Mark Penn: Trump impeachment is an unproductive exercise in political rage – It’s time to end trial
Fox News ^ | 25 Jan 2020 | Mark Penn

“The Titanic” was the longest feature film ever produced. It has been surpassed with the debut of the 36-hour-opening argument for impeachment produced by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

"The Titanic" played to a larger and more enthusiastic audience.

We all knew how it would turn out. The ship sunk. Even Schiff admitted he knows how this impeachment is coming out. Trump gets acquitted.

So how much is enough? Relentless attempts to go after Trump’s finances have had no end. The Mueller report and Trump-Russia collusion theory lived on for years through a $32 million investigation. Now, after holding up the entire government for months with this impeachment, Schiff’s team wants the Senate to consider new witnesses and documents.

Tying up the entire government for an impeachment to nowhere is an unproductive exercise in political rage, not a solemn constitutional duty. It’s time to bring an end to this movie and let America hold an election.

Each side has made its key points. Schiff and his team have convincingly shown that President Trump and his personal lawyer wanted Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and maneuvered in various ways to get this done.

Democrats have put a huge flashlight on it, but at the end of the day, U.S. aid to Ukraine was delivered. No investigation was initiated, and Ukraine’s administration said it was never pressured. Schiff has had weeks and months to pound away and make Democrats’ case on their terms.

On the other side, Trump and his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, have raised questions about how and why Hunter Biden received millions of dollars for a job he was unqualified for and was hired after his father -- former Vice President Joe Biden...

Just watched today’s proceedings. Did anyone notice that Nadler did not participate in the prayer or the Pledge of Allegiance?
He waited outside the room and came in as the Pledge was ending.
God, how he must hate this country.

Did the demoncrats say a prayer or Pledge before their session? I didn’t watch - couldn’t stomach it.

Democrats have wasted millions of dollars in a pointless persecution of Trump.

They should tell us why they think getting rid of him is justified when he’s done a good job.

Since they sure as hell aren’t offering the country a viable alternative.

He’s also way off about Titanic being the longest movie.

They pushed it this far so now they deserve the gift of the hand grenade with the pin pulled. Trial, witnesses, Trump unleashed and blood all over that chicken coop. Then hose it out.

I have no problem with this sentence. I also want Ukraine and the US to investigate the Bidens and hope Trump and all his lawyers continue maneuvering to get this done. It is long overdue.

The dems have already threatened to continue to impeach President Trump. If Trump is acquitted this time, can the dems use the same articles to try again to impeach him, or does double jeopardy apply, or might “with prejudice” apply?

Overall,it’s a sad fact of where America is politically and overall showing the Republic in real trouble by the left. Nadler and Schiff are such scum.

Paragraph 3: The ship sank not sunk. Illiterate. Stopped reading right there.

Well, he was a Clinton person anyway. Past couple of years I’ve seen several honest pieces under his byline.
