Media to Hold Own Impeachment Trial
American Thinker.com ^ | January 20, 2020 | William L. Gensert

Posted on 01/20/2020 6:31:12 AM PST by Kaslin

The dilatory tactics of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to keep the Senate impeachment trial going with constant demands for new witnesses and new evidence is intended to tarnish the president with the stain of impeachment “forever.” It will also give media the opportunity to prosecute Trump’s impeachment on CNN and MSNBC, and in the New York Times and Washington Post, for the purpose of turning the public against Trump and his reelection, no matter what happens in the Senate.

They know they cannot get a guilty verdict in the upper chamber, so they will strive mightily for a guilty verdict from the public with a new Christine Blasey Ford emerging daily; Lev Parnas is merely the first.

Like synchronized swimmers, Media heads will ask that day’s Julie Swetnick leading questions to get the answers they want -- something that wouldn’t be allowed in a court. The goal is to get the public to convict Trump despite the House prosecutors’ inevitable loss in the Senate.

The beauty of Dem/media’s ploy is that it doesn’t matter whether the Senate allows or disallows witnesses in the impeachment trial. If they can’t get Republicans to agree to witnesses, they will cry, “Coverup!” If there is additional testimony, Republican witnesses will be ignored by media with the expectation that many voters will not seek the truth.

Even so, some believe it might benefit McConnell and the Republicans to allow some prosecution witnesses as a tradeoff to getting testimony from defense witnesses such as Hunter Biden, “whistleblower” Ciaramella, Joe “Hands on Leadership” Biden, Schiff (I’ll take House Committee Chairmen for $100, Alex), ICIG Atkinson, and maybe even the prayerfully prating and effulgent Nancy Pelosi (complete with her “good Catholic” coruscating halo).

The media started to impeach Trump even before the election day and the FBI colluded to plant libelous stories to further their fraudulent witchhunt.

Why would McConnell even allow most if not all of their case to be brought up in the US Senate??

99% of their case is based on Hearsay, Double Hearsay and Triple Hearsay and NONE of it would be allowed to be presented in ANY COURT IN AMERICA.

The Turtle should start out by saying ALL Federal Rules of Evidence Shall apply in this case before us. If any House Manager mentions any allegations that can NOT be corroborated with Direct Evidence, the Sargaent at Arms has a Pre Filled in WARRANT for your ARREST and Detainment for 180 Days in the Capitol Jail

The Dems need tp be shut down after their opening arguments. But we know the Republicans will purposefully throw the fight, and the sham trial will last at least two months with every conceivable witness being called by Schiff & Co.

Most people think the outcome is preordained. Wish I could be that optimistic.

Why are we, “trading off” anything?! The best defense is a strong offense. Let’s Roll, if we are going to entertain this whole charade. Subpoena Ciaramella, Chalupa, Schiff, Biden, Brennan...Have them sit quietly in the lobby until called up.

Yeah this strategy is working great for them - they have no idea the crushing that is coming or maybe they do and this is their last hurrah. Everyday president Trump and Nancy Pelosi are making the next generation of conservative minded Americans. Millenials are finally able to buy a car. Some are starting to get grown up jobs they've been locked out of because careers advancement got retarded during the Obama years - probably not pc to call them then dark ages but that's what they were to many career.

Combined with the no more free pass to liberal BS in everyday conversation becoming more common place - the democrat party is about to become shattered glass

Schiff led the impeachment inquiry, saying “Trump's actions demonstrated he will remain a threat to national
security and the constitution if he is allowed to remain in office."
Schiff also said “President Trump “warrants impeachment and trial,
removal from office and 'disqualification' to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States"....

================================

Keep in mind, Nancy's obsessed with being third in line for the presidency. She has already tasked Schiff with getting dirt on Pence.

To that end, she made sure the two Articles of Impeachment include the wording that Trump should not only be impeached, tried and removed from office..................

THIS IS THE KICKER ............but that he also warrants “disqualification" to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States............

That could allow the Dems to prevent Trump from taking office....even if reelected.

The media is in league with the Democrats to destroy Trump. They’re inseparable.

In which Trump was found guilty, frog-marched into the Rose Garden where he was executed in front of his family and staff before they are hauled off to prison...but then the alarm goes off and they have to get up and face another MAGA-angst-filled day at CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, or the NYT...

The Lame Street Media is nothing more than the TASS for the Democratic Party.

The all Democrat network lineup comprised of CNN, MSNBC, NPR, CBS, NBC, and ABC (collectively referred to as “MSM”), have scripted their play book, and are foaming at the mouth to put their plan into motion. Nothing that happens, which would benefit Trump, has any hope of passing through their filters. Thank God more and more people are on to the MSM, as that’s the only thing that can save us.

While Trump’s team will be scoring devastating blow after devastating blow to the Democrats Impeachment articles, the MSM will be parading various Democrat politicians/lawyers, and “unbiased” “news” analysts (collectively referred to as “schemers”) before their cameras, breathlessly “informing” the public how the dastardly Republican Senate is scheming to hide and prevent the truth from coming out.

All day long MSM “shows” will feature various “schemers” revealing what “facts” and witnesses are being blocked from the trial. And, since there is apparently no down side to broadcasting out right lies, it is not possible to even imagine what lies the creative and fertile mind of “schemers” such as the vile Adam Schiff will conjure up.

God save the United States of America.
