B-Man Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Left, far better than the NeverTrump Right, grasped that Trump is succeeding, and that it has little traction in demanding economic, energy, immigration, trade, and regulatory alternatives. We won’t know to what degree Trump won his battles against a now hard-leftist Democratic Party, the NeverTrump Right, the media, the academic and cultural elite, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and the Washington deep state until he finishes his first term. In 2020 the people will decide whether such risks were worth taking. But the idea that Trump has “failed,” when the economy is booming, the United States is energy independent, the border is becoming a border again, China is on notice that the past 30 years of appeasement are over, the military is far stronger, and U.S. foreign policy is being radically recalibrated is absolutely absurd. Impeachment was never about Trump’s failures, but about fears of his perceived successes. The Left, far better than the NeverTrump Right, grasped that Trump is succeeding, and that it has little traction in demanding economic, energy, immigration, trade, and regulatory alternatives. Its lunatic multi-trillion-dollar proposals ensure that it cannot attack Trump on the deficit where he is weakest. As a result, the Left rightly concluded that its only hope to save the progressive agenda is to destroy Trump before the people can vote on his agenda, which they rightly fear is succeeding. Indeed . 5
B-Man Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 WSJ Columnist Details What the Democrats Are Really Doing with This Impeachment Holdup Game by Matt Vespa Original Article The Senate Republican playbook should be put House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on mute and get this trial started. Pelosi and the Democrats have no say in the matter. They don’t. And by withholding the articles of impeachment against President Trump because they know it faces certain death in the Republican Senate creates a new constitutional crisis of its own. This isn’t about a fair trial. As Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel noted, a trial would only further degrade their position in the polls on this impeachment push. It was never popular from the start, and now it’s underwater nationally. . 1 2
B-Man Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 HIS NAME IS ERIC CIAMARELLA AND HE’S NOT A WHISTLEBLOWER Why Adam Schiff doesn’t want anyone talking to the whistleblower by Betsey McCaughey Original Article The truth behind House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff’s role in engineering President Trump’s impeachment may soon come out. Judicial Watch, a nonprofit group promoting government transparency, is suing to get the whistleblower’s e-mails. That’s good news. Because no matter what comes of Trump’s Senate trial, Schiff should be held accountable for his devious methods. The public also needs the truth about the so-called whistleblower. Real whistleblowers deserve to be treated like heroes. . 3

B-Man Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 SPEAKING OF OVERRATED ELITES: That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. The Chief Justice has no such power — the Senate has the sole power to try impeachments, the Chief just presides — and its exercise would delegitimize the whole affair. Were the Chief to “recuse” — I suppose Tribe really means “disqualify” — Trump supporters for bias, he’d set the stage for Trump ignoring the whole thing as illegitimate, and Trump would have a strong basis for doing so. Tribe used to have more sense, but he’s lost it. It’s not Trump who’s the threat to norms and democracy. . 2

If I understand it correctly, the Chief Justice acts somewhat like the on-staff Attorney for the School Board or City Council during the 'trial'. When asked, they are there to offer legal commentary regarding the proceedings just to make sure that the Senators are staying within loose guardrails of legality...and I assume mostly so that Senators don't do or say something that would get themselves into their own legal jeopardy. As I understand it the Chief Justice does not act as a typical trial judge in these proceedings. 1 1

B-Man Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 IMPEACHMENT? THAT’S SO 2019. Jonathan Turley: Democratic impeachment case collapses under weight of time. Securing an impeachment so fast does not earn you a historic prize. It simply earns you a historic failure. By not seeking to compel numerous key witnesses, the House now relies on the Senate to complete its case. Since the House has maintained that the record overwhelmingly proves that Trump is guilty, the Senate could simply try the case on the record supplied by the House. Indeed, in the 1999 impeachment of President Clinton, Senate Democrats, including Minority Leader Charles Schumer, fought against any witnesses and sought a summary vote without a trial. . 1
