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.

Go Donald. Gauntlet thrown down Re Pelosi and her son who may be deep in Ukraine corruption.
Trump is just carrying out his duty to assure our country and even congress as was pointed out yesterday to congress that corruption doesnt exist before releasing aid.
Right. Yesterday’s hearing was a disaster for them. Pelosi needed to quickly change the MSM narrative.
And the leaker, Ciamarella and Brennen and Comey and Hillary.
Is it possible he is using reverse psychology - get them to drag it out into 2020? When there is nothing (no evidence) there... there is nothing there. Keep it up demokraps. Not even their political hack legal “experts” yesterday could help them yesterday. Some in the GOP are stepping up to the plate.
Exactly, they will drag this out into 2020. I predict there will never be a vote on impeachment, just continuous hearings for the “impeachment inquiry.” If they were ever to vote on impeachment, they lose control of the narrative once the trial proceeds to the Senate.
I fear that will not be a sufficient deterrent. Between the Romney's of the world, Senators being shown the contents of their Deep State security files, and oceans of money for those who vote to convict, I think there is a real risk of the Senate selling out the country.
“’...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.”
I love this guy more and more every day!
Trump. 2020. Landslide! MAGA! KAG! :)
Just heard Judge Nappy comment on witnesses and new evidence that would be given by Trump’s team. The man has lost his mind.
This trial is not and never will be about evidence, since there is none. It will rely solely on accusation and deception.
As much as I appreciate your points I still don’t think they will turn on Trump as this would effectively finish off the gutless GOP for good. Its a fake party that has done nothing but deceive us for decades. It should have been abandoned long ago in favor of a new party that actually stands for something.
What you are about to do, Nanzi, do quickly.
And collect your 30 pieces of silver.
Another view...
While the impeachment will ultimately fail, this wont end with impeachment.
If the House stays in Democrat hands next year, they will refuse to certify Trumps re-election. They will never stop. They will take every action they can dream up. This doesnt end in anything other than bloodshed. Copious bloodshed.
Assassination is still very much on the table.
The Tree of Liberty does require an occasional watering. It’s barely survived a long drought.
But when they see the polls that say the dems will lose the House they will pay attention.
I hope that you’re correct but we see lots of evidence
that getting their agenda in place is more important to them, for example their push to put out movies that don’t make a profit. They own most of the polls so they can manipulate them any way they wish. Nevertheless, I hope I’m wrong.
The Dems will take exactly as much as the GOP gives them. The GOP could be returning fire. They are not. So the Dems escalate and escalate. It seems the Dems and GOP have a gentleman’s agreement: while Trump is in the WH the Dems are free to do anything against him.
Pelosi wants to get a vote before the IG report comes out or she want the impeachment activities to be going on in the house to distract from the IG report and actions in the senate by Graham and committee. She is between a rock and a hard place.
^ This + 1 Retail marketing 101, nailed it.

This week, Chairman Nadler told me to provide him with my witness list.
But Pelosis press conference seemed to indicate were moving straight to articles of impeachment.
Judiciary has jurisdiction over articles of impeachment, but does the chairman even know whats going on?
McConnell and many RINO Senators will never allow an investigation of DC corruption generally to occur.
I predict the House will impeach before Christmas, McConnell in the show of fairness will allow Schumer to dictate fairness of process in the Senate, nothing substantial will happen. There will be no Schiff, Biden, Whistleblower, etc testimony. Some of the administration will be called in and if they do not get something that derails current truth the Senate will acquit.
The Democrats will continue to investigate with the intelligence committee issuing subpoenas and getting phone records etc to intimidate and keep corruption narrative alive for the Democrats. Republicans in the Senate will continue to talk and do nothing to stop the process. The DOJ and FBI are so corrupt at their core no serious investigations will occur.
When the Democrats next gain the Presidency with 2020, 2024 or 2028 our Republic is over for good and all rights disappear. We will be a completely surveillance police state.
The left has no case and intends to control the narrative up to and perhaps beyond the election. They know low-information voters will be swayed by their constant drumbeat.
