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.

The entire records of the house investigation were entered into “evidence.” And besides what are the dems going to do about it. Neener neener 😜

It was, of course, a sham indictment and a sham impeachment. This will remain for all time an impeached impeachment. In their rush to cover their crimes they have cast them upon a sacrificial lamb who refuses to accept the burden of their guilt.

Now reports of an SUV car chase near Mara Lago.

If this was a run on the Trump estate down there, it's exactly what the Leftists in the U. S. have been hoping for. That's why they won't let this go.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them address this issue in terms of, This is what you get when the legal system fails.

Wait for it... wait for it... it's coming.

Democrats signaled in -EVERYTHING THEY’VE DONE REGARDLESS OF FACTS OR TRUTH- that they’ll simply refuse to accept his all-but-certain acquittal

We already knew that.

Then why waste the taxpayers money and time? Game over, called on account of stupidity.

But this media break through is just another in a list of these. The liberals never lose, they just get cheated.

I thought two or three demoCLOWNS were signaling they would vote to acquit.

That makes it bipartisan.

More bipartisan than the House impeachment inquiries were, where no Republicans were allowed to participate.

The day is coming when PDJT will be advancing a nominee for SCOTUS. That nominee is likely to be Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

When that happens, Chucky Cheez will foam at the mouth, fall down and chew the carpet while screaming “Merrick Garland!! MERRICK GARLAAAAAND!!!!”

Well slap me in the face with a pork chop! We don’t consider the Schiff sham House impeachment fiasco legitimate either. So there!

Always accuse your opponent of what you are


It is a sub-conscious level of projection libtards do not understand. If you want to know how a person thinks just look back at what they accuse you of.


Most cannot see inside that box.

Why would they? They haven’t accepted the 2016 Presidential Election as legitimate. There’s no reason to expect they’re accept the 2020 Election either.

Trump played by the rules and won in 2016 in the Electoral College. Rules that were two centuries old. They didn't accept those results either.

Playing by the rules is not really big in the list of Democrat values.

Names please!

Vote these detractors out of office in 2020. America does not need more deceitful salaried employees to burden the taxpayers.
