It is a dreaming and delusional for Dem v**ers to think otherwise...


Their dreams, our nightmares!

“We’re gonna impeach the (expletive deleted).”

Thus did the member from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib, declare last January to be the goal of the 2019 House Democratic Caucus.

Wednesday night, Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered the goods.

The House impeached President Donald Trump on a straight party-line v**e. Not one Republican signed on to the most partisan impeachment in U.S. history.

Yet, as we head for trial in the Senate, Democrats seem to be having nervous second thoughts over what they have done.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for the Senate to subpoena four new witnesses the House never heard. Nancy Pelosi signaled Wednesday night that she might not send over to the Senate the articles of impeachment the House had just approved.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the floor both Wednesday night and Thursday morning. To have the Senate, which is judge and jury of the impeachment charges, to start calling witnesses whom House prosecutors failed to pursue “could set a nightmarish precedent.”

Said McConnell, Schumer “would apparently like our chamber to do House Democrats’ homework for them.”

Schumer’s plea for new witnesses is an admission that the House’s case for impeaching Trump is inadequate and deficient and could prove wholly noncredible to the American people. After all, if you need more witnesses, you probably do not have the smoking gun.
The message sent by Pelosi’s call for more time before the trial, and Schumer’s call for more witnesses, is one of fear that not only could the House’s case for impeachment fail, it could be laughed out of the Senate. And the American people might be fine with that.
The Democratic Party has bet the ranch on the impeachment and removal of Trump for imperiling our “national security.” But are Schumer and Pelosi behaving as though the republic is in mortal peril?

Schumer’s call for new witnesses also underscores the thinness of Article I of the impeachment, Trump’s alleged “Abuse of Power.”

Beneath Article I, there is not a single crime listed — no treason, no bribery, no extortion, no high crimes.

What kind of impeachment is this, with not one crime from the list the Founding Fathers designated as impeachable acts?

Why did the Democratic House not impeach Trump for conspiring with Russia to steal the 2016 e******n? Answer: The House could no more prove this charge than could Robert Mueller after two years.

Other events are breaking Trump’s way.

The James Comey-FBI investigation Mueller inherited has begun to take on the aspect of a “deep state” conspiracy.

According to the Justice Department’s IG Michael Horowitz, the FISA court warrants used to justify FBI spying were the products not only of incompetence but also of mendacity and possible criminality.

The “essential” evidence use by the FBI to get the FISA judge to approve warrants for surveillance was the Steele dossier.

An ex-British spy, Christopher Steele was working in mid-2016 for a dirt-diving operation hired by the DNC and Clinton campaign to go after Trump. His altarpiece, the dossier, we learn from Horowitz, was a farrago of fabrications, rumors and lies fed to Steele by a Russian “sub-source.”

In the four FBI submissions to the FISA courts for warrants to spy on Carter Page, there were “at least 17 significant errors or omissions.”

And all 17 went against Team Trump.

Moreover, the discrediting of the Comey investigation has just begun. U.S. Attorney John Durham will report this spring or summer on his deeper and wider investigation into its roots.

As IG of Justice, Horowitz’s investigation was confined to his department and the FBI. But Durham is looking into the involvement of U.S. and foreign intelligence in the first days of the FBI investigation.

Attorney General Bill Barr and Durham have both said that they do not share Horowitz’s view that there was no political bias at the beginning of the investigation of the Trump campaign. Durham’s writ is far wider than Horowitz’s and he has the power to impanel grand juries and bring criminal indictments.

Among the fields Durham is plowing are reports that agents and assets of the FBI and CIA may have “set up” Trump foreign policy aide George Papadopoulos. Possible purpose: to feed him intel about Russia having dirt on Hillary Clinton, and then entrap him, put him in legal jeopardy, and turn him into an investigative instrument to be used against Trump.

With the Horowitz report confirming what the Trumpers have been reporting and saying about Comey’s investigation for years, and the newly proven manipulation of the FISA courts, the media hooting about “right-wing conspiracy theories” seems to have been toned down.

Carter Page, once considered a dupe of the Russians, is now seen as a patriot who assisted his country’s intelligence services only to be made a victim of injustice who saw his civil rights be trampled upon by his own government.

The cards appear to be falling Trump’s way.http://www.libertynewsnow.com

Why not hear from a couple of the sources.

Punching Back: Lil' Joey Mifsud The Maltese Falcon

Dear Robert,

Italian prosecutors made an announcement on Friday evening that there is an "80 percent" chance that Professor Joseph Mifsud is no longer alive. Mifsud had been charged by the Agrigento Public Prosecution office with misuse of finances at a university where he was president in the southern Italian city of Agrigento, Sicily.

The Mueller Report refers to Joseph Mifsud as a "Russian spy", a claim which has long been denied by George Papadapoulos (aka "Papa D"), the young Trump Campaign volunteer who got caught in a perjury trap during the Mueller Investigation, leading to a 2-week sentence in Federal lock-up.

With the announcement of Mifsud's probable death in the Italian press, Papa D immediately tweeted: "Lil Joey Mifsud is not sleeping with the fishes. More to come."

Papa D was referring to his "Punching Back" iTunes podcast, in which he describes how he was used to launch the Mueller Investigation into Donald Trump's alleged collusion with the Russians to win the 2016 e******n. Thanks to AIM4T***h, I was able to embed it as a video on this site.

Papa D says, "Joseph Mifsud is the Maltese professor who Bob Mueller, Jim Comey and other pundits in the Mainstream Media, for the last two years characterized as a 'Russian Agent', who was feeding me information about the Russians possessing Hillary Clinton's emails and attempting to collude with me as an intermediary with the Russian government.

"Now, this lie - this one lie, alone turned this country on its head. We were fed lies about this individual, we were fed lies about what my interactions really were with this person, how I even met him, who his connections were and how he fits into the whole scandal.

"And I'm going to, for the first time ever, explain who this person is, how I met him, how he fits into these various reports and what I expect of his involvement with the Durham probe.

"Let's look at facts. Joseph Mifsud is not a Russian. Joseph Mifsud is a Maltese national, with extensive ties to Western intelligence apparatuses, including the CIA, the FBI, MI6 and Italian intelligence services."

Papa D goes on to describe how Mifsud set up a meeting in London between him and a beautiful honeypot who was described to him as "Putin's niece", where they were recording him and "basically trying to play" him. Apparently, she was a manager at a wine store in Moscow.

"People forget that it was no mystery that Donald Trump had been openly talking about working with Vladimir Putin at the strategic level to defeat ISIS and to hedge China, from probably the day he announced his candidacy in June or July of 2015.

"So, by the time I joined in March of 2016, he had probably mentioned this openess to work with Russia at least 50 times.

"So, as a foreign policy advisor whose job was to connect the candidates to foreign governments, to write foreign policy speeches for him and to basically meet with foreign governments to better understand where the US relations stood with them, I would have been derelict in my duties, as the FBI likes to say, if I didn't attempt to coordinate a meeting with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump for a photo op!

"...In March of 2015, we now know that there had already been an attempt to not only set me up with f**e information and f**e situations but to also set the campaign up with the f**e Russia story.

"Considering this entire scenario of Mifsud and 'Putin's niece' was f**e and that the company, the London Center for International Law Practice, who introduced me to Mifsud in Rome by an intermediary of the FBI lied about why I was supposed to meet this person again."

This is an important video document, with important dates and details, created by a central figure caught up in the FBI's counterintelligence operation "Crossfire Hurricane" to destroy both the candidacy and the presidency of Donald Trump.

So, there is an answer to why Trump was talking to Putin, NOT simply cozying up to him, but getting an allie against China. Sorry libs, you lose. Seeing a bit you didn't know? And yes I have the video, I just don't know how to get it to OPP, I can forward it to people though.

I wouldn't call it an impeachment, Pelosi has to get the Articles to the Senate and there IS a time limit so play your games all you want. In the meantime some dems are leaving and going over, more b****s and Hispanics are going over than before. I think it's 180 days. They'll probably be back by then, but will their games be over?

I have a suggestion where she can put those articles of impeachment. It's where the sun doesn't shine.
She's committing obstruction of Justice by sitting on them.
