Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) called for the recusal of four Democrat presidential candidates from the impeachment process against President Donald Trump on Wednesday after Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed the articles.

Blackburn said in an emailed statement:

Tomorrow, one hundred United States Senators will be sworn in to serve in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. Four of those Senators must recuse themselves for their unparalleled political interest in seeing this President removed from office.

These four Democrats, Senators Bennet, Klobuchar, Sanders, and Warren, cannot sit in judgment of the very President they seek to replace. To participate in this trial would be a failure of the oath they took to be an ‘impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws’. Their presidential ambitions prohibit their ability to view this trial through an objective lens.

In the email sent to her supporters, Blackburn noted:

In Andrew Johnson’s impeachment trial, an objection was lodged against an Ohio senator who was next in line to become President, if Johnson were removed.

No. They’re not special.

Biden is John Q. Public. He ain’t shit. He should commit hari Kari to keep any honor he ever had but he’s roadkill in this Schifft show.

[j.havenfarm]

Senators really believe their own PR as being “the greatest deliberative body,” and they look down on the House.They’d wear togas if they thought they could get away with it. If the managers don’t start faking some respect they’re going to regret it. This simpleton and Nadler “warning the Senate” earlier today are not going to go over big with the Senators.

I’ve been saying this for weeks. Why is the president accused of targeting his opponent when these senators are voting in the impeachment trial?

---

Me too. They are his political opponents. That is the ONLY point of this whole impeachment;he wouldn’t have been impeached if he’d gone after Hillary or Obama. It was solely about Biden having been his opponent. You can’t have it both ways.

[scrabblehack]

That was Ben Wade, no? He ended up not recusing himself but voting not guilty. I hadn’t made the connection that he was President Pro Tempore before.

[albie]

The “objective lens” part really cracked me up

[PghBaldy]

Yep. Maybe it is better that they are forced to remain in the Senate during the duration. Go Joe, Go!

[immadashell]

Sanders, Warren and Biden should ALL recuse themselves.

Sanders and Warren are Senators, Biden, on the other hand, is just an imbecile..

[metmom]

GOOD!!!

Pelosi should have been from the start. She has too much of a vested interest in getting rid of Trump and Pence.

It’s such a blindingly clear conflict of interest that I am surprised that nobody has brought it up before.

[LaMudBug]

Why would Pulosy be offering Blackburn any thing for introducing this bill? Please explain... confused deplorable
Thanks...

This will be The Boogaloo

Don't get your hopes up. There will be a lot of stump speeches and other jaw-boning, and the President will be acquitted, but don't expect the Republicans to go on the offensive.

Ben Wade

Bad Guy in Elmore Leonard's short story, 3:10 to Yuma. Played by Ben Ford in the movie, then by Russell Crowe in the remake.

[dp0622]

Why would pelosi offer her something to take FOUR votes away?

They’re not accused of anything and it can do no harm to them.

Not sure why some of you think this was said to help dems.

[SteveH]

BOOM!

[ReaganGeneration2]

Sen Blackburn is simply making a first strike, because the Alinsky Dems will call for recusal of every single ( “biased” ) GOP senator except Romney.

Under the old pre-Trump, pre-Sessions-as-AG politics rules, many GOP would have complied.

[going hot]

THERE is a problem with recusing, on either side.

It lowers the number of those present, so the 2/3 of those present becomes a smaller number, so less votes are needed to vote guilty to remove.

67% of 96 is 64.

The only reason Pervert Joe is running for President in 2020 is because he was tipped off that Trump knew of his corruption and wanted it exposed. Biden announced his candidacy on late April 25th, 2019. Trump's people had been investigating Biden and other corrupt Deep State criminals for over 2 years, and Biden wanted to insulate himself and his corrupt family.

The July phone call is where President Trump casually mentions Biden's corruption. It is almost a throw away line. But the Democrats went nuts, because so much of their money laundering, graft, and corruption was done with the aid of corrupt Ukraine thugs in both government and in the energy industry.

The entire Mockingbird news propaganda agents were given their narrative: "Trump Attempted to Smear a Political Opponent (Biden), And Therefore Must Be Impeached!"

The rationale being that anyone who runs as a Democrat is immune from any prosecution, because.....like.....Trump is bad.

There is no more rule of law in our nation. None. The FBI is corrupt. Wray is corrupt. The DOJ is corrupt, and staffed with 97% Democrats. Most of our judges are corrupt. Barr is inept, and refuses to carry out a swift and total prosecution of the D.C. criminal class.

schiff & pelosi benefitted from fund raisers by Ukrainian born arms dealer Igor Pasternak.

it has been reported that:

<> Pasternack has connections to Soros

<> Pasternak was in the Ukraine about the same time that VP Biden’s son was appointed to the Burisama Board

[a little elbow grease]

but don't expect the Republicans to go on the offensive

Which generations of Americans were/are most responsible for these "revolting developments"?

Is the Mockingbird singing stronger than ever? Looks like it.
