Friday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) sounded off on the House sending over the article of impeachment citing President Donald Trump with inciting the riot at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.

Blumenthal said on “CNN Newsroom” that the evidence of Trump inciting the riot is “pretty open and shut” given his speech and tweets leading up to and following the chaos that ultimately left five dead and others injured. With House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) set to send over the article of impeachment on Monday, Blumenthal said the trial “can happen in days, not weeks.”

Trump incited the riot in pretty much the same way abused women incite their abusers. His very existence is an incitement to violent leftists like Antifa.

This issue is, however, bigger than Trump. Bluementhal knows perfectly well that Trump did not break any laws or ever encourage violence. But he wants to send a message to anyone who might ever think of challenging the sclerotic Washington power structure again. The message is, of course, that challengers will be destroyed. And so will their supporters.

“Blumenthal: Impeachment Trial ‘Can Happen in Days”

That way he doesn’t have time to mount a defense.

[Williams]

A tool.

[wildcard_redneck]

What he is saying is that this is a show trial with a predetermined outcome.

The Uniparty is now out in the open for all to see.

[Shady]

There was a caller on Rush’s show today who laid out PERFECTLY why Nanzi Pelousy should be the one impeached for sedition. She is spot on right about everything...

[silverleaf]

Connecticut ought to be shamed for electing this doofus.
WTH

[AndyJackson]

Stolen Valor weighs in.

[Parmy]

Question-—Is Trump a private citizen or is he still the President?

[Gene Eric]

He’s grotesque

[nevergore]

Did you know that he was a Vietnam veteran.........

No....neither did I......

Stolen Valor!!!

[airborne]

My first thought was of the Pink Floyd song - "The Trial".

The evidence before the court is

Incontravertable, there's no need for

The jury to retire

In all my years of judging

I have never heard before of

Someone more deserving of

The full penalty of law

Pelosi & Schumer then sing - "Tear Down The Wall"!

[rxsid]

"Question-—Is Trump a private citizen or is he still the President?"

And that's just it.

Under what authority can the Senate hold a trial and potentially convict a private citizen?

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Mr Stolen Valor himself.

[budj]

There is no basis in the Constitution for this. Roberts should send the leadership a letter that he will not be part of the foolishness.

Because Roberts is really full of integrity.

[doc maverick]

They are afraid of something big.
Otherwise, WHY would they care.
They’ve taken over and are now occupying the WhiteHut.
They are AFRAID the TRUTH of it all will come out and Trump will be President.

[PerConPat]

Those are the questions that cry out...And does the 14th Amdt. etc. apply? The “trial” will be a determining factor in the future or non-future of the GAP (Grand Addled Party). I can see the Supremes involved in this one.

[Don Corleone]

Evidence ‘Open and Shut’

Where have I heard that one before?

[Leep]

Constitution?
You’re kidding,right?

[MrChips]

Can we put Blumenthal on trial overseas Vietnam claims? Talk about open and shut!

[Mouton]

Maybe they can also vote on his lying about his military service. This guy is a real POS in a pool of turds.
