I stopped caring about Ken Starr when he refused to investigate the Vince Foster

The RATS and Repukes of the Deep State know this is all a farce, but it’s about muddying up the waters and putting the seed of doubt in enough voters minds to swing the election. They know they won’t drive Trump out of office, but by gashing him continuously this upcoming year they hope to have him in weakened political position next November. I have no doubt that 2020 will be one of the most momentous years in American history. The Deep State is firing all their ammo and hitting nothing. Trump has yet to launch a big punch on them!
Yep Wallace is. That is why I never watch him.
Wrong edie. ..
Trump is fighting. This is what a man does.

Wish the reports would be released.
In spite of Castor debunking Sondland’s opening statement at the end, i.e., Trump wanted no quid pro quo, Chris Wallace is sticking to the opening statement. What an idiot.
His dad’s name was Wallik before he changed it.
Leaving POTUS statement “I want nothing from Ukraine, I want no quid pro quo,” out of his opening statement shows bias. It’s exculpatory information.
Chris Wallace is a hardcore lefty, just like his insufferable old man. He hates Trump.
(Paraphrasing)
Sondland: “What do you want from Ukraine?”
POTUS: “I want nothing from Ukraine. I want nothing from Ukraine, I want no quid pro quo.”
That’s all he got from POTUS.
True. But...
What happens if the House doesn't hold the vote until next October as an "October Surprise?"
How is the Senate going to take up the articles of impeachment if they are in recess for the election? They won't stay in session in the last week of October or first week of November. They just won't.
So...
The election happens and then what?
If the October Surprise works and Trump loses, will the Senate still hold the trial in the lame-duck session? Keep in mind that we're now into the second week of November and the Senate won't come back until after Thanksgiving. They WON'T rush back ("no delay") to hold the trial. They will stay in recess until December.
Now we're into the last month of a lame-duck Trump. Does the Senate hold the trial in the last three weeks before the Christmas recess or just wait it out and let the articles of impeachment expire at the end of the Congress?
They would only rush to hold the trial if they wanted to convict a lame-duck Trump in order to impose the ban on holding future offices of trust, but Trump will be in his mid-70s and wouldn't run again anyway.
What happens if Trump wins in a landslide? Will the Senate rush back to hold the trial ("no delay") against a popular President who won despite the Democrats hoax of an impeachment hearing, or will they wait until after Thanksgiving for the lame-duck session of Congress? Again, in the lame-duck session, will they hold a trial to acquit the President who just won an election, or just let the articles of impeachment expire when the Senate adjourns sine die so nobody has to go on the record with a vote?
I'm just being practical here. They WON'T rush to a trial if it gets pushed into the lame-duck session after the November election. At that point, "let the people decide" will prevail.

CBS talking about how this guy bragged to people about his close contact with Trump.
Sondland said there was a QPQ for a WH meeting.
Coming back now...
Right. Think about this guy’s testimony. What did Trump tell you directly? “No linkage no quid pro quo! “ and what did you assume from that? “A quid pro quo “. How does that make sense?
Sondland is giving deliberately conflicting testimony. Giving the Dems the soundbites they want to get them off his back while also giving the GOP something to hang their hats on.
Starr seemed pretty reasonable until today. But now he’s gone off the rails with half baked statements Democrats are running with.
*** Trump hardly knows him ***
I guessing Pres.Trump knows of him and probably does know him enough tho not deep.
Sondland has been a big rat donor at the presidential and has had an active role at the presidential level level for years...
Sondlond’s type of job usually goes to donors.
Nunes asked who "S" was.
Sondland answered that "S" was Secretary Pompeo.
Indeed. That he would include one in his opening and not the other is suspect
Schiff is already spouting crap.
