Smelling defeat, the impeachment Democrats' united front is showing signs of breaking apart
american thinker ^ | 1/26/2020 | Monica Showalter

Like week-old meat left in a hot car, the stench of defeat is starting to overpower the swag pens and stifled giggles in the Democrats' impeachment project.

Axios has fresh news about how bad it is:

Officials in both parties tell me that — barring surprise new information — President Trump is on a glide path to swift acquittal at his Senate impeachment trial, despite a blizzard of evidence bolstering Democrats' accusations.

Why it matters: Trump has a decent chance of avoiding witnesses and of losing zero Republican votes on conviction. Think about that: When the news broke, did anyone think every single Republican in the House and Senate would have his back? Bill Clinton pined for such unity. A source close to House Democrats sounded morose after Trump's defense team made its opening arguments yesterday: "I think our team feels like we did everything possible and are going to lose anyway."

"It feels like maybe we’ll still get a witness, but more likely not, and even if we do it won’t matter," the source added. "The GOP gamble is always that most voters don’t care about process ... Up to us to make them pay for this." The whole thing, from Axios big Mike Allen, king of the swamp, in a column that almost always can find a silver lining for the Democrats otherwise, (and didn't this time), can be read here.

The news comes as we were watching closely for signs of peel-off from either Republicans or Democrats on the Senate floor. Signs of something happening began a couple of days ago when #NeverTrump Republican and jealous former contender Mitt Romney expressed his displeasure with the Democrats' Schiff show, and made a de facto statement of support for Trump, which we know had to be distasteful to him

Bolton’s own staff put out a statement that he did not share it with anyone

That depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

CLASSIC weasel words. OF COURSE Bolton didn't share it with anyone.

Did someone with access to the proofs and operating under Bolton's direction do so?

Without a doubt.

The one constant from the Democrats (and Romney) from the very very beginning of this farce has been, "We have to hear from John Bolton".

Now we know why.

Call witnesses, especial witness #18. Their could be the best chance to totally destroy the DNC! It may drag things out a few weeks, but this is like taking a sledgehammer to a ant hill. If you let them walk away to like their wounds, they will heal and rebound. All this has to be unraveled. Can’t trust Gramnisty to do it! Call witnesses! Destroy all Monsters!

despite a blizzard of evidence


What the hell does that even mean?

What Blizzard? Operation "Biden steals taxpayer money" is no blizzard.


Tell you what MSM, lets just have a free for all in court. All players go down.

IMO < Schiff may become one of the most disliked men on the planet, when the coals of impeachment can’t be ignited in the Senate.

"...despite a blizzard of evidence bolstering Democrats' accusations"

They keep saying that, but they haven't shown any.

I envision them gathering in their “Impeachment Bunker”, playing old German records on their Victrola, drinking stains of warm beer and singing Peggy Lee’s “Those Were the Days” poignantly while passing around the cyanide Strueddel.

The RINOS want Trump gone but the democrats have nothing...

Not one RINO has the guts to vote to convict.

They will just hope he loses in 202O

“...and even better, maybe thrown out even from their safe seats themselves, come November. For Republicans, it’s time for hot pursuit”.

A handful of speculation repeated in many, many different ways.

Well it's either that or the old head on a pike.

It’s because he was fired. They have also demanded to hear testimony from Mick Mulvaney, but he hasn’t been fired so they don’t expect much from him.
