court Chief Justice determines such things, I think. And Roberts has a conflict and ought to step down so that someone else can run the show.

[Huskrrrr]

Kicking ass and definitely taking names.

[Sacajaweau]

So Graham is going to investigate the Bidens and all the Republicans in the Senate are then going to be impeached??

[euram]

did you notice yesterday when Schiff was closing the “impeachment hearing” he was almost in tears? If he had kept talking for another 10 seconds he would have been bawling like a baby. I don’t doubt, even though the hearings produced nothing, that the dems will vote to impeach and let it go to the senate where they will be humiliated to no end. If they called Schiff as a witness he would be blubbering within a few minutes.

I know SO LITTLE about this process.

But what you said would make sense.

I dont WANT to have to read up on it but i will if it makes it that far

But IMPEACHMENT, the word, just applies to dems voting on it, right.

Does the word have any relevance once it goes to the senate?

Like a grand jury decision doesn’t really mean much to the jury in a trial, i’m thinking this is the same way.

[Sacajaweau]

They don't have to prove anything....they just have to put together "a term paper" to send to the judiciary.

Then that disgusting twerp (Nadler) will be the big boss....and I do mean big...

[frank ballenger]

Darn, I can’t find yesterday’s article but it seemed to say there is some power Nadler has over allowing or disallowing witnesses, testimony and transcripts to be used in the Senate during the referral resulting in a Senate trial.

Can that be true?

Now I want to know more than ever.
Experts on FR, please help. Thanks.

RE: GHB has a 91!!! percent approval rating after the gulf war.

Amazing to lose that election.

Re> It will die a quick death when it reaches the Senate

I hope not. I want to see Hunter Biden and Schiff along with his staff under questioning from the Republicans.

[Lopeover]

Susan stood with Kavanaugh. She may be more liberal, but I think she is more of a Stateswoman than Romney a Statesman. Murkowski has some strange relationship with Feinstein.

[bert]

Well, we know that many here will find or conjure up rationalization to desert president Trump and vote for the usurper

[Sacajaweau]

We want this "disturbance" of our government to land back in the Dem's lap....just like the Russian Collusion farce.

I'm still trying to figure out how Trump would benefit if Ukraine provided additional info on Biden.

We already knew ABSOLUTELY about the $1 billion bragging session. And we already knew ABSOLUTELY that Biden got a sh**load of money while daddy was VP.

Where would the gain be??

[Tennessee Conservative]

They wanted him to pull a Nixon and make it easy on them. He’s not made that way. He doesn’t quit. He fights back.

[mdmathis6]

It’s funny because I brought out this same point about conflict of interest even before I saw that articles have been put out just in the last day about this....

Not saying I was clairvoyant but the thrust and flow of the controversy led my thinking there and by Jove, several articles in the last couple of days have come out pushing this same type of thing about Roberts....

I think the hidden powers that be may be signaling that the effort to oust Trump isn’t worth the reward....that Trump is spoiling to pull the curtains back to expose the men and women hiding behind them....!

Look for a wimpy censure effort and some “quid pro quo” arm twisting with Trump to make this all go away.

Besides the money people may have discovered that Trump has been making them a lot of money with the policies he has put in place and thus,why should they let the Deep State spoil their newest golden goose!?

[rktman]

Did I hear last night that the house may actually have some articles to bring forward in a month to vote on in this impedebacle? Guess the senatorial contestants for the next (s)elections are gonna be tied up in the trial and NOT on the campaign trail then? Awwwwwwwwww

[ClearCase_guy]

Look for a wimpy censure effort and some “quid pro quo” arm twisting with Trump to make this all go away.

I don't think President Trump is interested in a deal this time. This is personal. This is payback. I think all he wants to do is crush these people.

[Aria]

I think the Rats were looking for a “Quid Pro Quo” from Trump, lay off of us, and we’ll drop Impeachment.

Trump decided to call their bluff.

I totally agree. Trump is not going for a truce...he's going for victory.

[Artcore]

Be careful what you wish for. There are far too many spineless GOP members of the Senate.

____________

Relax! Trump knows exactly what he’s doing!

[mdmathis6]

I didn’t see the story...was their a “lunch” or something recently at the white house...a kind of Nixonesque visit by Republicans to somehow convince Trump that he has no hope?

Hah...that would explain Trump’s interview today..His flat out answer...”So then try me! And lets see the chips fall where they may....!”
