Liberal Media are Fearing Democrats Might Have Blown Up Their Impeachment Circus (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

I mean this is just great, but it’s also a tad disturbing. The media is so desperate to boot Trump and they’re making it known that they think Democrats might have blown their chances at doing it successfully. I don’t get why; there was no way 67 senators were going to remove Trump. And now that the formal articles have been released, there’s no way. Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. What weak sauce nonsense is that? And this is on top of the fact that this impeachment push has trashed Democrats in the polls. Not a single top-tier 2020 Democrat is beating Trump in key swing states. In fact, impeachment was never popular in these states, especially in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. No one is watching this garbage. No one cares.

And this has triggered the liberal media. From hosts saying that this impeachment moment reminds them of how O.J. Simpson allegedly got away with murder to saying that Trump had brought the nation to the edge of destruction, the feeling that the moment to impeach this man has passed them by is palpable.

Democrats Filing Two Articles of Impeachment Against Trump; Here’s What’s in the Long-Awaited Inspector General’s Report on FISA Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. House Democrats are expected to reveal two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday that will be voted on later this month, thus cementing their attempts to remove him from office.

The two articles of impeachment will focus on “abuse of power” and “obstructing Congress,” The Washington Post reported.

During Democrats’ impeachment hearings last week on the House Judiciary Committee, liberal Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz noted that the idea that a president could be impeached for “abuse of power” was an absurd notion. . .

Noticeably absent from The Post’s report on what Democrats will introduce articles of impeachment on was “bribery,” which is what their entire impeachment effort has centered around as they have claimed that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call.

CNN reported that Democrats were debating adding a third article of impeachment for “obstruction of justice.” (Read more from “Democrats Filing Two Articles of Impeachment Against Trump” HERE)

Trump Will Be Impeached, but Will Get Reelected Because of It, Oliver North Says

By Fox News. Retired Lt Col. Oliver North revealed his 2020 predictions on Monday as Democrats move forward with the process to draft articles of impeachment against President Trump.

“Here’s my prediction: Number one, the president is going to be impeached,” North said. “Number two, the Senate will not convict him. Number three, he will be reelected in large part because of what they’re doing today, and what they’re about to do with the articles of impeachment. And, number four — it means the Republicans will recapture the U.S. House of Representatives,” North said.

On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing for committee lawyers to present evidence in the impeachment case against Trump after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week called on lawmakers to proceed with drafting articles of impeachment.

On Fox Nation’s “Deep Dive,” North said Trump’s impeachment was inevitable, though the Republican majority in the Senate would ensure he’d remain in office for the remainder of his term. North also said impeachment will lead fed-up Americans to reelect Trump in 2020.

“They have made a terrible mistake,” he said, warning Democrats that their continued impeachment efforts would have significant ramifications. (Read more from “Trump Will Be Impeached, but Will Get Reelected Because of It, Oliver North Says” HERE)

IG Report Notes Serious Problems in FISA Warrant Process — but No Evidence of ‘Political Bias’ — in Origins of FBI Trump-Russia Probe

By The Blaze. After months of anticipation, the Department of Justice Inspector General’s office released its report on its investigation into the origin of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016.

In short, the 476-page document report says that Horowitz’s team did not find evidence of political bias in the decision to open investigations into the Trump campaign, but did find some serious problems with how FBI personnel went about obtaining warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, also known as FISA, in the process of conducting the investigation. . .

U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting his own investigation into the origins of the FBI investigation, responded to the release of the report with a statement that took issue with Horowitz’s conclusions.

“Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S,” Durham said. “Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

After the report’s release, House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said after the release that “there are many lingering questions” and called on Democratic House leaders to “convene hearings with Inspector General Horowitz as soon as possible.” (Read more from “IG Report Notes Serious Problems in FISA Warrant Process — but No Evidence of ‘Political Bias’ — in Origins of FBI Trump-Russia Probe” HERE)

The Next Democrat President Must Be Impeached

/0 Comments/in , , /by

I am of the opinion that the next Democrat president must be impeached.

That’s the only way to stop this.

If the Republicans control the House, they must impeach the next Democrat President to ensure this sort of thing is never repeated.

The next Democrat President must be impeached? What are grounds? It doesn’t matter.

With Trump, they were talking impeachment when he was a candidate. They were talking impeachment the day he got elected. I told you, this is all sham. It’s a scam. It’s a ruse.

The only way to stop them is to turn the political and impeachment guns on them.

The next Democrat president must be impeached.

The Republican Congress can take a page from Nadler, from Waters, from Engel, from Schiff and all the rest.

They should issue scores and scores of subpoenas. Scores of subpoenas, for financial information, for bank records, for tax information; all kinds of communications with, around and about the president; issue subpoenas for the president’s White House Counsel, Chief of Staff, National Security Adviser, and other people who are closest to the president so he ceases to function.

You want to burden this Democrat president as much as possible. You want to undermine him as much as possible.

And you can wave around the Pelosi doctrine, the Schiff doctrine, the Nadler doctrine, and all the rest of them. Use their rules and take him down.

Do the Republicans have the guts to do so? I doubt it, but they must.

It is the only way to fix the Constitutional order when it comes to impeachment, because the Democrats are creating this precedent.

Now let them eat it.

Joe Biden would be the perfect Democrat president to be impeached.

Start subpoenaing all of his records; all of his phone calls with Ukraine, all of his phone calls with Red China.

You bring Hunter Biden in for 30 hours of secret testimony, like they brought Don Jr. in.

You create a special counsel, the way they created a special counsel against President Trump.

You demand Joe Biden testify in person and, when he refuses, you claim he has something to hide.

Imagine using their tools and their rhetoric against their guy. Or gal, it could be Elizabeth Warren, another liar. She’s another one with interesting finances. Well, we want to get to the bottom of it.

The next Democrat president must be impeached.

And Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Nadler and the others; CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, ABC and the others; they have all laid the foundation.

And the only way to stop this is to destroy their foundation with their guy or their lady.

WATCH: President Trump Tells Large Crowd That Jesus Christ Is the True Meaning of Christmas

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday night, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump told a large crowd gathered in Washington, D.C., for the lighting of the National Christmas Tree that the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ is the true meaning of the holiday season.

“In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge lit the first National Christmas tree,” Trump said, according to a transcript of his remarks shared by LifeSiteNews. “Later that night, African-American community centers held an outdoor worship service on these grounds, and during that service the Washington Monument was illuminated with a beautiful cross, a powerful reminder of the meaning of Christmas.”

As the president noted, the tradition of lighting a national Christmas tree began in 1923 when President Calvin Coolidge lit a 48-foot fir tree as a quartet from the U.S. Marine Band performed, according to the official ceremony’s website. This year’s 30-foot evergreen tree is located in the northeast quadrant of The Ellipse near the White House and decorated 450 white star ornaments and over 50,000 lights. . .

In his remarks, Trump also recognized the efforts of volunteers and military service members who serve American families during the Christmas season and highlighted the work of the Salvation Army. “Each year through their Angel Tree program, the Salvation Army brings new gifts to more than 600,000 children,” he noted before concluding the ceremony.

Trump added: “At Christmas we remember this eternal truth: Every person is a beloved child of God. As one grateful nation we praise the joy of family, the blessings of freedom, and the miracle of Christmas.” (Read more from “VIDEO: President Trump Tells Large Crowd That Jesus Christ Is the True Meaning of Christmas” HERE)

Democratic Lawmaker: ‘I Am Struggling’ to See a Case for Impeachment; Trump Declines to Take Part in ‘Baseless’ House Impeachment Inquiry; Trump Rips CNN Report About Device He Uses for Official Calls

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Several moderate Democratic House representatives are balking at impeaching President Trump as they worry doing so will have severe political consequences.

One anonymous member said he is “struggling” to see the case for impeachment and expressed concern that all of the information being used to draft articles of impeachment is “secondhand,” according to CNN.

The anonymous admissions from Democratic lawmakers comes nearly two weeks after Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan told a local radio host she favors censure over impeachment. Lawrence walked back that statement after it hit national news, and she pledged to support impeachment.

“I would say, ‘Look, I am concerned about not knowing what the articles will have in them. I am concerned about the timeline of this whole impeachment process,'” one Democratic lawmaker said. “For me, right now, I am struggling to see how the evidence supports impeachment at this point.” (Read more from “Democratic Lawmaker: ‘I Am Struggling’ to See a Case for Impeachment” HERE)

Trump Declines to Take Part in ‘Baseless’ House Impeachment Inquiry

By NPR. President Trump has decided to stay out of the impeachment inquiry being conducted by the House of Representatives.

White House counsel Pat Cipollone rejected an offer from House Democrats that would have allowed the president to send counsel to represent him at future impeachment hearings.

In a short two-paragraph letter to Democrats, Cipollone said the impeachment inquiry is “completely baseless and has violated basic principles of due process and fundamental fairness.”

“House Democrats have wasted enough of America’s time with this charade,” Cipollone said. “You should end this inquiry now and not waste even more time with additional hearings.” (Read more from “Trump Declines to Take Part in ‘Baseless’ House Impeachment Inquiry” HERE)

Trump Rips ‘Fake News’ CNN, Demands Retraction over Report He Still Uses Personal Cellphone

By Fox News. President Trump went after CNN on Friday night after the anti-Trump network reported that he still uses a personal cellphone, which he insisted is “totally false.”

CNN reported on-air during “Out Front with Erin Burnett” that “multiple officials” from the Trump administration have told the network that the president continues to use his personal device to make phone calls “despite repeated warnings” by his staff and that he “doesn’t care.”

White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins told CNN anchor Erin Burnett that Trump had been repeatedly warned that his calls could be vulnerable to “foreign surveillance,” which had been a concern of the staff “since he took office” and how the ongoing impeachment inquiry has “revived” such concerns.

Moments later, the president took to Twitter and blasted the report.

The Supreme Court Temporarily Blocked Trump’s Bid to Restart Federal Executions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court dealt a temporary setback Friday to the Trump administration’s bid to revive the death penalty after a 17-year hiatus, refusing the government’s request to clear the way for four federal executions a lower court judge put on hold.

The high court did not disclose the vote count or its reasoning, as is typical of orders of this nature. However, the justices did instruct the lower courts to speedily process the dispute.

“We expect that the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch,” Friday’s order reads. Justice Samuel Alito put a finer point on that directive in a statement accompanying the decision, which Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh joined.

“The Court has expressed the hope that the Court of Appeals will proceed with ‘appropriate dispatch,’ and I see no reason why the Court of Appeals should not be able to decide this case, one way or the other, within the next 60 days,” Alito’s opinion reads. “The question, though important, is straightforward and has already been very ably briefed in considerable detail by both the Solicitor General and by the prisoners’ 17-attorney legal team.”

The Trump administration resumed executions after a near-20 year reprieve in July. Attorney General William Barr directed the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to use a single-drug pentobarbital lethal injection protocol for capital punishment, which was at issue in the case before the high court.

WATCH: Dem Rep. Says They’ll Never Stop Trying to Impeach Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green said Thursday that House Democrats could impeach President Donald Trump multiple times.

Green said in a C-SPAN interview that a “president can be impeached more than once” and that there is “no limit” to the number of times the House can vote on impeachment.

“I think that the Mueller report has some issues in it that ought to be considered. I think the obstruction of the Comey investigation has issues that should be considered, and I think the invidious discrimination that I have called to the attention of the public ought to be considered,” Green said. . .

“My hope is we will expand this and take up additional issues. I would also say this for your viewers, for edification purposes — a president can be impeached more than once. So we can do this — we can move forward with what we have on the table currently. We can take this before the Senate, and we can still investigate other issues, and when the president has committed additional offenses — and my suspicion is that he will — we can take those before the Senate,” he continued.

Swalwell Changes Tune on Impeachment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell on Tuesday said he has not made a decision yet about whether President Donald Trump should be impeached, after previously calling for his impeachment.

Swalwell’s comments come after House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff declined to say whether or not he supports impeaching Trump and his removal from office by the Senate. In November, Swalwell said on Twitter “I am one of them. I called for impeachment the day @realDonaldTrump told @GStephanopoulos he would again take help from a foreign government to win an election. That was June. Little did any of us know he was already trying to do that with Ukraine.”

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee released their report on Tuesday regarding the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

The 123-page report, which was written by Republican staffers of the House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs panels, says that the evidence provided by Democrats is not enough to impeach the president and called the Democrats’ continued efforts to impeach Trump “an orchestrated campaign to upend our political system,” Roll Call reported.

The White House told House Democrats on Sunday that they will not take part in the House Judiciary Committee’s first impeachment hearing, after being invited by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler. (Read more from “Swalwell Changes Tune on Impeachment” HERE)

Justice Department Asks Supreme Court to Allow Execution of Four Child Murderers

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court Monday night to clear the way for four federal executions, after a judge in Washington, D.C., put them on hold.

The first of the executions is set for Dec. 9. The condemned inmate is Daniel Lewis Lee, who belonged to a white supremacist organization. A jury sentenced him to death for the 1999 murders of three people, among them an 8-year-old girl. Juries also convicted the other convicts — Alfred Bourgeois, Dustin Lee Honken and Wesley Ira Purkey — for the murders of children.

Attorney General William Barr revived the federal death penalty after a 17-year hiatus in July. The attorney general directed the Bureau of Prisons to use a single-drug pentobarbital lethal injection protocol for capital punishment, clearing the way for long-stalled executions to proceed.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that “uniform procedure” violates a provision of the Federal Death Penalty Act (FDPA). That provision says federal executions must be carried out “in the manner prescribed by the law of the state” in which the death sentence issued.

Though all the relevant states allow lethal injection, Chutkan said the word “manner” encompasses both the means used and the procedural particulars. The judge found there are technical differences between the Barr protocol and relevant state practices, such as how the catheter should be inserted.

WATCH: After These Remarks About the Trump Impeachment Circus, Does This Mean House Democrats Are Russian Agents?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) is one of the few Democrats who aren’t insane. Yes, that club has lost a lot of members since 2016. She’s still a liberal Democrat, but she’s not nuts. She has noted how identity politics has hijacked her party. She hates it when people generalize all Trump supporters as racist. And she warned her party in 2016 that the Clinton campaign was ignoring the Rust Belt, and her state, at their peril. Now, she’s observing that the overtly partisan public impeachment hearings are pretty much accomplishing what Russia wants with this circus: division. And it’s the Democrats leading that charge because…‘orange man, bad.’

Fox Business host Charles Payne interviewed Dingell where he commented on how a partisan impeachment push is accomplishing things Russia has only dreamed of concerning sowing division in Washington.

“I think some of this has probably been caused by some of the actions that they’ve taken,” replied Dingell.

Is that a subtle shot at Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA)? Schiff is the chair of the House Intelligence Committee who held the first series of public hearings that really didn’t do much. The needle hasn’t moved in impeachment. It’s still unpopular in battleground states. No one watched it. No one cared. And the witnesses were pretty much career bureaucrats who were huffy because they disagreed with Trump on Ukraine policy.

Yeah, the hill Democrats are willing to die on is that the president tried to shake down the Ukrainians in a July phone call, where Trump threatened to withhold military aid unless a corruption probe was opened into Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma. Aid was never withheld. In fact, Trump’s Ukraine policy has teeth unlike Obama, who refused to dole out military aid out of fear of hurting Putin’s feelings.

During these hearings, it was revealed that the president could legally put a hold on aid. This is shoddier and more pathetic than the Russian collusion narrative that turned out to be a total myth.
