In the intense game of poker being played by Democrats and Republicans over the Trump Impeachment, it looks like sly old Mitch McConnell has been beaten by a woman named Nancy.
Tonite, Pelosi finally showed her aces. After months of Republican smuggery around the ultimate conclusion and quiet death of the Trump impeachment – the McConnell trial plan was the quick acquittal of Trump resulting in the complete diffusing of the entire impeachment process.
The McConnell plan was to acquit Trump based on “lack of evidence” produced during the House procedures. Of course, Trump’s refusal to allow witness testimony and the withholding of ALL relevant documents was the reason for any perceived “lack of evidence”.
McConnell and Trump thought they had won the poker hand – until Pelosi showed her aces tonite. The Dems have apparently decided to HOLD the impeachment articles from being introduced to the Senate until rules favorable to witnesses and documents are clearly established.
I for one, NEVER saw this coming! And I’ll bet you 3 to 1, neither did McConnell or Trump!
Trump has been TRUMPED – he now must either agree to allow White House aides and possibly even Pence himself to testify under oath, and also agree to the release of innumerable documents which will reveal much more evidence against him, or lose his opportunity for redemption and kudos for 2020.
The Dems can now take their time – continue to subpoena witnesses and documents, and continue the investigations into Trump while he makes up his mind.
Time is now on the Dems side.
Trump is now FOREVER IMPEACHED, and cannot be acquitted without a Senate trial.
Sweet move Nancy.
