Perhaps: but Tillis, Gardner, McSally and Collins are all Republican incumbents who are running in states where it will be difficult to justify joining in McConnell’s whitewash of Trump’s abuse of power and that is enough seats to flip the Senate.
McConnell and Graham are both polling underwater but it is far too early to suggest either of them are truly vulnerable.
With massive retirements among Republicans in the House, where exactly to you see this “blow back” developing?
Interesting observation. You do realize although subpoenaed by Congress one is not compelled to appear. House committees were able to use the Court to force those individuals to appear and they did not choosing to make good on the promise made to “deliver impeachment by Christmas”.
The President maintained those subpoenaed shouldn’t appear it would only legitimize the folly of a partisan hack job. Speaker Pelosi proclaimer the impeachment process was to be “bipartisan as prescribed by the Founders”, she just loves quoting those old rascals). Well how did that work out?
The second McConnell thinks that this has an excellent chance of costing him the Senate, he’ll put a millstone around Trump’s neck and throw him overboard.
Lied to a prosecutor actually but basically you are correct.
However, the Clinton Impeachment really was more of a reaction to the Nixon Impeachment effort more than anything else. (Yes, lying under oath to hide an extra-marital affair is perjury, but isn’t really more of a persona and civil matter than something that justifies removal from office… basically what the Senate decided in the end.)
The Clinton Impeachment was a real world proof of Karl Marx proposition that all historical events happen twice: the first time as tragedy and the second time as farce.
Marx did not reflect on the possibility of a second repetition.
It’s shocking to me that you guys want to clear the way for the next D POTUS to use his office to pressure foreign powers to investigate his/her political opponents.
