"Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton announced his retirement Tuesday from the House floor making him the fourth Republican who voted in favor of President Donald Trump’s impeachment to do so."

US Attorney and legal scholar Alan Dershowitz joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning to discuss Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Party’s latest plans to impeach President Trump before the inauguration ceremonies next week. According to Alan Dershowitz Democrats have zero chance of impeaching President Trump this week or after he leaves office. Alan Dershowitz: “The case cannot come to trial in the Senate. Because the Senate has rules and the rules would not allow the case to come to trial until, according to the majority leader, until 1 PM on January 20th an hour after President Trump...

Today the republican majority is not judging the President Clinton with fairness, but impeaching him with the vengeance. In the investigation of the President, fundamental principles which Americans hold dear, privacy, fairness, checks and balances have been seriously violated. And why? As we are here today, because the republicans in the House [of Representatives] are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton. And until the republicans free themselves of this hatred our country will suffer. I rise to oppose these unfair motions, which call for removal of the President of the United States from office, and in doing so wish to...

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) revealed Saturday he has drafted motions to subpoena former Vice President Joe Biden, his youngest son Hunter Biden, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), and the so-called “whistleblower.” Hawley will attempt to force a vote on the subpoenas if the Senate approves additional witnesses and documents as part of the upper chamber’s trial. The Missouri Republican’s pledge mirrors one made by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who earlier this month threatened to force a vote on subpoenaing Hunter Biden and the so-called “whistleblower” if Republicans grant the Democrats’ demand for more witnesses. Hawley’s motion is likely...

Today, Obie came cutting through all the weeds, all the lies, taking patriots back to where the Dems’ announced “official articles of Impeachment” began—with Obama’s Fundamental Transformation of America What was witnessed yesterday in the Democrat Party’s delivery of the Impeachment Articles against President Donald Trump, alleging “Abuse of Power” and “Congressional Obstruction” based on his alleged interactions with Ukraine, was no less than Barack Hussein Obama’s Fundamental Transformation of America made manifest. To me, the release of Cuban exile Oswaldo Usategui (Obie’s) first YouTube called ‘Communism 101’, one day later is nothing less than providential.

The insanity going on before our very eyes regarding the Democrats' and fake news medias' latest campaign to impeach Trump over nonsense is infuriating millions of Americans. It is the equivalent of Adam Schiff flooding the airwaves with the lie that Trump stole his car and must be impeached for it. Meanwhile, Schiff's car is parked untouched in his driveway for all the world to see. Ignoring the truth that Schiff's car was not stolen, the Democrats and fake news media cart out a dozen witnesses (whistleblowers) who claim they saw Trump commit the crime. This is exactly what is...

This is a good read. I have friends who are beside themselves with glee, thinking the President will be impeached. They should read this. They might want to rethink the options. LET THEM GO AHEAD AND IMPEACH TRUMP.... HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS THEN...... By: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science) I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying Libertarian. I've been studying politics and political history for the past 30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House of Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next! 1. The...

<p>Contrary to suggestions by some, most Trump supporters are not automatons or blind supporters. What bothers them, and should bother others, about the latest Ukraine hysterias is the familiar monotony of this latest scripted psychodrama.</p> <p>The whistleblower admits to hearsay (“I was not a direct witness to most of the events described”). His term-paper report is laden with anonymously sourced rumors, e.g., “According to multiple White House officials I spoke with,” “I was told by White House officials,” “Based on my understanding,” “I learned from multiple officials,” “I do not know whether similar measures were taken,” “I do not know whether those officials spoke with or met with . . . ”</p>

<p>Scott said at a news conference that he wasn’t surprised by the allegations that Trump repeatedly urged Ukraine’s president to “look into” Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden because he’s “watched him over the years.” Trump had requested Ukraine look into Biden's attempt to pressure the nation into firing its top prosecutor, who was investigating a natural gas firm partially led by his son, Hunter.</p>

A former CIA officer and self-proclaimed Democrat compared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump to the Titanic hitting "a giant iceberg in 2020.”Speaking with “Tucker Carlson Tonight," Bryan Dean Wright, who is a lifelong Democrat, was asked by s host Tucker Carlson if Pelosi's decision was “wise idea.”No, it’s not, Tucker,” said Wright.

Prominent GOP consultant Mike Murphy claimed on Wednesday that he was told by a Republican senator that the majority of Republican senators "would vote to impeach" President Donald Trump if they could do so anonymously. "These Senate Republicans, should the Democrats vote impeachment, which is far more likely than not, are going to be pinned down to a yes/no answer," Murphy, who previously advised Republican politicians including Mitt Romney, John McCain and Jeb Bush, said in an interview with MSNBC. "The politics of it will get worse and worse for Trump," the Republican political consultant, who has long been critical...

During a speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that the release of the transcript of one of President Trump’s calls with Ukraine “will not assuage our concerns or the public’s concerns. Based on early reports, it may heighten them.” Schumer said, “The release of the transcript of one of President Trump’s calls with President Zelensky, which just came out, will not assuage our concerns or the public’s concerns. Based on early reports, it may heighten them. We must remember the president was reported to have several calls with President Zelensky over the...

On Tuesday evening Nancy Pelosi made one of the most colossal blunders in the modern history of American electoral politics. Rejecting the accumulated wisdom of a long and successful career in the House of Representatives, she set aside her own instincts and announced the beginning of formal impeachment proceedings against President Trump on the basis of a third-hand rumor about a phone call with the president of a Eurasian republic. Pelosi knows this will not be popular. She knows more than that. She knows that it will be a disaster for the Democratic Party, that it will inflame the president's...

Wall Street warns clients that the House Democrat impeachment inquiry into President Trump will snare trade policy in the months to come. The announcement from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday threatens ratification of the USMCA and poses a risk to U.S.-China trade talks. “Legislating is dead. As we previously said, impeachment will lead to Congress doing nothing,” Raymond James analysts wrote.

Pelosi admits Earlier Today Everything They’re Doing Is Attempt to Stop Trump from Being Elected!!   Pelosi demanded the ‘whistleblower statement’ be given to Congress and accused the acting DNI of violating the law by withholding the document. Nancy Pelosi asserted that Trump violated federal law by and said the House of Representatives will be ‘moving forward with an impeachment inquiry.’  Speaker Pelosi also called President Donald Trump a “domestic enemy.”But earlier today Pelosi spoke at the Atlantic Festival and let the cat out of the bag. Speaker Pelosi accidentally admitted to a liberal crowd that everything Democrats are doing...

For months, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned itchy Democrats against the perils of impeachment. She should have stuck to her guns. In surrendering to the radicals and the noisy drumbeat of their media handmaidens, Pelosi established a formal investigative process involving the top legislative committees. Yet she did something else, too, something far more monumental: She effectively committed House Dems to impeaching President Trump. Because of what she said and did, if the House doesn’t go all the way, it will be a political disaster. Either failing to take a vote on articles of impeachment, or failing to get enough...

President Barack Obama’s chief campaign strategist and senior adviser David Axelrod said that even if President Trump is impeached, it is not likely he will be convicted by the Senate and removed from office. Appearing on CNN Tuesday evening after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry, Axelrod, 64, tossed water on some lawmakers’ hopes that impeachment would successfully remove Trump from the White House.

Biden isn’t going to like this much. Some of the most tribal left insist what Biden did as vice president in Ukraine isn’t a story because The Washington Post told them so. But it is most definitely a story. It rips the scab off Joe. For all the breathlessness over Pelosi’s actions, I hope you know that what politicians say — even when wearing makeup on TV and surrounded by American flags — isn’t the whole story. What they don’t say is important too. And what Pelosi didn’t say was that she’d have the full House vote on the matter....

As House Democrats appear to be pushing forward with potential impeachment proceedings for President Donald Trump, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is challenging Republicans who would vote against it to “go on the record.” The congresswoman told reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that if the House of Representatives impeaches Trump and the matter goes to the Senate, she would want to “see every Republican go on the record and knowingly vote against impeachment of this president, knowing his corruption.” Ocasio-Cortez said any lawmakers who oppose impeachment should have the chance to put it to a formal vote “so that they...

House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced on Monday that his committee will vote this Thursday to officially formalize procedures to set up hearings to determine whether the Dem-controlled House will introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump. Nadler said in a statement on Monday that President Trump’s “crimes and corruption extend beyond what is detailed in the Mueller report.”
