President Trump said Thursday that if House Democrats are going to impeachment him they should do it "now" and "fast" so he can have a "fair" trial in the Republican-controlled Senate.
In a series of tweets, Trump also said he wanted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and the Bidens to testify at a Senate trial.
"The Do Nothing Democrats had a historically bad day yesterday in the House. They have no Impeachment case and are demeaning our Country. But nothing matters to them, they have gone crazy," Trump tweeted.
"Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair ... .trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business. We will have Schiff, the Bidens, Pelosi and many more testify, and will reveal, for the first time, how corrupt our system really is. I was elected to 'Clean the Swamp,' and thats what I am doing!" the president wrote.

Barr is not exactly an outsider, but I respect your opinion.
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will discuss the status of impeachment inquiry into President Trump at 9 a.m., her office announced early Thursday morning.”
Sorry, I will have to read about her babbling. Can’t stand to listen to her.
“Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair ... .trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business. We will have Schiff, the Bidens, Pelosi and many more testify, and will reveal, for the first time, how corrupt our system really is.

Can you imagine any other President in history speaking so clearly and being so correct.
Well, maybe FDR in his day that will live in infamy address to congress. But thats about it.
“”””Dont expect the Democrats to give up or go away simply because of a report from someone they disdain.”””””
True. But when they see the polls that say the dems will lose the House they will pay attention.
On the other hand, democrats are completely nuts. So there’s that.
“President Trump said Thursday that if House Democrats are going to impeachment him they should do it “now” and “fast” so he can have a “fair” trial in the Republican-controlled Senate.”
So President Trump used THREE of the words specified in this lead, none consecutively, and allegedly said that the Rats are going to “’impeachment’ him”.
All Big Media’s BEST “journalists” are busy personally bullying President Trump and his family.
As much as I distrust the senate Republicans the fact that this is a fake, politically driven impeachment without a single House Republican voting for it will ensure its dismissal in the senate.
How could any Republican senator vote for such a farce without suffering consequences at the ballot box?
Pelosi has caved to the communists in the house and they are progressing with articles of impeachment.... when they going to vote.... will be a while
The IG report is by the swamp for the swamp. Don’t get your hopes up

PELOSI: “The president leaves us with no choice but to act.”
“Sadly, but with confidence and humility ... today I am asking our chairmen to proceed with articles of impeachment.”
My prediction is that the Dems in the House will never vote on Articles of Impeachment. The reason is that once they vote to impeach, they lose control of the daily narrative. So they will string out this “impeachment inquiry” as long as possible without an actual vote to give the impression that Trump has been impeached without going through the actual process of impeachment.
Really don’t like that he used clean instead of drain
We don’t have a “Justice System”. We have a very badly-broken “Legal System”, and that’s stretching the term.
She just instructed the Judiciary committee chair to proceed with drafting of articles of impeachment. The Dems are going to undermine the foundations of our elections and try to move to a system where they will try to overturn a lawful election if they don’t like the result of the election.
And what exactly is Censure? A party line show vote?
Her voice sounded weak today and she lacked confidence but I think she said it’s still on. She babbled a lot about history. No details regarding a timeline.
We deem the Mother F——er impeached.
There’s your press conference on one sentence.
Besides Gaetz’s masterful retort, I think Turley’s clear-conscienced objection to Impeachment generated by his allegiance to the Constitution gave Madame Robotox some pause ... and she moved up today’s announcement from Friday before she loses any more members.
Yes, I think that is it. The press will preoccupy its time with impeachment, and all the other news will be buried.
She's also calculated that there is little downside risk to this escalation. Impeachment hasn't happened until the vote is taken. Meanwhile the accusations can flow, and the press will deem it all legitimate/correct because it comes out of Congress. The incontested facts are indeed uncontested by anybody in the press, so the DEM charaterization becomes the truth.
The press everywhere is the same. Ours is little different from that in North Korea, Russia, or Iran.
