Impeachment dam breaking as Pelosi deputies tip hand: ‘We’ve already begun’
Fox News ^ | June 3, 2019 | Alex Pappas

While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is urging caution and patience in response to those in her party clamoring for impeachment proceedings against President Trump, her top deputies are signaling it’s only a matter of time before they begin.

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-highest-ranking Democrat in the House, said in an interview Sunday that he believes impeachment proceedings ultimately will be launched against Trump at some point in the future. He suggested Democrats are already laying the groundwork in Congress.

“I think we’ve already begun,” Clyburn said on CNN's "State of the Union." “We’ve got all of these committees doing their work, we’re having hearings.”

during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President’s attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THAT THEY WANT.

It's not going to work that way. It's not a real trial in a judicial sense. The Senators will still act as Senators and vote on everything prior to it being allowed.

Read this website's description of the Clinton impeachment and trial to see how the Senate behaved during the trial portion, and then see if President Trump would have free reign to call witnesses.

“It’s the same mushy words they always used. Clickbait headline.”

agreed. nothing new. it’s all just Dem Sturm and Drang, smoke and mirrors ...

the House isn’t gonna impeach: it’s guaranteed to fail in the Senate, assuming the House Dems don’t completely fracture on the issue in the first place and fail to impeach

And if the House Dems don’t fracture, they’re pretty much guaranteed to lose the House, the Senate and the Presidency in 2020, and the Dem leaders know all of that, even if the moonbat branch of the party doesn’t

And if the Dem House DOES fracture, that pretty much destroys the Dem party too ... either way, the Dems lose bigly if they attempt impeachment, and the Dem elders know that ...

Yes, Democrats. Please hasten blindly to the reckoning that We the People have prepared for you. Before the tide of our rage ebbs, every lightpost in DC will be decorated with you treasonous sonsabitches.

Spygate leads back to the former mafia-connected ruling regime in Italy doing the bidding of Hillary Clinton where it was planned that a hack would be made of Trump campaign servers to plant Hillary’s classified emails with a falsehood that the emails were obtained from Russian intermediaries (Mifsud, not his real name and not a Russian agent). The plan was to follow with charges against the Trump Campaign and Trump himself of treason thereby forcing him to step down.

The emails to be planted came from Obama’s White House executive suites meaning Obama himself. Obama knew and was involved. Several motivations were evident with a major factor to ward off scrapping the Iran Deal which involves countless billions in payouts to Western players one of which is Italy.

All the above is coming out and ties to impeachment talk. The plan above failed and the coup plotters know they will be exposed. Impeachment is planned as a counternarrative to the unleashing of the failed coup.

The coup plotters have nothing left except to sow confusion in the hope of giving the progressive and Democrat political base a plausible narrative to hold on to as the truth is revealed.

They are waiting for the proper news cycle. The “I” word will be used by the DNCMSM to steer the news away from thier own corruption.

So let me queue this up for you, Nancy.

"Let me assure my constituents that we have never worked on anything harder than we have with building an impeachment case against Mister Trump, but unfortunately, there was too much hearsay and too many unknowns for us to bring forward the iron-clad case we said we would deliver. Unfortunately, due to inadequate evidence to deliver a clear conviction, the Democratic Leadership Caucus has decided to table further discussion of impeachment proceedings at this time."

...Just remember Chief Justice Roberts will be the Justice presiding over the trial and they obviously have some dirt on him...

Roberts must be sweating bullets right now.

When the RATs were in power he could be reasonable confident that the dirt would remain hidden if he danced to their tune.

The dirt is probably still there, but with conservatives in power we can also find it.

Now, one side or the other is going to release it

The double down, we were not wrong strategy. Most people stop using that strategy when they become adults. Oh well. Two steps backward, before they can step forward. Time to stock up on popcorn.

But yeah, they used mushy fuzzy words. Could go either way. My guess is money will drive it. Big ratings for the networks. Network exec’s probably already looking for new houses lol.

That guy Tom Steyer HUGE purse strings for Dems probably threatened to cut them off if no impeachment this BASTARD has been doing TV commercials begging for impeachment!! I am worried during Clinton impeachment there were not nearly as many college indoctrinated citizens people could still actually have a great job and support a family without college!! The government has pushed this whole college BS because they KNEW liberals infiltrating the university system was complete and it would be there minds could become completely brainwashed!!! SO I amVERY WORRIED that if Trump is impeached it will turn out as it did for Clinton!! The country is far different NOW than it was then!!!

Correct.

Dems still have an insurmountable problem: they know Trump is at 45-50% approval (really closer to 55%) and cannot find a way to impeach him that doesn’t crush their party in 2020.

Those bastards MUST impeach or else they will all be swinging from the same gallows.
I say, “bring it on!”
We are at a constitutional crisis point and must prevail or there will be a CW II.
Keep your powder dry.

Clyburn. I seem to remember this lawn jockey for Nancy Pelosi from somewhere...

If hypocrisy was a hanging offense, Jimmie would be up on a tree already...
