GOP Leaders Say Quick  Dismissal of Impeachment In Senate Would Be a Mistake

Several key Republican senators have said, should Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump – which seems likely—come to the Senate for trial,  would be a mistake if dismissed. CNN is reporting that several “key Republicans” have told them that the Senate should conduct a full trial of President Trump, should it come to that, “and not try to jam through a motion that would allow them to dismiss the case quickly on a partisan vote.” For the same reason that they have forced the House investigation to now be conducted…

House Asks to Postpone Immunity Hearing

A key former White House staffer is refusing to testify in the ongoing Democrat impeachment probe. Charles Kupperman, the deputy to former National Security Advisor John Bolton, will not provide testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. A letter from Kupperman’s attorney said his client isn’t contesting a constitutional right to testimony, but rather it’s President Trump who’s asserting testimonial immunity to confidential advisors such as himself. The letter says if the committee’s position prevails in court then Kupperman will comply. He filed a lawsuit last week, asking the courts how…

What Did Giuliani Say During ‘Butt Call’ to Reporter?

In the popular vernacular it’s known as a “butt call” or “butt dial. It means when you inadvertently call someone by mistake from your cell phone. Most times they result in a simple “sorry,” and a hang-up, but other times they can lead to a major embarrassment. Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani seems to have recently suffered the latter. According to reports, in the calls that accidentally connected to an unintended party, Mr. Giuliani spoke about needing money and attacked Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. As you probably know,…

Dems Cave and Draft Resolution to Formalize Impeachment Inquiry

Apparently yielding to pressure from the GOP, House Democrats have introduced a resolution to formalize their impeachment inquiry and adopt rules to govern the proceedings. The resolution comes after sustained complaints by congressional Republicans and the White House that the inquiry hasn’t followed past precedent and violates the president’s due process rights. But, illustrating the balancing act involved as the 2020 election cycle gets started, Democrats have adamantly denied that the document is an “impeachment resolution,” perhaps out of concern for how that label would play in more moderate swing…

HORIST: The fuss about the “L” word

President Trump referred to the impeachment process as a “lynching.”  In colloquial usage, the word means that a person is being unfairly treated – outside the bounds of law and tradition.  We often call our adversaries in such a situation as a “lynch mob.” It is, of course, a rhetorical allusion – not a statement of literality.  It is a “catch phrase” that has been in common use for generations. In its current manifestation, it is also another example of how Trump hatred has distorted and reversed the norms of…

Pelosi: No one comes to Congress to impeach the President

Yes, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually said that – and the pro-impeachment press played her comment without rebuttal.  That let her blatant and obvious political lie stand.  That is what the elitist media do. But what about … ? California Congresswoman Maxine Waters calling for Trump’s impeachment BEFORE he was inaugurated.  She raised that desire during the transition period when the Democratic Party, the political left and most of the east coast liberal media were in a state of shock.  The knee-jerk mood on the left was to undo what…

Jim Jordan Pressures Dems for More Transparency In Impeachment Inquiry

After a cadre of House Republicans stormed a closed-door deposition in a secure area and managed to disrupt the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry for hours, House Oversight Committee ranking member Jim Jordan kept the pressure on Democrats by pushing for more transparency — including public testimony from the whistleblower at the center of the probe. In an initial letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff Jordan — joined by House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes and Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Michael McCaul — called for the whistleblower to…

How Impeachment Could Destroy GOP Majority in the Senate

It seems pretty much a given that Articles of Impeachment will be drafted against President Trump in the House. However, it is also just as likely that he will not be convicted and removed from office in the Republican dominated Senate. However, some political experts are predicting that while Trump will stay, the GOP majority in the Senate could be a victim of the fallout from an impeachment trial.  Democrats are targeting President Trump. What they may get instead is the Senate, and could this really be their plan all…

What do the impeachment polls tell us that the media will not?

If you follow the recent polls – and God knows why you would – they indicate that a slim majority – around 52 percent or so – favor impeaching President Trump.  Some polls even indicate that a majority of the American public favor removing him from office. That gives Democrats a rationale for moving ahead with their three-and-a-half-year campaign to undo the 2016 election.  It is now 99.9 percent certain that they will impeach the President.  They are claiming popular support. Since at least one or two Republicans in the…

Cowardly Romney Uses Fake Twitter Account to Harass Trump

For all of those who have been saying how “brave” it has been for Senator Mitt Romney to speak out against President Trump the way he has, meet “Pierre Delecto.” That is the name on a fictitious twitter account the Utah Senator created to anonymously criticize the president. Two journalists from different publications have pieced together enough clues to confirm that Senator Mitt Romney has a secret Twitter account — under the amusing and vaguely French “nom de plume,” Pierre Delecto. The former Republican presidential nominee created the account in…
