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.

It would be the death of the GOP.

The GOP was all but dead before President Trump resuscitated them in 2016. If they coerce him into resigning (which I don't think they can do) it will be the final nail in the coffin.

How many armed patriots would show up in D.C. if that happened?

Thank God for the Oath Keepers and others willing to enforce the Constitution.

Bill Clinton perjured himself over sex... the left has proven over and over again, they don’t care how deviant their leaders are.... but the painful truth, its over for Trump... the GOP will fold like a cheap suit... Sondland sang... buried everyone and will likely lead to Pence being impeached... perhaps not convicted.... all of scumbag Adam Schiff’s misdeeds will disappear.... they have Trump in QPQ.

Funny....everyone was quoting Starr yesterday about he claimed there’s no impeachable offenses. Today... Sondland Sang... sad to say... its over for Trump. The court of public opinion is on speed dial (social media) the chorus will be overwhelming.... trump will make them go thru with it. The actual vote to impeach will be close and if Trump prevails, he won’t be re-elected. He’ll be too damaged.

Starr was a third rate prosecutor. He bungled the investigation of Vince Foster, and many others.

I am livid also. I will tell fox news and Ken Starr as well. Unprofessional, which hurt his credibility.

The Ukrainian parliament just demanded an investigation into a 7.5 Billion bribery concerning the Oligarchs, the Democrats, and Poroshenko. The US is required by treaty to launch it. This is actually huge for exposing The Bidens, Clintonso and previous administration.

Sorry Democrat Fascist propaganda bot. You are once again shamelessly lying.

2 things you are willingly ignoring

The 4 fatal words that shot your Democrat Fascist party lie in the head right at the start.

"In my personal view"

He also said THIS which proves you a shameless liar.

Sondland: “I’ve never heard from President Trump that the aid was conditioned on the investigations.”

Game over. That he assumed something is utterly irrelevant

So once again Democrat Fascist Party propaganda bot. You lose.

Rush gave a good summation today. .. ukraine had been helping hillary and the dims trying to take Trump out when campaigning. they and dems were in collusion. ukraine was corrupt and Trump was not going to give millions of tax dollars to a corrupt gov.

then the new leader was elected in ukraine and was trying to curry favor from our president. Trump talked to him before giving the millions in aid..
Trump knew the dossier and more ukraine had been involved.

he asked himself because everyone else was in the same corrupt tank.. he had every right to ask before sending the money ..plus he had been in dem h$ll for 3 years..
there was never a quid pro quo.. trump is not dumb.. he just wanted information... he could not trust anyone..

know the background on why Trump had that conversation.

They had sondland on perjury. He was probably told it was OK to amend his story as he “learned more”, but after submitting two competing narratives under oath, I’m guessing the democrats told him they’d prosecute if he didn’t keep going.

I wish republicans would ask him about that, but he’d probably just lie.

Sondland can't remember anything, and he's too stupid to realize that he should be keeping a constant journal because of that. (every Senior who's losing their memory knows that). Because of that memory deficit, he's susceptible to false memories. Heck, he practically told us that he was operated from planted memories.

Today was in a way better. At least a few Repubs werer emphasizing that fighting corruption and minimizing foreign aid are constants, priorities for President Trump.

What I find revealing is how thoroughly the Deep State is in charge of Foreign Policy and how self-righteous they are about it. There's no reason we should be in Ukraine and there's no reason we should be involved in European territorial disputes. Last I took a look at the map, there's a whole lot of problems that need attention in our back yard.

<> No fan of the GOP here, but to cheer on a vacuum that will be filled by leftists is just plain idiotic.

Over the seven decades of my life I can safely say that the answer to what I’m witnessing going in DeeCee isn’t more Republicans. A few dozen will put up a stink, but the overwhelming majority are useless. We need young blood and new thinking. I doubt we’ll see that until our backs are against the wall.

Trump will not Resign—its not in his DNA. He will fight and, if given a chance he will pull down the whole corrupt Democrat Party and every Senator running for President will be stuck in Washington right up to October. The country will be pulled apart with riots and fighting in the streets. In such a case the death list will be in the hundreds. National Guards troops will need to guard Polling Places. It will go all Third World. When The Democrats lose they will go for assassinations of Trump and Pence to put Nancy in as the 46th President with appointed VP Hillary Clinton. That’s when the real fighting will start.

This is all about driving down Trump's poll numbers. If they impeach him, they'll take it to the bank, of course, but whether or not they get it is less important than driving down Trump's approval numbers. They know its a long shot to get the Senate to convict and remove, but as long as it hurts Trump's approval rating they'll take it.

Since Election Day in 2016 the 'Rats have thrown everything including the kitchen sink at Trump. It's all failed because Trump is guilty of no crime. But to the 'Rats, that doesn't matter. Nor does truth, honesty, justice, and fairness. None of those things even remotely describes the typical 'Rat today. One thing does, and that is getting votes, or taking votes away from their opponent. So keep in mind that the main goal here is to drive down Trump's approval numbers, just like they did with GWB after he was reelected. Its the only thing left on the table for the 'Rats. The majority of the sheeple still have the mainstream media as their primary information source. So they 'Rats will throw all this stuff out there and their sycophants in the media will dutifully spoon-feed it to the sheeple. Its just setting the table for the 2020 election, which may very well be the nastiest and most brutal of any election in our lifetimes, maybe in the history of the Republic.
