Impeachment Thread

I'm personally not watching and I'll just scan the headlines at the end of testimony to do a recap post. But I know a lot of people are still watching, so here's a thread for discussion about it.

Because this is obviously a content-free post (at least as far as my contribution to it goes), I'll just post this, and then post something with content directly above it.

But consider this post "live," even though it's going to be in the second post position.

Here's a link to FoxNews' feed, on YouTube.

20 Remember one thing about this circus-- Schiffie set it up so all the Dem-favorable headlines come out first, in the morning. Then the Republicans question in the afternoon, and they inevitably fall apart. Not that that makes any difference, of course, because the media is already running with the earlier story, as planned.

They're winning the case, only a news cycle, and it isn't shifting the numbers their way.

23 Willowing myself....

Emerson has a poll out today with Trump at 48% approval, the highest ever from them. Yesterday there was that poll from Wisconsin showing Trump beating the entire Dem field easily.

At what point do Dems realize every day this shit shows goes on creates new Trump 2020 voters? They are evil. But not stupid. The equation becomes do they keep at it to placate the far left base or do they grow a pair and tell AOC and co to fuck off?

The only problem with this is that the *establishment* Dems will have failed, not the Squad types. In 72, in similar circumstances, they let a Leftist run and get pummelled, putting them in their places for a long time with superdelegates.

The obvious countermove for the Leftists is to claim that if they were in charge, they would not have failed.

>>The fuck?!

Some of us have been saying that Trump set these clowns up. A full trial in the Senate where Trump and Republicans get to present their witnesses and their evidence is going to be very bad for the left.

Let's see if some of the less crazy Democrats will walk them back from the edge of the abyss before they decide to jump.

115 The other thing about a Senate trial is that hearsay's out, so most of this parade of witnesses is irrelevant. But the affirmative defense of the Take Care Clause means that Biden, Burisma, 2016 collusion, etc. are all relevant.

Hate to disagree with you Jack. Sure, they can call all the witnesses they want. The FISa/Durham/Etc report will lay a lot out. But the media is going to claim: This is an impeachment trial of Donald Trump. NOT about Joe and Joe's son. And it's not about the election stuff from 2016 of Ukraine. Because, we've already read FISA/Durham report about that.

ANYTHING not explicitly focused on the issue of Trump is not relevant to this proceeding.

I don't think its just because I'm a lawyer but that really hit home when they raided Cohen's law office as a pretext to get dirt on Trump. Abuse of the intelligence services, though entirely unacceptable, has been going on for a couple generations.

But they never had the temerity to just come right out in the open and raid lawyers' office and prosecute friends of Enemies of the State to fish for crimes like this. And you have the Letitia James of the world openly proclaiming her goal to investigate (i.e. punish) business associates, friends. And you have NY and CA trying to troll through tax returns for ten years, and the House subpoenaing accountants etc etc. Its banana thuggery of a proportion I have never seen nor heard of in this once-Republic.

IF McConnell and company actually stick to the Federal Rules of Evidence, the prosecution's case should take about 45 minutes to present.
