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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

As we recently reported, Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, walked back her announcement that the Justice Department inspector general’s report on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses would be released as early as Friday, October 18. Bartiromo has now gone on record saying that the long anticipated IGs report will likely not be out until “the end of the month.” However, those goalposts seem to be moving again. As Fox News is reporting, “As soon as Horowitz is done with his review of the FISA warrant application, the counterintelligence investigation,…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recapped Wednesday’s tumultuous White House showdown with President Trump over Syria, saying she told him his troop pullout was a gift to Vladimir Putin, and questioned him about helping Saudi Arabia, before Trump had what she called “a meltdown.” However, according to President Trump and others in the meeting, it was “Nervous Nancy” who had the “meltdown.” After Pelosi walked out on the meeting, the president took to Twitter, responding to the latest Democrat attacks questioning his mental health and saying that it was he who…

As reported by the Associated Press and other news outlets, Maryland Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, died Thursday of complications from longstanding health problems. He was 68 years old. Cummings was a sharecropper’s son who rose to become a civil rights champion and the powerful chairman of one of the U.S. House committees leading an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. As chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Cummings often found himself at odds with President Trump. Cummings led investigations of the president’s governmental dealings, including probes in 2019…
