Democrats’ Top Impeachment Witness Just NUKED Pelosi’s Entire Senate Strategy

One of the top impeachment witnesses the Democrats presented in their case against President Donald Trump, just took a hatchet to the plans of Nancy Pelosi to gain the upper hand against Senate Republicans in any trial against Trump.

Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman said in an op-ed on Thursday that Democrats have not yet impeached the president despite their vote last night.

Uh, oh!

Feldman’s op-ed at Bloomberg News comes as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is considering withholding sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate because she is worried that the political trial would be biased in favor of the president.

“So far we haven’t seen anything that looks fair to us,” Pelosi told reporters last night. “That would’ve been our intention, but we’ll see what happens over there.”

Feldman noted that “according to the Constitution, impeachment is a process, not a vote,” and that while a modest delay would not pose a problem, a lengthy delay would be a “serious problem.

(Sorry, Nancy, it gets even worse...)

Thanks. Keep me updated.

I have no interest at all in the current dumbed-down Democrat Party.

When I was young, there were many Democrats for whom one could have respect, even while disagreeing with them.

Today, I can’t think of a prominent Democrat who hasn’t crossed over into ‘Virulently Anti-American and Crazy’.

Pelosi and Schumer have especially shown themselves as absolute political whores.

a fair trial is the right of the ACCUSED!!!

Yes, Rush Limbaugh pointed this out today.

The prosecutors [persecutors] are demanding the right to a fair trial - for THEMSELVES.

NOT for the accused.

We’ve apparently changed the American justice system from a fair trial for the accused, to a fair trial for the accusers...

I used the wrong word.
Everything doesn’t end at the end of a session but does at the end of a Congress.
A Congress has two sessions and there’s another one coming.
After that session nothing carries over to the next.

I asked a question regarding whether impeachment would have occurred if the papers had not been sent to the senate.

Here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3802097/posts?page=90#90

Question is:

If Pelosi and democrats retreat and fail to send the impeachment papers to the senate...

Will it mean that Trump WAS NOT IMPEACHED?

I repeat, trump thinks he’s impeached.

If you hadn't noticed, our President is one of the only people in the world that can take back what he said about being impeached, and get away with it.

Everyone also says the Senate tries an impeachment by the House.
So why aren’t they holding the trial now?

It’s a fine point, but he’s not impeached until he’s impeached TO the Senate.

Doesn’t matter, they’ll send the articles after the break.

the various links I posted show it’s just not him.

Can you show where after the vote a president is not impeached. Clinton was immediately considered impeached. And are you saying Trumps advisors are idiots?

are Breitbart, the Washington Times, and OAN liberal wrong sources.

This insistence that Trump is not impeached just makes the FR look like a kook site to normal people who have IQs over 100.

Carefully re-read what I posted to you:

me: If you hadn't noticed, our President is one of the only people in the world that can take back what he said about being impeached, and get away with it.

I'm saying that Trump could tweet out some mockery taking back everything he said about being impeached, and get away with taking it back.

He simply doesn't give a crap what the Democrats think, what you think, or what some of his advisors think about "framing the argument".

please keep avoiding the obvious explanation. He was impeached, he knows he was impeached, Limbaugh knows he was impeached, Hannity knows, Elder knows, Prager knows, most people know he was impeached, McConnell knows he was impeached, the house minority leader knows he was impeached, i know he was impeached, You however keep stirring the pot with a made up scenario.

Did you watch his 30-minute speech this morning?

He ripped off both Pelosi's and Schitt's heads, and Schitt down their necks.

Surprisingly, the Media is misrepresenting what McConnell said this morning.

And many people on the Right apparently don't understand what McConnell was saying, either.  thinking face

There is no precedent for it so it hasn’t been defined yet IMO.
I think it would be entirely fair to define it as “not impeached” if the articles are never sent to the Senate.

I'm explaining how Persuasion works.

Trump is one of the greatest Persuaders in the world [his pastor was Norman Vincent Peale [The Power of Positive Thinking].

You can't claim to understand what Trump is up to unless you understand this part of his roots.

If you're not willing to learn more about this, I'll just shut up, and we can part ways on this thread.

Facts don't matter - it's part of the human experience.
