Ken Starr: GOP Senators Might Consider Having to ‘Make a Trip’ to the White House [tr]
Daily Beast ^ | November 20, 2019 | Justin Baragona

Posted on 11/20/2019 7:48:39 AM PST by C19fan

Moments before Wednesday’s impeachment hearings and right after U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland’s opening statement was released, Fox News contributor Ken Starr wondered aloud whether Sondland flipping on President Trump would cause GOP senators to push Trump to resign. “The real issue is the senators are watching,” Starr said. “Are senators going to now say in light of what we hear today, it’s going to be a long day even with the ambassador alone, in light of what we have heard, ‘We need to make a trip down to the White House’? That historic example set during the Nixon presidency. From what I’ve been able to glean I don’t think that’s going to happen. But obviously what happens today could—has the potential to be a game-changer.

We all know it would be Willard who would lead the party up Penn Avenue to the White House. If that happens, I am done voting period. Let the Left take over and burn this country to the ground.

Excuse me?

Since when is Sondland’s personal opinion relevant?

Directly contradicts his testimony of 2 weeks ago.

And again. SO WHAT? There is NO CRIME here.

Ukraine did not launch investigation and got the aid. so even if the clown assumed there Quid Pro Quo was being demanded it was never done. There is NO such crime as “quid pro quo”.

To start with the Ukrainians have all ready shot this lie dead. There is no truth to these accusation at the President. It a wholly make up attempt to distract and deflect from real criminal wrong doing by the Democrats in the Ukraine during Obama’s regime

Ukraine Foreign Minister: U.S. Aid, Investigations Were ‘Never’ linked

READ THE TRANSCRIPT you lying scumbags in the Fake News

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf

Here is the problem for the Democrat Fascists and their toadies in the Fake New Media.

We will let them assume EVERYTHING is true and accurate in the “transcripts. We allow this nonsense of hearsay, feeling and assumptions to be allowed as “evidence”.

There is still no crime here.

If “Quid Pro Quo” or “bibery” or what ever they are lyinging call it today is a “Crime”, Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP.

Watch the video of him bragging about it.

The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did it would still need to be investigated to verify. In either case Trump is not guilty of anything.

It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions. .

Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House

Been cursed and insulted for saying I don’t trust the Rs AT ALL in the senate.

I will be GLAD to have been cursed at when I am completely wrong.

I DONT TRUST THEM.

Too many owe their allegiance to the gravy train.

I don’t know who this guy who spoke today is and what he said that made a difference, but I fear some Rs don’t need much of a shove to turn on us.

though getting to 67 is our saving grace.

Again, a simple majority and we’d be screwed

And as usual the spin put on the statement by Democrat Fascist PR site Daily Beast is contrary to the context of Starr’s full statement.

I would hope that We The People would take a trip to the Capitol and end the coup by whatever means necessary.

It lying Leftist spin. Starr said he did not think it would but “it had the potential to be a game changer”

No once you actually read it rather then knee jerk react it more “In my opinion”...nonsense.

Directly contradicts his testimony of 2 weeks ago.

And again. SO WHAT? There is NO CRIME here.

Ukraine did not launch investigation and got the aid. so even if the clown assumed there Quid Pro Quo was being demanded it was never done. There is NO such crime as “quid pro quo”.

WTF?!

Bill Clinton actually perjured himself and committed actual crimes and nobody on his party demanded he resign!

Barack Hussein Obama DID demand quid-pro-quo on Ukraine and Biden demanded it. Ergo it’s not a crime and Sondland already spewed that he never heard Biden mentioned as part of the quid-pro-quo.

It’s still a nothing burger.

I don’t know what kind of drugs Starr is on today, but this is complete nonsense. If this lunacy should come to pass, the left won’t burn the country done. I’ll try my best to do it myself.

That would be a suicide mission, because every Republican would be defeated next year and the Repubican Party would join the Whigs in the dust bin of history.

Let’s hope that lies, misinformation, deception and criminality don’t carry the day. If they do...the future should be “interesting” for some more than others.
