House impeachment managers say Trump, Senate permanently stained by trial
Fox News ^ | February 6 2020 | Tyler Olson

The House impeachment managers for President Trump's now-completed trial in the Senate penned an op-ed Thursday arguing that Trump and the GOP-controlled Senate will be permanently stained by what they argued was an unfair process, leading to "not guilty" verdicts on both articles of impeachment.

"By denying the American people a fair trial, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also deprived the president of something that he desperately sought — exoneration," the impeachment managers wrote in the Washington Post. "There can be no exoneration without a legitimate trial. Out of fear of what they would learn, the Senate refused to hold one. The president will not be vindicated, and neither will the Senate, certainly not by history."

The impeachment managers -- Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Val Demings, D-Fla., Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, and Jason Crow, D-Colo. -- base their argument on the Senate's decision not to call former National Security Adviser John Bolton as a witness in the trial.

Of course they would say that. It was Plan A since the beginning. Damage the GOP and hope to taint Trump along the way.

Well. If there a Subject Matter Experts on “STAINS” it is surely the Democrats.

They are the “skid marks” on the underwear worn by the US.

Why would anyone care what a bunch of lying, America hating pieces of garbage would say?

They have as much concept about what history will remember as Nancy Pelosi has about quantum mechanics.

“”Nothing supported this unprecedented prohibition on witnesses and documents, except the overriding interest of a president determined to hide any further incriminating information from the American people and a Senate majority leader in his thrall.””

These evil seditionists started out with nothing and came out with nothing but a recognition of their evil intent.

They never said anything like that about Clinton, only focusing on how outraged the people were and how great the economy was. Imagine. I was a newby here at Free Republic in 1998.

Once again the Democrats proclaim precisely what has happened to them as the results on PDJT, and the Senate. It’s actually projection on the part of the House Democrats. They are the ones wearing the coat of disgrace.

The Senate heard and decided the case on the evidence that was provided by the House....you know, the evidence that proved beyond all doubt that Trump was guilty.

The deranged Democrats in the House are the ones that are permanently stained but they are so tone deaf and detached from reality that they will never get it.

I disagree!! The Democratic House of Representatives led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Committee Chairmen Schiff and Nadler will go down in history as the first to attempt an illegal and unsubstantiated coup to overthrow the government of the US.

Not nearly as stained as Monica’s blue dress with Clinton suborning perjury, lying to a grand jury and being impeached for REAL crimes.
