You folks are beating this "it's not the Senate's job" meme to death. We are talking about the most consequential thing a Senate can do. Contemplate the impeachment of a prez. All the evidence that is available needs to be presented. The fact that Repubs don't want it to be speaks volumes about their fear of being exposed in violating their oath if they acquit.
I am sorry if the fact that the Democrats did a piss-poor job conducting their unfair rush to Impeach the President - according to the Democrats' Constitutional expert, the fastest rush to Impeachment based on the weakest Impeachment case in US history - and failed to prove their case.
Perhaps the Democrats should have taken more time, tried harder to be more thorough and tried harder to seek all available evidence, not just throw a one-sided political Impeachment, as they have admitted this is, together.
The fact that the Democrats called for the Impeachment of the President 5 minutes after he took his oath of office then have spent the last 3 years trying to find / manufacture anything they could use to do so speaks volumes.
The fact that Democrats, before ever taking office - without ever seeing the 1st bit of evidence, bragged how they were going to Impeach
'the M*er F*er' speaks volumes.
The fact that Democrats committed Sedition by claiming to have had direct evidence of crimes committed by the President, only to be forced to admit they lied speaks volumes.
The fact that a Democrat leading the Impeachment process attempted to present a false, personally-authored fictional account of the phone call as evidence and was quickly forced to claim he had shared a 'parody' during the Impeachment hearing speaks volumes.
The fact that the IC IG who changed the rules to allow a non-qualifying whistle blower's complaint based on hearsay that had already been dismissed by the DOJ to be expedited afterwards to D-Adam Schiff, who then manufactured this Impeachment,
NOW WORKS FOR SCHIFF speaks volumes.
The fact that EVERY 'witness' who testified during the House Intel Committee Impeachment hearings, when asked to do so, could not name 1 crime or 1 Impeachable offense the President supposedly committed speaks volumes.
The fact that the Democrats' own Constitutional Expert testified under oath during the Democrats' Impeachment hearings and declared the President did NOT violate the Constitution, did NOT break any laws, did NOT abuse his power, and that the only ones who HAVE abused their powers have been and continue to be the DEMOCRATS speaks volumes!
- As if to intentionally prove him right, after declaring Trump was SUCH a threat to our nation that he must be removed from office IMMEDIATELY, after the Articles of Impeachment were passed Pelosi refused to release them....COMPLETELY EXPOSING THE FACT THAT THEIR CLAIM THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS / IS AN IMMEDIATE DANGER WAS / IS A LIE...THAT THIS WAS NEVEFR ABOUT PROTECTING THE REPUBLIC BUT ALWAYS ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS SEEKING REVENGE FOR THEIR 2016 LOSS AND GETTING THEIR POWER BACK!
The fact that the Democrats have openly declared, because they all know they have completely FAILED in presenting any legal / Constitutional justification for Impeaching the President, that this Impeachment is PURELY POLITICAL and has nothing to do with actual law / legal rights/processes SPEAKS VOLUMES.
The Democratic Party , in its hatred of the President for defeating Hillary Clinton and depriving them of supreme power and in their rabid obsession with getting that power back, have embraced their evolution from Political Party to the nightmare the Founding Fathers had regarding ghe political, partisan weaponization of the Impeachment process.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT IN THE NEWS TODAY, RUSSIAN PUTIN-PUPPET PRIME MINISTER DIMITRY MDVEDEV JUST DISSOLVED THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, DECLARING THE ENTIRE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT JUST 'QUIT', LEAVING VLADIMIR PUTIN RUSSIA'S SUPREME LEADER.
THAT IS HOW
RUSSIA OVERTHROWS A GOVERNMENT AND ASSUMES DICTATORIAL / SUPREME RULE OVER ITS PEOPLE.
THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE SHOWN THE WAY
THEY DO IT IS THROUGH MANUFACTURED FALSE ACCUSATIONS, VIOLATIONS OF THE US CONSTITUTION AND LAW, ILLEGAL SPYING, DEEP STATE OPERATIVES IN POWERFUL POSITIONS THAT CAN SET=PEOPLE UP, CONDUCT A PROVEN ILLEGITIMATE / UN-JUSTIFIED WITH HUNT FOR 3+ YEARS, UNDRMINE A PRESIDENT, ENGAGE IN SEDITION, AND FINALLY - ADMITTEDLY - AFFECT A PURELY POLITICAL IMPEACHMENT THAT DOES NO TMEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF INCLUDING A CRIMINAL ACT OR 'HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS'.
