For the third time, Shciff is planting the “because he got caught” seed.
I feel sorry for him. This is going nowhere for him. History will not be kind to this man.
Republicans in the Senate will have their chance to defend POTUS.
Why jump in now w/o a coordinated defense? Let this play out and then talk.
He got caught saying "NO QUID PRO QUO".
This would be the DUMBEST move in the history of politics. I can't believe there are people who would actually WANT this outcome.
This would VALIDATE the charges of the democrats and they would say the GOP Senate is covering up for Trump.
You would squander a GOLDEN opportunity to:
1) TOTALLY screw up their primaries since every senator running for election would have to be in their seat 6 days a week and be gagged about talking about it (as a member of the Senate Jury - per the rules (Lindsey Graham) - at least through Iowa.
2) Call Adam Schiff and force him to plead the 5th about knowing the ID of the whistle blower
3) Subpeana the Bidens over Burisma - and force them into pleading the 5th
4) Expose Cloudstrike and the DNC for all the world to see - which leads to ->
5) FISA and the Russia Hoax and then you call all of them to testify and the take them all down
So - if McConnell did as you suggest - he actually is HURTING Trump. It is no different than a DA indicting you when you have SMOKING GUN evidence of your innocence and half the town thinks you are guilty - and you never get a chance to prove it - but you know if you get a chance - you can show how crooked the DA is and take them all down.
A quick dismissal is the worst outcome of all.
Pathetic little schitt, isn’t he.
Democrats got nothing out of the hearings...
But they got BIG HEADLINES in the media..
It is getting Trumps poll numbers down..
Comparing someone to Teddy Roosevelt is not a compliment.
Ok.
I will try as you say..Will get back.
When McConnell held up the Supreme Court nomination, the left was pretty ticked off, and I don’t think they have ever gotten over it. They certainly took it out on Kavanaugh pretty good. I just can’t see McConnell brushing it off. Still, I don’t think a trial hurts Trump. Consider that their hand-picked witnesses aren’t able to establish any sort of a case against the president. Given a chance to fight back, this time calling the shots, a Senate trial would do more harm to the Democrats.
Which is the sole purpose of the circus.
If done properly.
the poll numbers have gone up
Even stupid Drudge not showing all the facts...he’s so lazy
Disagree!
If McConnell allows it to happen he will be gone as well as the Republican party. He knows that. If 20% to half the GOP does not show up to vote for the next 2 election cycles. Republican congressional officeholders will be as rare as hen’s teeth, That is there would be very few Republicans in Congress. Its not just Congress that will include statehouses. Their not that loved to withstand 20% loos in voters and they know that!
mcconnell and schumer will get together and map out the rules and what witnesses can be called, then the full senate will vote on these ruled. Trump will be constrained by the rules and witness list. I do not believe mcconnell is going to give Trump a free hand to investigate anything he wants. mcconnell would love for Trump to be removed, but there is that pesky election comming-up. That is Trump’s only advantage here, the election.
“Drudge jumped the shark. He is dead to me.”
What took you so long?
Rasmussan has Trump’s favorability up.
Are there ducks in the chamber?
