The entrenched elites of both parties and a large portion of the corrupt upper federal bureaucracy understand the mortal threat President Trump poses to them. (snip) The President’s defense in the Senate, accordingly, must engage, spotlight, scrutinize and expose the entire course of odious conduct by the President’s corrupt attackers, from their first spinning of the Russia collusion hoax, through the latest chapter in their attempted coup.
Everything will be relevant in the Senate trial, and everyone, no exceptions, should be subpoenaed and interrogated under oath. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Comey, Peter Strzok, and the entire gang behind the coup.

This is a well articulated, beautifully written article by Jared Peterson! If this Senate trial unfolds, as it should, then all the nefarious dealings, subversive tactics, unlawful criminal acts of the orchestrated deep state effort to unseat a duly elected American President will be exposed, as they should be, with prosecution. Only then will it be proven to American citizens, and the world at large, that our system of government, ingeniously founded, works and is worthy once again of admiration and trust.

FTA: Concurrently, outside the circle of the President’s immediate defense, it is much to be hoped that the investigations of the Make-Bill-and-Hillary-Rich scam, laughably known as The Clinton Foundation, will soon produce indictments.
Author is as gullible as we are in thinking the Clintons, specifically Hillary, will ever face justice. And if the former WH, CIA, FBI and DoJ coup leaders are to testify, it should be before a grand jury and eventually a jury, not a ridulous impeachment trial. Having these corrupt former officials appear in a toothless Senate trial will allow “news” media to make them into heroes who tried to stop collusion, not as the villains they are who colluded against our Constitution.
One hopes that AG Barr’s trio to Italy is part of the Mifsud investigation although it is more likely a vacay in Tuscany at our expense.

It should go this way....but then I consider the likes of some of the "republicans" in the Senate and I shudder. Our Constitutional Republic hangs by a thread, make no mistake.

The greatest threat to president Trump right now are the anti-Trump RINOs in the Senate. Just like Drudge and Fox News - none of these people can be trusted anymore. They would rather eat crumbs at the democrat table than save the Republic.

Totally agree, #5! Getting the Senate off their rear ends is the issue. Thanks a lot to “moderate, common sense” ‘pubbies, aka RINOs, beginning with Mitch who has only gotten judges approved. What the President so busy, he should fire every Dem-appointed judge in the land.
There’s a cesspool in Foggy Bottom that they’re whistling past every day.
Pray for our President. He’s had some magnificent tweets today already.

As well-written as this article is, it’s assuming Pelosi is correct in all that she has done—getting Lawfare people to change House rules and disregard the Constitutional process for Impeachment by simply changing or adding words, like “official,”
and no “first hand knowledge” any longer needed by whistleblower.
According to whom?
Wake up GOP House.

As I posted on the adjacent thread - - -
Don't put too much faith in a Senate trial. RINO Roberts will preside - - and Linguini Mitch will "lead" our side. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm sorry, but what good is it gonna do to "bring on" impeachment? So what if the Demos get exposed...what's gonna happen? Most of the country won't hear about the juicy Demo details because the media simply won't report them. And those remaining few who do some independent research are so brainwashed that they won't believe what they read.
I truly believe that Trump should call a presser, publicly unsubscribe to twitter and toss his phone in the garbage--- after asking Hillary if he's "cleaned it properly with a cloth."
He should then shut up about all this and go on steadfastly with his presidential duties. He can't seem to leave it alone and I fear that may be his downfall. In this case "leave it" may be better than "bring it."

Raise your hands if you think Chief Justice Roberts will allow a fair trial in the Senate. You there in the back with your hand up, go home and pet your purple unicorn.

I know that a lot of people here love to ridicule Lindsay Graham and I have done that on a rare occasion or two. But all of you should go back and revisit his actions as one of the prosecuting senate lawyers in Clinton’s impeachment trial. He was one of only about 4 people in both houses of congress who bothered to go read the evidence against Clinton and he was tough as nails and brilliant at the trial. Also remember his actions during the Kavanaugh hearings.
If the demonrats do push us into a trial in the senate I believe that Graham can round up a lot of like minded Republicans to subpoena and destroy the people behind the coup attempt.

The senate trial could, and should, last up to the election, and should destroy the democrat party and the left media. Why couldn't the senate do it right now?

This is pure phantasy nonsense.
There will be no impeachment before the '20 election. Too much risk for the UNIPARTY,
The GOPe Senate, as a full UNIPARTY partner, will vote to convict, "reluctantly". The threat is as much to their interests as the Dems and the globalists who toss all that money their way. And it won't be MItt corraling the votes for conviction. Before a vote will be a walk down from Capitol Hill to pass the word to resign.
Biden, and even the Clintons are expendable. PDT is an existential threat. Existential. That is assuming the American public can get its head around the idea that its government is largely a sham.
Lindsey Graham will play his role...his time is running out, and his aspirations growing. He will not be facing re-election soon afterwards. He can play whatever role he is assigned. But don't think he's just a by-stander.
Time to wake up...

Ideally a trial in the senate will never happen. But if it does there are troubling aspects to consider. Fisa warrants were created to nail candidate Trump. Anyone the FISA was designed to surveil will also gather surveillance on people he/she came into contact with - even if innocent (merely they would be swept up in the FISA). Congressman Nunes described many instances of misuse of the NSA system by contractors and 0bama's minions. Even the Senate was surveilled during 0bama's regime. No person is perfect, and all have shortcomings that they would prefer to keep secret. 0bama and his minions surveilled the Senate members, their staffs and so on. Trump will be convicted in the Senate when exposure of indiscretions by Senators is threatened by authoritarians who did the surveilling. Nancy, Romney Nadler and Never Trumpers are counting on this. It is likely this cold civil war could get hot.

The only way to make the Democrats back off is to push for an independent investigation into Biden’s connections. THAT will scare everyone. Don’t tie it in with the impeachment - make it all about Biden and Democrats!

I don't believe that the Senate is required to hold an impeachment trial. Those Senators who want to stay in office probably don't want to have one either. The Senate should refuse to hold a trial, if the democrats are deranged enough to actually do a party-line vote. The couple of RINOs who might vote with democrats should be considered partisan too.
A purely partisan impeachment is truly meaningless and an abuse of power- which we have come to expect- and should be ignored. Besides, the legal process of discovery would be very bad for a number of politicians. Don't think that President Trump would go into this without being locked and loaded!

Expecting these people to suddenly give truthful answers if interrogated under oath is wishful thinking. They have been so honest with us so far.

Agree that the entire group should be subpoenaed and put under oath---but why would we have to wait for Trump to be impeached for that? Lindsey Graham could have started that 3 years ago.

The Deep State is terrified of POTUS' next pick for the Supreme Court to replace the frail and failing RBG. They know Trump's next pick will be a Constitutional conservative and that their 75 years of liberal dominance on the Court will end, not to return for at least another 50 years.
Like most people on this forum, Donald Trump was not my first choice for the nomination, but it turns out he was God's choice to lead this nation, and he was the right man for the job. Only a man like Trump, who has spent his life beating back the sneering media, never flinching while he excoriated his opponents. Democrats fight dirty, and Trump fights even dirtier. They will always hate him, but hate is not a political policy on which to build. As all can see, the Demonrats have done nothing over the last 3 years, except investigate Trump (on behalf of the Queen of Chappaqua mind you). No, the Dems are going down this election in a very, very bad way.

A dream event. It will never come to a full impeachment process. It will die horribly in the House.

I agree with one poster it should be in front of a grand jury not the buffoons in the Senate. Remember impeachment is a political move it's not about conviction for a crime. Nothing happened to Bill Clinton when he lied under oath. He was still president and could care less about the consequences of his perjury and after effects he just skipped merrily along with Hillary in tow. The hatred runs so deep on the left and never Trumpers that they will proceed and results for their action be damn. Nothing will change in the minds that hate with that amount of veracity.

This is all well and good if you take the Impeachment vote seriously as an end unto itself ... which it isn't.
Once the House actually votes on a roll call resolution, like a passed bill, it automatically gets kicked over to the Senate. Which means the House is then forced to go silent. What are they going to do? Impeach Trump twice or three times at the same time? No can do. Therefore true impeachment (by resolution and roll call vote) means the House can do no more hearings, no more press conferences on why Trump sucks and MUST be impeached (you just did that! duh!), no more harassing of witnesses, no more mugging for the cameras, no more soft-ball interviews in fawning newspapers, no more talk shows, etc. Does anyone seriously believe the House Dems really want to give up the spotlight so Mitch McConnell can shine? Really?
No ... the Dems want to string this along and NOT take a vote on impeachment until after the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday February 11th in 2020 --- which is only 104 days away. Why you ask? Because that primary is an OPEN PRIMARY and a cross over vote by Dems is allowed. Expect Trump to get clobbered in that primary against Weld (and/or whatever other dummy runs against him --- or even write-ins) and that's the new headline. Trump shows deep weakness in first primary, voters don't want him, etc.

Two things to keep in mind: 1. The House has NO PROBLEMS changing the rules to fit their agenda, and 2. Congress is a Uniparty, meaning there is no majority/minority, but rather, everyone is on the same team (the team that wants to get rid of Trump--and eventually, us).

Interesting that the deep state has chosen now to lurch forward with its impeachment circus. The Chinese and Iran must be applying some pressure. Suffice to say that the DS has concluded Trump will likely be re-elected next year if it does not attempt to ruin him. However, it makes no sense why the dims are willing to lose control of the House due to massive voter backlash related to this impeachment circus. Maybe Georgie Boy Soros can fill us in. I much agree that Sen. Graham needs to go all in and take down the threat and put some dims in orange jumpsuits. Be swift and be thorough, Senator.

If Mitch McConnell actually allows these kinds of witnesses, it would be a spectacle for the ages. Big IF.
For 20 years the Clinton Impeachment proceedings in the senate have bugged me. No witnesses? Trent Lott ran the darned thing like a cocktail party. I will never forget one scene I saw on TV: during a break in the trial, Lott walked out of the Senate Chamber with a bunch of his democrat colleagues. They were all smiles and back-slapping, making their way to the cameras. It sickened me.

Hey Mitch, dummy. Just because a 'Grand Jury indicts a person does not require the DOJ to go to trial. Just because the Congress indicts with impeachment does not require you to go to trial. And I am not even a lawyer.
