Are Republicans Plotting to Impeach the President? Secret Meetings on Capitol Hill Could Signal Senate Trial ‘Trap’
By The Blaze. On the radio program Tuesday, Glenn Beck spoke with Douglas MacKinnon, a former White House and Pentagon official and author, about his recent article in The Hill, “Is a Trap Being Set for Trump in the Senate Trial?”
MacKinnon told Glenn that he has heard from several Capitol Hill staffers who say there are a lot of “meetings going on behind closed doors” between various Republican senators on Capitol Hill, many of whom are known to dislike President Donald Trump.
“The vast majority of these Republican senators, either privately or publicly, can’t stand President Trump for a lot of reasons,” MacKinnon explained. “The main reason, Glenn, is they can’t control him. They’ve never been able to control him. They can’t predict what he’s going to do … he is a disrupter.” (Read more from “Are Republicans Plotting to Impeach the President?

President Trump’s Letter to Nancy Pelosi Really Angered Her, and She Just Responded
By The Blaze. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) responded briefly to a scathing letter President Donald Trump sent deriding impeachment, and called it “ridiculous” and “sick.”
She made the comments to CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday after receiving the six-page missive.
“I don’t have a reaction. It’s ridiculous,” she said while hurriedly walking away. . .
“I’ve seen the essence of it though,” she concluded, “and it’s really sick.”
The letter from the president lambasted Pelosi and the Democrats for leading the charge to impeach him over charges related to a phone call he made with the president of Ukraine. (Read more from “President Trump’s Letter to Nancy Pelosi Really Angered Her, and She Just Responded” HERE)

Pelosi Says House May Withhold Impeachment Articles
By CNBC. After the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday began a game of chicken with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
In a press conference following the historic vote Wednesday night, Pelosi told reporters that she wanted to see how McConnell, R-Ky., would lay out the trial’s rules before she sent over the articles to the Senate.
“We can’t name managers until we see what the process is on the Senate side and I would hope that would be soon. So far, we haven’t seen anything that’s looks fair to us,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi’s stance was an apparent attempt to pressure McConnell, who will hold significant power once the impeachment proceedings are passed from the Democrat-led House to the GOP-controlled Senate.
McConnell did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. (Read more from “Pelosi Says House May Withhold Impeachment Articles, Delaying Senate Trial” HERE)
