Dem leaders signal they won’t accept Trump acquittal as legitimate

Democrats signaled in the runup to the looming conclusion of President Trump's impeachment proceedings that they'll simply refuse to accept his all-but-certain acquittal because his "sham" trial lacked proper witnesses and evidence.

Signaling how they will message the saga in the coming months on the campaign trail, top Democratic leaders in the House and Senate argued Trump can never erase the stain of impeachment because the trial wasn’t legitimate.

"The president's acquittal will be meaningless," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declared Friday, "because it will be the result of a sham trial. If there are no witnesses, no documents in this trial, there will be a permanent asterisk next to the acquittal of President Trump written in permanent ink."

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. said Republicans may get what they want -- a speedy end to the trial -- but it won't have any value.

Dem leaders signal they won’t accept Trump acquittal as legitimate

Oh, this is bad! Next, they might decide that his election was illegitimate and he's not really the president.

Oh, the horror of it all!

Think they'll try to impeach him? [/sarc]

No....Nancy called it off. She said she'd get back to him.

In the meantime, I hope the President does it from the oval office....and only Presidential photographers.

Lol, They are truly insane. How can even their own base legitimize such a radical thought as this?

I thought the Dem Leaders said that this WAS NOT A TRIAL and that the rules of court didn’t have to be followed.

I hear that from most people in legal proceedings when they don’t get their way.

And we’re supposed to give two sh*ts... why?

Are they going to hold their breath and stomp their feet, too?

And who is it that's tearing the Country apart?
They are not above in-sighting their base to the point that they riot in streets of blue cities
and then demand Trump step down for the good of the Country.

The important question is what is Dem resident genius Maxine Waters thinking.

Chuck, the “trial” was in the House. The jury (The Senate) will render a verdict.

Go home Chuck, you bother me.

You just can't make this s**t up.

They seem to be very good at making s**t up. That might be their only actual ability, however.

This is the RATS entire 2020 campaign strategy. Get Trump at all costs. Meanwhile, while they’re busy with impeachment 24/7 Comrade Sanders is making a big move in the RAT presidential race. That’s another disaster in the making for them. This whole thing is blowing up in the RATs faces. They’re passengers on a doomed plane with no pilot flying it, and they’re heading to catastrophe! The local AA chapter in DC will have a rush of Democrats seeking help in the coming months!
