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.

The words of Howard Beale ring more true than ever today....

“Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn’t come out of this tube. This tube is the Gospel. The ultimate revelation! This tube can make or break Presidents, Popes, Prime Ministers. This tube is the most awesome, god-damn force in the whole godless world. And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people.”

If this blatant, seditious coup d’etat manages somehow to succeed, the rule of law in this nation* is dead, all bets are off, and things are very liable to get very ugly.

*(as opposed to the slimmest of hanging on it’s doing now)

President Trump should fire all those high-ranking military a**holes promoted by Obama and re-instate the genuine military patriots who were fired by Obama.

Every tweet from the president is a reminder that our news media is no longer relevant to our elected republic in the modern social media era.

Like being a buggy whip maker next to the Ford car plant in 1930.

Love the big headline....
Of course, under that:

“From what I’ve been able to glean I don’t think that’s going to happen..........””

Oh no, they didn’t miss Sondland’s words at all. They’re spinning it because they know most Americans wouldn’t pick up on the fact Sondland was giving his opinion based on assumption and not on fact. The MSM knows what they’re doing. They put out the sensational headline that Sondland “turned” on Trump and sadly we know millions of people will buy it.

“We should be putting Tremendous pressure on the Rs in the senate.”

I called 2 yesterday. Call their local offices and then you will get a staffer on the phone and tell them you supported them or whatever and that you expect them to support the President and to vocally decry the secret depositions and testimonies and non-disclosure of the whistleblower.

Ken Starr the man who covered up the Clinton/Gore ‘bags of cash’ Chinese corruption scandal with Loral Corporation (Bernie Schwartz) and instead offered up a limp wristed impeachment joke about about sex instead,

Who would Ken suggest be sent over with CNN MSNBC ABC CBS twitter livestreaming the convoy of black SUVs leaving the Capitol on its way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave,

Perhaps staunch ally and defender of President Trump Lindsey Graham will go ‘with a heavy heart’ along with Mitch McConnell or maybe conservative GOP leader Mitt Romney with Justice Roberts in tow,

“Let the Left take over and burn this country to the ground.”

I don’t think anyone would want you as a fighting comrade in a shooting war.

Yes- I would never Trust Starr after what he did with Vince Foster.

“It would be the death of the GOP.”

Yep, sure would. The death of the nation is of no importance at all.

He’s filling dead air with words of his former impeachment relevance. It’s all he’s got to command a paying gig from a news network fading into oblivion.

That’s how far Trump will be willing to go. And he will win

I don't think Sondland's testimony changes anything. He never takes notes, makes up stuff....I don't know how many times he said "That was my presumption" today....

Just trying to walk away unscathed....without anyone knowing he was a crappy ambassador....or whatever he was.
