MAJOR BACKFIRE: Democrats REVOLT – Schiff And Pelosi Are Panicking
Explain Life ^ | Dec. 30, 2019 | Martin Walsh

Posted on 12/30/2019 9:21:29 AM PST by Jess Kitting

The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives committed political suicide two weeks ago and passed both articles of impeachment — obstruction of Congress and abuse of power — against President Donald Trump.

After leading the most partisan impeachment inquiry in modern American history, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is refusing to send the articles of impeachment over to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell because she says Republicans won’t hold a “fair” trial.

But maybe Pelosi is refusing to send the articles to the upper chamber because she knows several Senate Democrats will defect and vote against the sham charges levied against the president.

As noted by Breitbart, there are at least 5 Senate Democrats in battleground states who will likely vote against impeachment:

Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue said Thursday that a “couple” Senate Democrats will likely vote to acquit Trump during the Senate impeachment trial.

Possible, but not probable in my opinion.

I’m still inclined at this point to believe that the Democrat senators are going to vote almost universally against the president.

First off, it is second nature for the Rats to double down when they make a tactical error.
I also think that their reasoning, if you can call it reasoning, will be that they’ve already blown it and it will look even worse if they don’t all stick together.

I think they’re also working hard to ensure that at least a couple of Republican Senators vote to convict. Then they will make that their entire PR campaign afterwards. As far as Democrats and the media are concerned two Republicans voting against the president is proof that he deserves to be removed from office. Watch and see if I’m not right.

Agreed! Folks should take this with a very big grain of salt. It looks and smells, like more BS clickbait.

I didn't know that that many Dem senators might vote to acquit.

Who might they fear the wrath from if they did, Chuck Schumer?

If said “Republicans” think it’s ok to be both witness and prosecutor/questioner, they’re not “Republicans.”

The entire “whistleblower” thing is a fraud perpetrated by conspirators, Atkinson, Ciaramella, Schiff’s staff, and others. Fraud varies in seriousness by the magnitude of the fraud, defrauding someone out of a nickel isn’t much of a crime. Defrauding the Senate is a bigger deal.

>>Even she knew impeachment was going to be a bust that the president would capitalize on.<<

I don’t think that’s the case. My interpretation of Pelosi’s action is that Schiff convinced her that he and the whistleblower had the real goods on Trump.

If the whistleblower’s complaint were accurate, Trump would probably be impeached. I think Schiff convinced Pelosi that it was accurate. Maybe he even convinced himself, although I doubt that. So Pelosi signed on to impeachment and then Trump trumped them both by releasing the transcript. Game over.

Let’s have the Senate do its job. Then it’s on to the 2020 landslide, where more and more people will want to be a part of making history by voting for PDT.

I think the health of RBG is a major concern for the left. However, I do not know if they are that strategic in their thought process. If impeachment was for a strategic reason I believe it is more likely a proactive defense of her own son, Paul Pelosi Jr., who appeared to be doing the same thing Hunter Biden was doing in the Ukraine (and elsewhere) so she may be trying to frame an argument of partisanship to defend her own interest.

It certainly was not done with any prayerful reverence for the institution. Consider the schizophrenic nature of what we just witnessed and how many times they reversed themselves on what they alleged, terminology, the importance of being hasty, and etc etc.

Excellent! They were so proud of their Crossfire Hurricane, and it has morphed, hasn’t it?

There are a few concepts to think about:
1) Basically move to dismiss the impeachment (short timeframe) in the Senate since it has no basis, then allow Barr, Durham, and others prosecute the hell out of the conspirators, or,

2) Elongate the trial in the Senate, bring in the Bidens, go into scorched earth mode to acquit Trump, but it won’t have the same effects as #1 above since the Senate can’t imprison anyone, or,

3) Play along with the double-tap, Schiff-Nadler-Two-Step per the #FlamingBagsOfDogPoop Theory below, going after Trump and Pence in one stroke:

The Full and Complete Coup D’etat to Impeach Trump and Pence

The Flaming Bags of Dog Poop Impeachment:
Nancy sets fire to a flaming bag of dog poop at the front door of the Senate (impeach Trump), but delays ringing the doorbell. This buys time for Schiff and Nadler to put together a second bag of flaming dog poop (impeach Pence).

Nancy sets up the second bag of dog poop at the back door of the Senate. Sooner or later, Nancy rings the front doorbell. Mitch stamps out the fire at the front door. Then Nancy rings the doorbell at the Senate’s back door, forcing Mitch to track dog poop throughout the Senate. Mitch stamps out the second flaming bag of dog poop, getting his shoes even dirtier.

Since Nancy is used to slogging through feces in her own district, she prances up to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to occupy the White House in triumph.

If successful, AG Barr will be fired, but will first whisper in Nancy’s ear, “All glory is fleeting....”

The increasingly negative stories about Hunter Biden are making their way through the recent news cycles.

Any Democrat Senator, who can manage to take 5 minutes off their Trump Derangement Syndrome, now knows WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, that a Senate impeachment trial will end up headlining the Biden scandal more than anything else. They also know that a trial will very likely prove Ukrainian interference into the 2016 election to benefit Bag Lady. They know that a trial will expose the facts about the whistleblower’s (Leaker) ties to Schiff and Biden.

They know a trial will indict Biden and the DNC for their crimes and misdeeds more than it will ever dirty up DJT, and that President Trump will be guilty only of a thought crime for attempting to carry out his Presidential duties to root out corruption with the Ukrain, as he is required to do before handing over hundreds of millions of US taxpayer $.

I’m doubtful. Same was said about the House but in the end only 2 Dems voted against Pelosi.

5 seems very unlikely. Maybe 2. Manchin because he may have eyes on being Governor. Jones maybe, that depends on his internals. If he thinks he has a chance of re-election he will be a no because he knows if he votes against Trump he’s as dead as Vince Foster.

Gary Peters of Michigan

John James lost to Debbie Stabenow in 2018 because Republican voters stayed home. Well, he's running again against Peters and this time I suspect he's going to win. Peters knows that if he votes to impeach, he's definitely dead.

Yeah but where McStain and killer Kennedy are is extremely hot!

For some reason, I take great comfort in that…
