Why? Why – why would you – why would you be pushing this instead of calling these critical witnesses?


Election season, that’s why.

Mason wondered why Democrats didn’t compel former National Security Advisor John Bolton to testify. Turley confessed he was curious about the same thing as he slammed the rushed and incomplete process pushed by Democrats:

...

They are rushing because they want to finish before the first indictments for the Russia witch hunt.

It is my belief that the President and Bolton parted to protect Bolton. Their tiff....was just that. On the outside, Bolton is protected.

On the inside, every meeting with the President would be "spied" on.

Bolton does hold the key I'm sure...and it favors the President.

Whether this is intentional or not, it seems designed to fail in the Senate.

The whole thing is weird.

There are no charges. There is no crime.
The House can go ahead and vote to impeach and push it to the Senate if they want to. But what happens there? They have nothing! The Democrats cannot hope to convict in the Senate. There is no crime!
But on the other hand, the President will actually be able to mount a defense in the Senate. Is that what they want? Really? He will subpoena Schiff. He will subpoena the Bidens. He will subpoena Ciaramella.

This all looks very, very bad for the Democrats if this gets to the Senate. And they seem rather eager to make that happen.

It's just weird.

The CBS This Morning crew should stick with deer caught in frozen lake stories, this content is waaay over their head.
I heard this, Turley definitely gave an accurate observation, the other “expert” was a definate partisan.

I heard Reince Priebus on the same show today, He slam dunked all 3 so called hosts, I think they said “But, But” at least 10 times, he slam dunked them as well. A tough day for the lightweights at CBS This Morning, this morning.

Folks...remember when, how Democrat, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and her lock step Low Life, Democrat buffoons told us all, how they took no pleasure whatsoever in moving forward to impeach a duly elected POTUS, Donald J. Trump and what a heartbreaking, difficult and somber effort it was to be!!! Shucks...they told us all,...it was the last thing they all wanted to do!!! God give them strength!!! “HOGWASH”!!!

Folks...do you all know where Democrat, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Democrat, Adam Schiff, went with his other Democrat scum and vermin pieces of flawed humanity, after yesterdays impeachment hearings concluded......right to the nearest bar to celebrate wildly, with booze & broads, a little reefer, and who knows what else!!! So much, for the “Holier Then Thou” mantra!!! Folks you been had!!!

Yep...vote Democrat and introduce your family to Orwell’s “Big Brother” next year!!! Get used to this rant & rave 24/7/365...”I Love Big Brother”!!!

designed [??? emphasis added] to fail."

The only thing that desperate career Democrats know how to do imo is exploit low-information voters by winning their votes by promising constitutionally indefensible federal spending.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Anything else Democrats touch gets destroyed because of poor or no planning imo.

Remember in November 2020!

Wehle laughably pleaded: “Well, let’s hope it’s as civil as it was in the House, because so far the process has been, I think, very measured and thoughtful and professional, which is good.”

The MSM's definition of civil is when _you_ are not allowed to speak.

"The purpose of power is power."

One thing I’ll say for these traitors... their wagon may be full of $hit, but they’ve got a never ending supply of media mules to pull it.

Impeachment, in the Constitution, wasn't designed to fail; this instance of it may have been.

The President isn't the governor of the people, and is not elected by the people. The President presides over the federation of sovereign states, and it's the states that elect the President via the Electoral College. The states have the Constitutional power to choose how to select the Electors to the Electoral College.

Buttressing this, the impeachment trial was to be held in the Senate, which was made up of Senators appointed by the state legislatures. This means that the states, via the Electoral College, chose the President; and the states, via the Senate, could remove a President.

All this changed with the 17th amendment that made the Senate popularly elected by the people. No longer did the state legislature itself have the power of choosing their representation in the Senate. This means that the power to remove a President was effectively handed to the people, and by extension, to the political parties that fund the campaigns of Senators.

It's the party control of Senators today that makes impeachment destined to fail, but it wasn't designed to fail by the Framers.

I noted this on another thread but it’s worth repeating how drastic the opinion difference is between your typical pundit and true Constitutional experts.

Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz are libs but they do know the Constitution. And its funny how these leftist hosts, pundits and never-Trumpers on these shows seem to not comprehend why they don’t see the same ‘proof’ of Trump’s guilt that the pundits do.

They want the headlines ad nauseam but they definitely don’t want to be held to account by the voters.
