Desperate Democrats trotted out the same baseless and absurd arguments theyve been making for months at the opening of President Trumps impeachment trial in the Senate Tuesday, in their endless campaign to overturn the results of the 2016 presidential election.
The soporific debate over what procedures to adopt proved a tepid bore (with some exceptions) as Democrats introduced an endless stream of amendments that were destined to go nowhere fast.
The first votes made it clear that Republican senators would adopt Majority Leader Mitch McConnells resolution setting forth the order and parameters of the trial: openhttps://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-jarrett-in-trump-impeachment-trial-democrats-continue-inflammatory-accusations-with-no-basis-in-facting statements first, then written questions from senators, then a later decision on whether
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California, the leading House impeachment manager for Democrats, hurled the usual inflammatory accusations from his grab-bag of anti-Trump invectives (corruption cover-ups misdeeds lawlessness guilt!) He tried to enliven his monotonous delivery with graphics, but the excessive words only added tedium to his largely laborious argument.
As Schiff lectured senators about Rule 7 and Rule 11, I wondered how many in the chamber were longing for a mobile game on their banned cellphones. His colleague, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., was worse as she droned on while reading an agonizingly long prepared statement word for word. Senators may have wished there was a magic mute button somewhere on a master remote control.
Juxtapose that to the counterarguments delivered by Trumps two lead lawyers. When Jay Sekulow commanded the podium he was animated, succinct and effective. He confronted Schiff with the congressmans own words from years earlier when Schiff defended the constitutional right of a Democratic president to invoke executive privilege in a congressional hearing. Yet that is something Schiff now claims this Republican president should not be allowed to assert if his top aides are called***

They keep citing the NY Times, WaPo. MSNBC, etc. The same “sources” they leak to.
Paloosly said allegations were more important than facts.
Adam Schiff is looking at some serious prison time.
Hell stand up and sing Stairway To Heaven if that will keep him out of prison for a while longer.
It always has been the seriousness of the charges...
The House-managers/Senate-Democrats keep making motions for witnesses or documents, knowing they will all be defeated. The Democrats will use that as evidence of a “cover up.” That’s their goal since they know conviction/removal is not realistic.
Lying by politicians is still not a crime.
There's always old school:
It’s trial by accusations. Real Stalinist railroad job.
Who the hell would vote for a party that does this? Boggles my mind.
Today’s requests for amendments is just the Dems way of getting their hearsay acusations into the impeachment records. Most of it won’t be allowed in the actual trial. Few Americans will know the difference and the Dems media arm will broadcast the hearsay as if it were evidence.
Yep, and Schiffty has absolute proof of all those accusations and has had them for a year or two. Dontcha know:)
That is more important than evidence. Allegations.

Only in a sane world. In the world we're actually in -- his next title is Senator.
His relationship with Buck is coming soon. Complete with pictures.
It may be a EPstein - blackmail situation.
They are trying to make campaign speeches.
Yup...they are just stretching and smearing as much as possible before any actual legal proceedings. They had it all planned out that way.
Mcconnel needs to shut this down tomorrow or go all night without a break tomorrow night to make them give up this craziness.
But for cryin' out loud, it's the Party of Hate, Violence, and Evil that we're talking about!
The political party that has championed every evil from slavery, the ku klux klan, lynching, the Democratic White Primary, and the Trail of Tears to infanticide, coup d'état, the Steele dossier, satanism, abortion, witchcraft, voter fraud, illegal immigration, and this phony "impeachment" scam!
What's lying to these people???
