Newt Gingrich: Trump impeachment vote – America, it's the anti-Trump universe vs. the pro-Trump universe
Fox News ^ | December 18, 2019 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 12/18/2019 11:56:26 AM PST by jazusamo

Watching recent developments in the House Democratic Party, it is clear that the effort to impeach President Trump has nothing to do with facts or a normal process of investigation and evidence-based prosecution.

We are living through a process defined by a pro-Trump universe and an anti-Trump universe. The great economy, record-low unemployment, the conservative judges, the achievements in renewing the Space program, and a host of other positive things are occurring in the pro-Trump universe.

However, the willful avoidance of facts and evidence by left-wing media and left-wing Democrats is a sign that there is an alternative anti-Trump universe.

The report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz was devastating in its indictment of senior FBI officials – and even more in its repudiation of the lies being told by Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who is the public face of the impeachment effort. Again and again, Horowitz vindicated the former chairman, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, and rejected Schiff’s assertions.

On Sunday, Chris Wallace made vividly clear in interviews for "Fox News Sunday" with both former FBI Director James Comey and Chairman Schiff that they simply were not telling the truth. Every American should watch the Wallace interview.

Further, Schiff is not the only Democratic congressman with a big credibility gap. As Paul Sperry reported for RealClearInvestigations, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler has some real explaining to do.

Sperry wrote that in February 2018, Nadler circulated a ‘Dear Democratic Colleague’ letter – later leaked to the press – that trashed a House Intelligence Committee report detailing FBI spying abuses involving former Trump campaign staffer Carter Page.

But Horowitz last week found the FBI did in fact abuse its authority.

Sperry also notes that “Nadler also insisted in his four-page letter … that a discredited Clinton campaign-funded...

Yep and now the fake reality of the Dems hits the real world in the US Senate

Best thing that could happen is what McConnell is talking about.

Send a clear message that partisan Impeachment attempts have utterly no place in US Politics. Show the complete contempt the US People hold US House Democrats in today in the most public immediate rebuke possible.
Hear them present their augment and then vote to dismiss it immediately as merit less in the US Senate.

Voters then follow it up in Nov 2020 by firing every possible Democrat. Hand them their worse voter beat down since 1894 when the Dems lost 127 seats

I just flat out disagree with that. I think the best thing Trump could for America is completely expose what has been going on with the state department, deep state and corruption. Even if it cost him his presidency. micconnell will fight Trump, but Trump can use this to expose it all. The senate can allow schumer’s witness list and, I think at least, Trump would have to be allowed his witness list. Trump can still claim executive privilege and fight it through the courts. That would delay their witnesses while Trump’s defense presented his.

I respect differing opinions, BUT what the Dems are doing is absurd, ignorant and driven by hatred for our President and our rule of law.

I agree.

McConnell is right to end this impeachment fiasco sooner rather than later.

That is flat out not true. The Executive branch is independent of the legislative branch. Executive Privelage is not subject to a vote in the house or the senate. The president has a right to confidential counsel from his lawyers and cabinet. It can be forced through the judiciary, but even that is questionable.

pro-Trump universe and an anti-Trump universe

***************

Irreconcilable differences writ large. The Left wants absolute power and control; the right wants freedom and liberty.

We are in the midst of a deepening political war. Next year is going to be a battle royal for all the marbles.

The RATs are wrong, they know it and still insist on committing political suicide.

That pure wishful thinking. A long drawn out fight is not going to expose anything but it will piss off the American people at everyone

This is the DC Swamp vrs the people. No one is going to win the PR war by trying to play DC Swamp games against the Democrats

Yes, Newt.

This is just a political hit job and nothing else.

Everyone knows this.
