After the Democrats' bogus impeachment hearing with Ambassador Bill Taylor on Wednesday, former United States Solicitor General Ken Starr told Fox News' Bret Bair that "no crime was proven today."
“The members were very strong. I think the members overall acquitted themselves extremely well on both sides of the aisle. The quality of the questioning was extremely high for the most part," he said. "One key thing, the Republicans not only are rock solid, so that means if this trend continues, there is no hope for impeachment, for the conviction of the House — I mean, in the Senate."
But Starr's biggest takeaway: Democrats failed to prove President Donald Trump proved a crime, like what was very clear during the impeachment proceedings against Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.
"And here to me was something that was very telling: No crime was proven today," Starr explained. There were a lot of terms used, extortion and bribery, but no crime. This is unlike Nixon and unlike Clinton.”
Since the Democrats launched this so-called "inquiry," they have made it very clear that this is a partisan game for them. Republicans basically get no say and Trump does not deserve to defend himself against his accuser.
And, to make things even worse, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) gets to continue to lead the impeachment effort, something he was after before Trump was sworn into office.
Democrats should take note of Starr's remarks. They still haven't proven that any crime was committed, even though they continue to tell the American people they have the "smoking gun" that'll bring down Trump. It took them five hours and guess what? We're still in the same place: with House Democrats wanting to vote for articles of impeachment and Senate Republicans finding it to be a waste of time.

It shows that they are very dangerous and should be nowhere near Government
But Rush played an audio montage today with 20-25 liberal talking heads proclaiming “the evidence is overwhelming.”

All Schiffty needs is a couple of ball bearings to play with.

Yep, and the Rat lawyer was leading the witness to the point of being sickening.
Bottom line for the Democrats is an * next to the name of the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump. They don’t care about anything being legal, ethical, following the rules, or otherwise. Job one is that * next to DJT’s name, and only that *.
That * means he’s impeached, and they have done what the sought to do. They have stained his historical record for all time, and they believe it will cause him to lose in 2020.
It’s our job to make certain he wins in 2020 in spite of that *. The Democrats have an * waiting for us if we don’t.
I couldn’t agree more, this entire charade of impeachment is about the 2020 election.
It’s imperative we get President Trump reelected, our nations survival depends on it.
“It shows that they are very dangerous and should be nowhere near Government”
No. They should be cleaning septic tanks with a straw and a spoon. But then, I should’t be that hard on septic tanks.
Neither did you sparky, and we haven't forgotten.
Off topic...
I heard again on NPR some lame-o talk about “10,000 lies” told by Trump. Every time I hear that line nobody backs it up with...you know...even the top ten lies. Can someone here please explain to me what this whole 10,000 lies thing is about? Thanks...
Whatever happens during the committee hearings, won’t matter.
Democrats are stuck.
They have to issue articles of impeachment.
Otherwise, it’s the biggest embarrassment in the history of congress, for Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and most democrats, and a few republicans. The media would also take a big hit regarding their lack of truthfulness and their bias and corruption.
But, knowing how hateful democrats are, and knowing that they’ll do the evil they can in order to get their way, they’d just go look for something else to get Trump on, even to the point of producing another big lie.
Bump!
LOL! Brilliant Sky! Brilliant!
no question whatsoever that Trump will be impeached. It’s the theater of the absurd, of course, and a constitutional farce.
But that’s what the d’s deliver.
But bet top dollar. It’s gonna happen.
Probably no Senate conviction, because a few Republicans will get on their high horse and sanctimoniously declare that thought much bad was done, they can’t quite vote to remove....a bunch of attention whores who will want credit for saving Trump while doing as much hard to him as possible.
Our government (except Trump) doesn’t even rise to the level of banana republic at this sad time.
I didn’t watch it but, did they even name an alleged crime?
A Quid Pro Quo for U.S. dollars isn’t a crime it’s the standard policy.
