Donald Impeachment

Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, and George Conway are a very formidable group just on their own.

But adding Tom Nichols and Molly Jong-Fast on as senior advisors ? A stroke of genius by the Lincoln Project.

Ain't nobody stopping this powerhouse. Gonna be lots of sleepless nights on the Hill.
 
Trump says national security concerns preempt impeachment witnesses

Rashaan Ayesh4 hours ago
President Trump said Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he'd "rather go the long way" with his Senate impeachment trial and have former national security adviser John Bolton testify — but argued that national security concerns preempt it.

"If you think about it, John, he knows some of my thoughts. He knows what I think about leaders, what happens if he reveals what I think about a certain leader and it's not very positive and then I have to deal on behalf of the country, it's going to be very hard, going to make the job very hard."

The big picture: Trump added that he'd like to see other top administration officials testify, but claimed that the same national security concerns apply.

"Mick Mulvaney is probably around here someplace. I’d love to have Mick go, but he really expressed himself well when he did a Chris Wallace interview ... I’d love to have Mike Pompeo testify, but again, that’s a national security problem ... I’d love to have Rick Perry. Rick Perry has asked me, 'I’d love to testify. Please let me testify.' Because he knows this is all a hoax."

The state of play: Trump also told the press conference that he "would love to go" to the impeachment trial himself.

"I'd sit right in the front row and stare in their corrupt faces. I'd love to do it. ... Don't keep talking because you may convince me to do it."

The president admitted that one of his top defense lawyers, White House counsel Pat Cipollone, "might have a problem" if he decided to attend.

Worth noting: The Trump administration simply blocked the officials the president discussed today from participating in the House's impeachment inquiry — without citing executive privilege or national security concerns.

That strategy resulted in an obstruction of Congress article of impeachment against Trump.
What's next: The Democratic House managers in the trial will kick off their opening arguments on Wednesday afternoon — with 24 hours spread across three days.

It's dumb, but it's not dumb. Trump could say what ever he wants and McConnell et al. won't do anything about it. Not a single damn thing.

Trump could admit to everything. Say it was all for his political benefit. Say he's done it with other countries as well. Republicans wouldn't give a damn. Own the libs!

Exactly. He or his surrogates have already done some of this live on TV.
 
 
Other than gays in the military, there was virtually nothing I agree with Barry Goldwater about during lifetime. But the GOP needs a Barry Goldwater to stand up for what's right. Sadly, there are no Barry Goldwaters in the Senate today.

Hell, even Alan Simpson would have said something and stood up to Trump.

Moment of silence for john McCain. He just may have taken a stand.
 
Roberts will "reprimand" Dem managers for correctly pointing out that Trump's lawyers are outright lying on the Senate floor, but won't say anything to the GOP who break the rules by leaving the Chamber during the trial.

Shocker!
