.....it’s increasingly difficult to argue Pelosi's amateurish, constantly shifting effort has been effective....micromanaging every step, signing off on every committee report and press release — “aides say she caught typos in the final report” — and picked furniture that would make Schiff and the more diminutive Nadler look like equals.
My working theory: Pelosi realized that impeachment was a mistake. She didn’t want the president to be to able tell voters that he had been exonerated by the Senate. The only way to mitigate the damage was to undertake a ham-fisted effort to attack the Senate trial and dampen, or perhaps circumvent, that inevitable moment......however, Pelosi destroyed Democrats’ justification for rushing impeachment. Nadler and Schiff both argued that Trump’s tenure in office constituted a national emergency, and that the only way to save the republic from another stolen election was to move quickly.
McConnell, on the other hand, had to take only a short break from confirming judges to inform the House that the Senate would treat the impeachment of Donald Trump the same way it treated the impeachment of Bill Clinton — with a rules package that passed 100-0 in 1998.
Pelosi’s defenders argue......acting on the Clinton precedent means that moderate Republican senators such as Susan Collins “will face the real possibility that conclusive evidence of Trump’s wrongdoing will come to light after a sham trial. That would make for a disastrous, humiliating legacy.”
The gaping hole in this argument, and the reason Democrats are losing the debate, is that they’ve already claimed to have conclusive evidence of Trump’s wrongdoing. They claimed they had proof of bribery, but they didn’t include it in the impeachment articles. They claimed to have proof in the Mueller Report that Trump obstructed justice, yet it’s not in the articles of impeachments either.

Democrats painted themselves into a corner. Now they want to dump their turd impeachment on the Senate and forget it ever existed.
Sucks to be them.
Why is it not being reported that Pelosi sneaked away for a ONE DAY trip to Hawaii to get her botox treatments? In the midst if all the multiple crisises , and at taxpayers’ expense. Media in this country has become a complete joke.
Subject matter, politics.....
For all the candidates running for office for President.... are ALL of them offering everything imaginal free? everything offered to you for nothing? Who is paying for it so you can have it free? or do you think since it’s free, it costs nothing?
If any of the answers above fits you... please do some deep research.
Here we have a President who has cut your taxes, made a great economy, created more jobs, kept his promises, works tirelessly, keeps going strong even when they all want to stop the great country he has created in 3 years.
The other side has done nothing in 3 years except try to annul an election and make it to please them... spending millions and finding nothing at all to warrant any hunt they have done.
the other side is enticing you all with freebies.. Let me set this straight.. NO ONE.. and I do mean NO ONE.. can give you everything free. Research all you want... vote for the nut case who is lying to you... and you’ll end up with your bills still unpaid.. your car still needing repair... your school loan still owed... your health care still where it was.. you see... they lie to get elected and then do nothing.. and you are supposed to forget what they said.
You will no longer have a man in the Oval Office working for you..... if you believe them.. See, they are in this for THEMSELVES... and they had no intentions of giving you what they promised... it’s their way to get elected.. and then they can reap the profits of being in congress where the money comes in to and for those who will do favors for them...for the ones who want to do whatever it takes to get some money.. money and power..
Trump came in owing no one and still owes no one. He takes no salary... he donates it to others who needs it He works all day and half the night.. for the PEOPLE... no President has done this...
I could go on... but just don’t be a young adult who falls for the lies and promises that they have no way of keeping. and miss out on the man who has already shown he is one great President!! working for the people!
Don’t let gossip, media, democrats and other dummies who like to talk... convince you on anything... research and KNOW for yourself who is who and what is what.. Be the adult in the room!
They’ve got options left. They have Roberts presiding over the trial. Roberts is no friend of the President- expect daily, head scratching and outrageous rulings favoring the democrats and the deep state
Excellent!
IF there is a trial. Should Hawley’s rule change pass, he’s gonna file for immediate dismissal.
Democrats don’t have a good argument for holding impeachment hostage.
Well said, frnnewsjunkie!. I rarely respond but had to on this
NANZI AND SCHIFF WERE LYING IN WAIT LIKE COMMON CRIMINALS FOR REPUBS TO MAKE THE WRONG MOVE:
JONATHAN TURLEY WARNED US:
<><> House Intel Chair Adam Schiff insisted there was no time to waste in getting impeachment to the Senate ......
<><> (deluded) key Dems claimed there was a “WH crime spree in progress” and no time to delay.
<><> Pelosi immediately blocked submission of articles to the Senate.....apparently stalling for time
<><>...... suddenly demanding testimony from witnesses the House calculatedly omitted........
<><> (yawn) time is no longer of the essence.
Impeachment is a means to an end——PELOSI DESPERATELY WANTED MUELLER’S FULL DOSSIER-—AND HERE’S WHY:
The Mueller investigation was purposed to dig, legally, into every aspect of Donald Trump, his family, his friends, his finances, his companies, his legal holdings, his lawyers, his accountants, his history… all of it… and they did so under both Title-1 and Title-3 surveillance authority; the Mueller probe was a counterintelligence operation (and tasked to cover-up all Democrat wrongdoing).
Mueller has President Trump’s travel records, phone records, electronic files, electronic communications, emails, electronic records, family files, medical records, bank records, tax records,… THE WORKS … all with unlimited surveillance authority as granted by former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the useful status of an unlimited counterintelligence operation. Think about the scale of the material Weissmann and Mueller gained access to? Think about the scale of these Trump files?
AND THIS It wasn’t just “wiretaps” Democrats gained from the fraudulent FISA, the scurrilous
Obama’s obedient FBI requested and received full Title-1 surveillance authority of Trump including:
<><>wiretaps,
<><> electronic surveillance,
<><> the use of bugs and tracking devices,
<><> physical surveillance,
<><> electronic surveillance
<><> satellite geo-location surveillance
<><> and much more. The FBI requested a type of surveillance directed at Trump that is generally reserved for tracking suspected terrorists.
Leaked revelations showed then-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain a Title-1 FISA surveillance warrant against Trump principal Carter Page to conduct political espionage against the Trump campaign.
NOTE WELL: When Mr. Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain the phony FISA warrant, he was working under the guidance of FBI supervisory agent Peter Strzok.-—snip——rest posted on FR
Pelosi could make it ALL go away by asking Mitch McConnell to dismiss the Articles as a Bill of Attainder because the President was not afforded the Right if Due Process in the Schiff and Nadler Kangaraoo Court “Hearings.”
Bills of Attainder are prohibited under Article 1 section 9 of the Constitution.

I wonder - will President Trump attend the “trial?”
Should he?
Now contrast the highly illegal and fraudulent international framing of President Trump, (which included HRC/DNC $12M dollar payment to Russians for at least one of the sixteen “dossier” docs), for President Trump “allegedly” imteracting with the Russians, while the Obama/Clinton White Hut had long been involved in U-1, Skolkovo hypersonic missile, rail gun, and laser tech transfer, and then this —
And we are literally just scratching the global “pay for play influence scheme” surface, which literally made DNC leadership families rich from Russia to China in and everywhere they could sell us out for money.
And now they are trying to impeach a. Innocent and framed president for unfreaking nothing!
No country can survive this level of corruption,treachery, and really wholesale treason.
Why is it not being reported that Pelosi sneaked away for a ONE DAY trip to Hawaii to get her botox treatments? In the midst if all the multiple crisises , and at taxpayers’ expense. Media in this country has become a complete joke.
I did not see the story, but if true, the purpose had to be something different then botox.
I heard about some miraculous eyebrow expert that books some appointments in Hawaii. Now imagine if Nancy did not go to this expert? I can only imagine how much worse her face would look!
Rbg announced she is cancer free. Timing coincidences?
What irony! And the American People wish Nancy Pelosi would just go away!
Our elected leaders are not going to solve the corruption problem. You can't reform a corrupt system by operating within the rules of that system ... it's corrupt!
A country that doesn't prosecute treason will not long stand.
The reform will only come when the fury of patriots rains down on those who have corrupted our government. That process will require some assembly ... rope, lampposts, tar, feathers and lead. Lots of lead.
So - do they now have more delays because nobody is willing to go to the Senate as a “Manager”?
Saw a montage of the Bernster spitting the very same thing about the global warming hoax. Uh, oh.
