Yeah. The complaining about Roberts is kind of pointless in this context. He has no real power and won’t decide anything.

This is the swamps moment, the moment they have waited for, for three years. This is the show down. Our president was elected to kick these people in the mouth, and they know it.

In a short time, Durham will be exposing them.

Hope springs eternal, but I doubt it.

Durham will give us a few scalps, and the major players will skate.

Hillary SHOULD have been prosecuted for her numerous blatant offenses, whether it was mishandling CLASSIFIED government documents to her shady deals and convenient “suicides” surrounding her and Bill.

On the Espionage Act ALONE, it was an open and shut case.

Then, even the weak IG highlighted this:

So we can fast track this sham impeachment, but it's been years, and years - and nothing done to Hillary.

HRC is STILL running DOJ.

In 1997 she swiped 900 FBI files on everybody in DC.She updated those from 2009-2013.

Everybody’s dirt in DC collectively outweighs ALL her and Bills baggage together

Why am I not one little bit surprised that Collins would be the FIRST RINO to vote with the Commies in this impeachment farce?

Pierre Delecto surely can’t be far behind.

The leftwing media (including FOXNEWS) is peddling their latest poll showing 51% of Americans want Trump convicted and out of office. 57% want more witnesses called. No matter how fake these polls are, when the public reads them they believe them.

“Nadler has been lying. He was called on it by the president’s men. Roberts then chastised both groups equally.”

C.J. trying to appear “impartial” when dispensing of admonishment only to nadler was required.

“I think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the House managers and president’s counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world’s greatest deliberative body. One reason it has earned that title is because its members avoid speaking in a manner and using language that is not conducive to civil discourse.”

...until they get outside the door, then all that fake civil discourse disappears faster than drops off cold water hitting a hot frying pan. Their chamber rules only constrain their deep hatred for each other. (BTW - This is why Trump is such an outsider to DC - these rules don’t make sense when dealing with people who want to destroy you.)

C.J. should have stepped in the moment nadler showed his disrespect to the US Senate, and then Trump’s legal would never have been put in the position to respond to the diatribes. A newly trained, rookie high school monitor would have done a better job than Roberts.

I despise Obamacare as much as anyone, but the individual mandate always WAS designed to be a tax. What else would it be, if it’s administered through the IRS and reported on your tax return?

“Nadler thinks he is influencing GOP Senators. “

You don’t go in an insult the people you are asking to do something ... accusing them of being part of an (imaginary) cover up by a large number of US Senators. We know demokraps are capable of doing such a thing; the GOPe isn’t that clever. nadler may be corrupt, but he isn’t stoopid.

He is playing for the tv cameras, creating one of the narratives to be used in the 2o20 election for the demokrap’s impeachment loss in the Senate. The objective here is to slander and libel POTUS. The major media will make an unreported political contribution to the demokraps and repeatedly amplify free of charge.

You could also say that for the Supreme Court. (it being a full-care assisted “barely” living facility for a certain justice)

I don’t think he even needed to be blackmailed. He’s just liberal.

I would like to believe that under the robe, he’s conservative, so conservative that he HAD to be bribed. But I don’t think he is. His traitorous decision on Obamacare came naturally.

Roberts is owned completely by the DS.

Proof:?
He issued orders from his bench that Congress should have,
as he lied about taxes/ObamaCARE to force
it down the throat of every American.

Lots of interesting reading in this story, much more than the title implies. My favorite tidbit concerns Ted Cruz. The RATs noticed his twitter account was actively commenting. Since phones were against the rules they accused Ted of being in violation. The tweets were from Ted’s staff who then tweeted an image of the phone with the comment ‘Come and Take it’ in the Molon labe style.”

Good on those Texans!!

Nadler lost control of his House hearing on impeachment, that’s why they gave it to Schiff.

They should keep poking him, he’s a soft target.

I will not hold my breath on that one.

The DOJ has been absent from the fight for three years and IMHO do not see them changing.

Mitch McConnell is not going to allow the Democrats to turn this into a circus like what was done to Judge Kavanaugh.

Dragging out the first day until the wee hours of the morning is a pretty good try.

Yep, I’m not comfortable that he’s presiding over this whatever the hell it’s supposed to be. Clearly the guy is completely compromised and owned by someone in totality.

Won’t happen in the senate. Especially if these old coots have been sitting in their own urine for hours. It is hilarious that Bernie and Liz thought they were going to Iowa at night.
