RUSH: Here is Mitch McConnell. I mentioned he had a great line about the accusation from Pelosi that shes the one that has all the leverage now because shes refusing to send the articles over to the Senate. This is last night on the Senate floor, two sound bites from the Turtle. Heres the first one
MCCONNELL: We remain at an impasse because my friend, the Democratic leader, continues to demand a new and different set of rules for President Trump. My colleague wants a special pretrial guarantee of certain witnesses whom the House Democrats themselves did not bother to pursue as they assemble their case.
RUSH: Im here to tell you, she has Well, I say, She has no right. She can demand all she wants. She has nothing to say about what happens in the Senate. Constitutionally, shes got nothing to say. But you see, the Constitutions limits dont stop her. Theyre not stopping her. Theyre talking about respect for the rule of law, respect for constitutional duty, constitutional limitations.
They dont have any. She is attempting to bully and use brute force with the rest of the Democrat Party to force the Turtle into conducting a further investigation with witnesses that she didnt even bother to call. She didnt bother to call them because the president wasnt gonna let them come up and testify. He went to court to stop it. They want to impeach him for that, calling it obstruction of Congress.
So now she wants the Turtle to call these witnesses so the investigation can go on. The Turtle said, We dont investigate here. You do that! You bring us the case, and well either dismiss it or well sit in judgment of it, whatever. But you dont get to tell us what to do. Were the jury. The jury doesnt do investigations. Heres sound bite number 2 from the Turtle. This is the one that has at great line in it.
MCCONNELL: House Democrats imply they are withholding the articles for some kind of leverage so they can dictate the Senate process to senators. I admit Im not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want. Meanwhile, other House Democrats seem to be suggesting theyd prefer never to transmit the articles. Fine with me.
RUSH: (laughing) This is great. The Turtles on fire, for the Turtle. Im not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want. (laughing) We dont want your stinking articles. We dont want anything to do with this because its not legitimate. Meanwhile, other Democrats seem to be suggesting they prefer never to transmit the articles. And there are some of those.
And, folks, it all boils down to I dont know if there is anybody sane. The reasonable members of the left know that this is gonna lead to an acquittal which is the absolute last thing that they want. In an election year, for it to be recorded as a matter of constitutional congressional law that the president was found not guilty. Doesnt matter, Rush. Theyd still be able to say he was impeached. Nah. Im telling you, the reason shes not sending these articles over there is because she knows she doesnt have a case.
Now, I just saw on CNN a Pencil Neck kind of guy named Brad Sherman. Hes also from California. Have you noticed, by the way, speaking of elitism and all, whenever the Democrat leadership gathers on TV, like when Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and all the people on these committees gathered, do you know what? Theyre all from either California or New York. None of them are from the middle of the country. Theyre all California, New York. Theyre all radical, coastal elites. The House leadership. And yet they tell us that their party is the home of diversity.
If the top 25 Dimocrats added all their IQ’s together they couldn’t get into MIT.
I think Mitch has the right position on this, but he’ll have to cave to Schumer. Over the Christmas break, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Burr and some others will flip to the democrats wishes and will force Mitch to accept Pelosi and Schumer’s demands.
The Democrats that won in Trump districts who voted for impeachment can thank Nanzi for
forcing them to walk the plank and plunging them into the political abyss for early termination.
It took Nanzis Bigtime Bribery to get their votes for impeachment.......
<><> Nanzi $$PAC promised them millions in campaign ads,
<><> basking in the spotlight knowing they took down a president;
<><> promised soaring approval numbers for voting her way;
<><> accompanying Nanzi on her tax-paid royal excursions around the world.
REALITY CHECK The numbers dont look good for the freshmen....
support for impeachment is dwindling while Trumps approval numbers increase.
