And this is one reason I like the quick dismiss version for the Senate. See the article about what Trey Gowdy recommended.
This can go both ways and there are merits to a trial vs a quick dismissal.
But either way the GOPe can screw this up for Trump. Remember many GOPe are guilty as hell and don’t want the corruption to be exposed or end.
A removal has serious potential for starting a civil war. I don’t say this flippantly at all.
Yes. The shadow government is behind the curtain. They have much to lose if Trump remains in office.
Trap for the deep state?
I believe little of what the Hill reports.
I like the idea of a quick dismissal. As much as I want to see Hunter Biden and Adam Schiff called up to testify under oath in the Senate I think if they dismissed quickly and then stated we are now moving onto the peoples business which is USMCA, health care reform and any new trade deal with China they will show who wants to legislate and who wants to obstruct.
When we take back the house, they can investigate the corrupt practices of Adam Schiff head in the next Congress.
Ron Brown died with the blueprints. It's bigger than Wall street at this point.
Every scenario should be considered.
There may be snakes in the grass ready and willing to strike.
I absolutely agree.
The Supreme Court Judge (who presides over the impeachment trial) could look at the two charges and say that, in each case, they are within the power of the executive branch and rule the impeachment null and void . . . end of story.
A trap is set and waiting. But it’s not for Trump.
Any GOP swnator who votes for removal is DONE.
There are some traitors in the Republican Party who would vote for Trump’s removal. Romney comes to mind. But not 20 of them.
This article is, I believe, a scare tactic to get Trump supporters in the Senate to toss out the case without having a trial. In a trial, key Democrats, and probably a few Republicans, are in danger of having some light cast on activities that would make them uncomfortable.
I'd prefer Trump to go for the jugular. Expose the corruption. The chips fall where they may. The risk is worth it, no?
Any way you cut it, a trial legitimatizes the biased, unfair, and fabricated charges. A trial will include Democrat Senators spewing their same usual crap to an adoring press and that, not Trumps side of the story is all you’ll hear on MSM and cable. And I want Humper Biden’s ass in a real courtroom where he goes to jail not as a school play intended to humiliate a family that is beyond humiliation.
It will be a short “trial” followed by a vote to acquit, over and done with as quickly as possible.
If nothing else, everyone should understand that information presented at a Senate trial about spygate conspirators would only serve to compromise their eventual prosecution in a real court after Durham’s work is finished.
What would the dem party have done if the GOP had put obama up for trial and impeached him?
Ya think they would have let it happen?
I have worried about the Senate pulling a fast one for this reason: They HATE Trump and they may think that we will scream...but do little.
They may think they can preserve the status quo by steamrollering us and plugging their ears.
>>Over the past week, I have heard from three seasoned Republicans who fear that President Trump and the West Wing are seriously underestimating the potential danger of a Senate trial.<<
I believe there are many who are seriously underestimating the danger of removing our President from office.
