Ken Starr: GOP Senators Might Consider Having to ‘Make a Trip’ to the White House [tr]
Daily Beast ^ | November 20, 2019 | Justin Baragona

Moments before Wednesday’s impeachment hearings and right after U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland’s opening statement was released, Fox News contributor Ken Starr wondered aloud whether Sondland flipping on President Trump would cause GOP senators to push Trump to resign. “The real issue is the senators are watching,” Starr said. “Are senators going to now say in light of what we hear today, it’s going to be a long day even with the ambassador alone, in light of what we have heard, ‘We need to make a trip down to the White House’? That historic example set during the Nixon presidency. From what I’ve been able to glean I don’t think that’s going to happen. But obviously what happens today could—has the potential to be a game-changer.

Total nonsense.

He later testified Trump specifically told him (Sondland) there was “no quid pro quo” and he used those words.

It was a Dem scripted opening statement to get these fake headlines because this hearing is imploding on Dems.

Now they have a stooge saying something like this as part of the plan.

Total fakeout.

Support for impeachment is down TEN POINTS in a week among independents.

We now move into the boomerang angry phase when voters punish Dems for thie stupid sham.

We all know it would be Willard who would lead the party up Penn Avenue to the White House. If that happens, I am done voting period. Let the Left take over and burn this country to the ground.


Ditto.

Funny how the Dems always stick together, but the Republicans always turn on each other. Eh?

Ken Starr is the man who whitewashed the murder of Vince Foster and overlooked other Clinton crimes to focus on a narrow charge of lying under oath, the same type of process crime that was used to nail Flynn, Stone, et. al. He is just another Deep State minion

That is such a ridiculous comment, FOX obviously offered him some perk to soften his stance on these hearings. The bottom line is, this investigation is so flawed it should be criminal. There is no way this could stand the scrutiny of a trial in the senate where Schiff can’t control the testimony.

I hope when the time comes that republicans attempt to get Trump to resign he tells them to go back and remove him.

Why do people keep saying there’s no crime? There doesn’t have to be a crime. There just has to be enough votes to impeach and send it to the Senate.

The question is who the hell cares if you trust them or not? The idiot GOP voters put them there.

Lack of trust just because isnt going to replace them with new senators either, not that remotely buy that 20 of those retards would ever side with this nonsense.

So you either go with what you have, and what they have stated publicly, or you just quit now, and give them the cover you would have to assume they want more.

Let them make their trip to the White House.

Trump will just tell them “eff you!” and sweep to victory in the election.

I saw a few minutes of Britt Fumes last night. What a dick. He called President Trump “Sir Tweetsalot”.

Fox is unwatchable anymore.

Starr says this hours before His Majesty, Mr. Schiff has allowed a single question from a Republican committee member or their atty.

I wonder who has the pics of Starr being boinked by a jackass.
