In a newly released impeachment brief, Democratic House managers argue that President Trump must be removed "immediately" to protect the integrity of the current presidential race. "The Senate must use that remedy now to safeguard the 2020 U.S. election," the managers write.
"The Senate should immediately remove President Trump from office to prevent further abuses," they continue. "He is an immediate threat to the nation and the rule of law. It is imperative that the Senate convict and remove him from office now."
Democrats insist on Trump's immediate removal because, they argue, he was the knowing beneficiary of Russian help in the 2016 election,

" President Trump must be removed "immediately" to protect the integrity of the current presidential race."
I say the still on-going coup attempt is what should be removed immediately. There has to be a federal law against trying to overthrow a sitting President in this country without any reason other than hate. The dims are at their old trick of accusing the Republicans of doing what they are actually doing. Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and the whole bunch if evil haters should be rounded up, handcuffed and jailed, pending legal action against them, They are the ones guilty of crimes....not President Trump.

So candidate Trump encouraged and embraced Russian interference in 2016 through unfavorable stories and leaks about Hitlery. If true, so what. Culd candidate Trump orderthe FBI, CIA, NSA, and other goobernment agencies to do anything about it? NO! He was a mere candidate. However, all, great, magnificent, Da Won Obambi could have done something....but didn't! Dems balme Trump for Obambi's screw up. And what candidate would be please for dirt on their opponent? Oh, but it was Russia. Well, shouldn't the voters know what a foreign power, which the newly elected president will have to deal with, knows about them? All that dirt was fodder for blackmail if Hitlery got elected. Talk about a reset! Voters need to know that.

Let's get over all of this Russia collusion to influence a US election BS. They have been doing this my entire life. Obama openly attempted to influence an election in Israel, why is that not discussed?

Democrats are like opioid addicts: They just can't stop doing the thing that will kill them, no matter how much someone tries to intervene. Their hatred is an addiction that they can't control.

The leftist and liberal Democrats are going on national TV falsely claiming that they have overwhelming evidence that President Trump has violated the law. But the Democrats never advise just what law the President has violated as there is no such law. Everything that the President has done was within his wide constitutional discretion to conduct foreign affairs. The Democrats are trying to eliminate this President’s ability to use the historical concept of Executive Privilege that has always been used by past Presidents to keep his conversations and deliberations with his close White House advisors private. If the Democrats were to knock out the concept of Executive Privilege they could conceivably subpoena the President’s close advisors on a weekly basis to appear before Democrat controlled congressional committees to lay out all their advise, conversations, and deliberations with the President. That would make Republican Presidents subservient to the Democrats in Congress anytime they controlled a House of the Congress. Of course the Democrats would only enforce such future power against Republican Presidents if there are any. This is all political, and the Republicans in the Senate would be committing political suicide if they capitulate and allow the Democrats to do that. There is also nothing in the Constitution or the law to grant immunity from being investigated or prosecuted to politicians suspected of corruption because those politicians are running in future elections, or potentially might be a future Democrat nominee for President.

Bryon must have just finished the first page. Every word is a deception, including the "a", "an", "and:, and "the."

#5 But we must "fair and just" and "let the process play out". We "need to hear all the facts". Whether the "facts" are true or not true. We must understand that some "facts" are not "true facts". I've never heard of facts that are not true, but that's just how I roll. Truth does not matter. But as the legal geniuses Cruz and Kennedy tell us, "we must go on with the show and allow the democrats a "fair and just" show.

Byron repeatedly signs onto the "Russian hack" theory, a theory backed only by the word of Crowdstrike, NOT the FBI. Thus he's swallowed at least some of the DNC's attempt to blame Russia, and by extension, Trump.

I really do object most strenuously to the widely repeated 'conventional wisdom' that as York states "There is a mountain of evidence that Russia interfered, and that has been the conclusion of every investigation into the matter, beginning with the first congressional inquiry, by the House Intelligence Committee under then-chairman Devin Nunes."
This is a pure red herring, IMO. The Russians did a little bit of irrelevant, impotent fiddling around the edges, a piddling, small, ineffective, irrelevant NOTHING BURGER that had ZERO actual affect on the election. And the Russians had absolutely NO ability to change any votes or impact any voting machines, which is what the Demonrats continuously claim happened. It did not happen.
In any real and meaningful sense, the Russians DID NOT interfere in the 2016 election. Yes, they tried to interfere, but it is like saying that a kid throwing dirt clods at an M1A1 Abrams tank "interfered with the mission", he may have thrown his dirt clods, and may even have hit with one or two, but it DID NOTHING of consequence.
