At 9:30am tomorrow morning, on the Senate floor, I will speak about House Democrats’ precedent-breaking impeachment of the President of the United States.

Start the case without the Democrats. Until Nancy hands it over, use the Senate floor in your favor

Seriously? You do realize this is the same mcconnell who is, and was part of the gang of 8 during the russia witch hunt. Also the same mcconnell who has yet had any of his committees investigate anything with regards to Ukraine. mcconnel is going to come out tomorrow and say that he wants to follow the same rules of the clinton impeachment. One that gives the opportunity to dismiss after the initial airing of the articles of impeachment. If that fails, then they have a hearing where both sides call witnesses. But mcconnell is assuming he has control of at least 51 votes. I'm not so sure that is true. If mcconnel does not control 51 votes, then 4 rinos could have complete control over the whole process. Imagine romney, collins, mccowski and burr deciding the rules of the hearing.

I think McConnell will say the trial starts on Jan xx. Be there Nancy with your managers/prosecutors, or the trial goes on without you. I don’t think there is anything about “transmitting” the articles of impeachment. But then the founding fathers never imagined anything like todays democrat party.

I’ve dutifully voted for every GOP presidential nominee for the last 31 years. A few of ‘em I liked or thought I liked. And a few of ‘em I never liked (McCain, Romney). I have NEVER wanted the GOP candidate to win as badly as I want Trump to win in 2020. And I say that as someone who was no particular fan of his in 2015-16 and didn’t vote for him in the GOP primary. No president has ever been treated so unfairly by the opposing party and the media. It’s not even close. From election day 2016 on, they Democrats and their allies in the media have never accepted the will of the voters. No victory will ever be as sweet as Trump’s reelection in 2020. If it happens, and please God let it happen, it will be the ultimate act of justice by the American people. If it doesn’t happen, the Democrats will destroy what’s left of this country with open borders and judicial tyranny to assure that they’re never out of power again.

The democrat wing of the house is a disgrace. Not one Republican voted to impeach...and they weren’t even allowed to call witnesses or any of the legal procedures that are supposed to be allowed in an impeachment.

He would literally have to commit treason for me not to vote for him and for a man who loves his country as much as he does, I don’t think that’s even possible.

That is my exact same story, right down to the 31 years.

They never constituted themselves as a judicial body so, their “impeachment” ain’t...

“Nothing in the Constitution speaks of the House transmitting the article of impeachment to the Senate”

Without formal notice and particulars how would the Senate proceed?

And later, perhaps in the Senate Judiciary Committee, there’ll be time set aside for the POTUS to present his side of the story with witnesses, including several from the Ukraine, testifying under oath with opportunity for cross-examination. Schiff and Nadler will look like two cents, along with the rest of the Dems. Let the MSM spin it as they please. They have less and less credibility to the more they attack.

Reading on facebook/breitbart: Some Dems think the President has been removed from office, while others think that AND that Hillary is now president. Ignorance is NOT bliss, they are gonna be upset.

The demonrats in the House want to delay sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate because they believe they will tip the Senate in their favor come November. The House will then send the Articles to the Senate, to which the demoncrats believe they will control, and then put on a raux trial to remove Trump at the start of his second term. I believe this is their strategy for 2 reasons 1) most everyone who is not a demonrat says Trump is going to win the next election as if it is already a done deal and 2) this is more of a payback for when the Senate held up the SCOTUS nomination until after the election in 2016. Believing they can flip the Senate is what they are putting all of their cards on. Remember Trump touted he gained seats in the Senate. Look closely at the Senate races this coming election. The demonrats will pull some devious ballot switching. Almost a reason for the ballot boxes to be watched and the digital tabulations to be even closely monitored than before. Soros has his dirty and blood-stained hands into this impeachment that you can be certain of that.

The stage is already set for trickery to occur so the demonrats will get the House, Senate, and Presidency and if they can’t get the WH, you can bet they will impeach Trump again and if they control the Senate and House, then he will be removed. Whoever is Trump’s running mate will also be impeached shortly thereafter. The election for President is important but what is equally important is flipping the House and retaining or acquiring an even larger majority in the Senate.

I think it should be dismissed, and with a severe rebuke directed at the commie queen bee and her commie attendants. Let it be made public record.
