Impeachment ain't happening. Look at the math
American Thinker ^ | 11/28/2019 | By Bill Schanefelt

Amidst the hue and cry and clutter surrounding the impeachment fiasco, one clear obstacle stands out: time.  There just isn't enough time -- as in Congressional working days -- on the calendar to get the job done before the caucus/primary business begins for the Democrats, and doing it after that business is over would be laughable.

Our friend, Sundance, at The Conservative Tree House has done the math for us.  Read the whole piece, but, in essence, the reality is that:

With only eight legislative days left in 2019; and considering the resolution as adopted; the calendar doesn’t match the democrat talking points....[or give time to] accomplish all the House tasks.

Via Conservative Tree House

He lays out how Chairman Adam Schiff 's Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which is probably drawing up a report over this holiday week, will, nevertheless, have insufficient time under the rules to allow members to review, vote on, and move the report and process onward soon.

That is, even if the haughty Chairman refuses to allow the minority to provide, and have votes on its input, the report must be quickly transmitted to the HJC (House Judiciary Committee) chaired by the bumbling and odious Representative Jerrold Nadler.  Then the HJC must do what it must before sending

Articles of Impeachment to the House Floor for another vote, no simple and speedy procedure that.

Readers might remember that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hastily prepared the complex resolution after Nadler botched earlier proceedings:

No, it’s not.

And other than to keep their foaming-at-the-mouth moonbat base off of the arses of their leaders, it achieves nothing.

The threat of impeachment was the sword they loved to wave around, but now that the battle’s here, they can’t figure out how to drop it and live.

They’re going to double up on voter fraud.

The threat of Impeachment. Meaning an Inquiry, Investigation, Articles, and up to a Trail in the Senate will be the ammo the Left will use to block the next Judge to replace RBG. That is what it is about as that seat will likely open up from what I have read about her condition in the next 6 months. They will try to block things till after Nov 2020 and cross their fingers their guy wins

Impeachment 2.0, in 2021, after they take control of the Senate next year and have the votes to remove him from office in the first year of his second term.

At least that’s how wannabe scriptwriter Adam Schitt fantasizes it will be.

Well, it should — in common core math.

After all, isn’t common core based on feelings rather than answers/results?

The problem is that Republicans currently hold 23 of the 35 Senate seats up for grab next year Democrats hold only 12, only half as many to defend. This gives them an obvious numerical advantage statistically. You can count on the Democrats, MSM and big tech, “social media” lobbing smears and false charges against every single one of them along with some who will be retiring. Every one of them will get the Judge Moore treatment. It seems more and more clear every day that President Trump will win the election, the real fight is going to be for the Senate.
