Democrats forced to withdraw presentation of a key piece of evidentiary material as to what Republican Senator Mike Lee said he had witnessed on January 6th --- Democrats [both the House Managers and the Senate Democratic Leadership] did a whiney "sour grapes" about face saying that the matter was withdrawn because it wasn't material and necessary to prove their case against President Donald Trump
Democrat Managers put forward as a fact, an already denied and debunked charge that President Donald Trump had colluded with the Proud Boys since the fall of 2020 in preparation for the insurrection of January 6th, 2021
Several of the timeline assertions made by the Democrat Impeachment Managers defied logic and the ability of human beings to move from the Ellipse to the Capitol during the short time periods alleged in the Democrats' presentation --- and reason and logic were further stood on their head by tying together parts of President Trump's speech to contemporaneous events at the Capitol, as if President Trump's speech at the Ellipse directly involved him with what was happening contemporaneously at the Capitol --- as if a variety of those things, which were happening at the same moment that Trump was speaking, were caused by his words, because they would have naturally motivated those people at the Capitol to do those things >>> but of course, Democrats want everybody to believe that the widespread use of cellphones solved all of those logical problems of times and distances
Near the close of the Wednesday session of the so-called Senate impeachment trial, Republican Senator Mike Lee rose to object to statements attributed to him by Democrat House Impeachment Managers.
The presiding officer, Democrat Pat Leahy, appeared to rule against the objection, but when Senator Lee and other Republicans called for a full vote on whether to overrule "President Pro Tempore Leahy" and strike the matter from the record --- the body took a parliamentary deep breath and announced a quick recess --- when proceedings resumed, the Democrat Leader of the Senate announced that the House Democrat Impeachment Managers had agreed to withdraw the evidentiary material attributed to Senator Mike Lee from the record, without making any reference to the ruling on the same matter by the presiding officer.
Earlier in proceedings, Congresswoman Dean of Pennsylvania, one of the Democrat House Impeachment Managers, asserted as a fact a long ago discredited story that President Donald Trump had coordinated and colluded with the "Proud Boys" prior to the events of January 6th.
The most ridiculous assertion made by the Democrats was that many of the protestors at the Capitol were listening to the President's speech at the Ellipse on their cellphones and other handheld devices while they were engaged in breaching successive Capitol Hill Police security lines.
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "DEMOCRAT IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS SHOW THEMSELVES TO BE THE REAL DESTRUCTIVE FORCE IN THE CAPITOL" EDITION
ReplyDeleteNEVER FORGET THE HISTORIC AND GLORIOUS DAY OF JANUARY 6TH --- HOWEVER, DON'T LET THE WORDS AND ACTIONS OF A MISGUIDED FEW, WHO OBVIOUSLY ARE NOW IN FEAR OF THE PEOPLE, TAKE AWAY FROM THE PEOPLES VICTORY ON CAPITOL HILL >>> AND WHICH, THANKS TO THE DEMOCRAT MANAGERS, WE NOW KNOW ONLY ENDED WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP ASKED THE PEOPLE TO WITHDRAW
CONTRAST THE UPLIFTING EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH, WHICH ALL AGREE HAD HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE, TO THE PATHETIC, DECEITFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR OF THE HOUSE DEMOCRAT MANAGERS IN THE WELL OF THE SENATE DURING THIS SO-CALLED IMPEACHMENT TRIAL --- JUST TODAY, SOME OF THOSE MANAGERS, PERHAPS FATALLY COMPROMISED SEVERAL FEDERAL PROSECUTIONS OF MANY OF THE JANUARY 6TH DEMONSTRATORS WHO HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF ALL SORTS OF "CRIMINAL ACTIVITY"
How can people whose perhaps inculpating pictures and words have now been made part of TODAY'S national news by the House Democrat Managers receive a fair trial, when their words and acts have been made a part of a so-called "TRIAL" of President Trump, where neither the arguments nor the rules of evidence are governed by the rules by which the validity of the charges against those people ???

IMPEACHMENT UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "DEMOCRATS HAD THEIR SAY AND IT WAS MOSTLY EMOTIONAL, EMOTIVE, IMMATURE AND HYPER-BOMBASTIC RHETORIC CLOAKING AN EMPTY VESSEL" EDITON
ReplyDeleteTED CRUZ SPEAKING FOR HIMSELF, BUT CLEARLY REFLECTING HIS RUMP POLLING OF SEVERAL OTHER GOP SENATORS, SAID AT THE END OF THE DEMOCRAT PRESENTATION THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD BE CONVICTED BY THE SENATE IN THESE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
MORE IMPORTANT WAS TED CRUZ' USE OF A SHAKESPEAREAN REFERENCE THE DAY BEFORE --- THAT CAUSED NBC'S ANDREA MITCHELL TO MAKE A FOOL OF HERSELF >>> SAYING THAT THE REFERENCE WAS FROM WILLIAM FAULKNER AND NOT SHAKESPEARE <<< IGNORING THE FACT THAT FAULKNER TOOK THE TITLE OF HIS 1929 NOVEL "THE SOUND AND THE FURY" FROM A WELL-KNOWN SHAKESPEAREAN SOLILOQUY IN THE SCOTTISH PLAY
IN ANY CASE, CRUZ MIGHT EASILY HAVE AGAIN USED THE SHAKESPEAREAN "SOUND AND FURY" REFERENCE AGAIN AT THE CLOSE OF THE DEMOCRATS' CASE
Without completely analyzing why the Democrats failed to prove anything relevant to the lone article of impeachment, which they certainly did not prove at all >>> the two days of jibber-jabber by Jamie Raskin and the rest of the House Democrat Impeachment Managers, with their often uncoordinated film clips and sound bites of the events of January 6th >>> did more to [re-]incite millions upon millions of Americans that are manifestly ready to rise up against the Democrats' illegitimate regime in Washington, D.C., than anything that former President Trump had done since election night 2020 or anytime before that.....
So Cruz, Shakespeare, Falkner or anybody else might well say about the Democrats' case presented in the U.S. Senate --- It was but walking shadows of poor players that strutted and fretted for their hours upon the stage and now are heard no more.... Theirs is a tale... told by idiots, full of sound and fury... signifying nothing.....

ReplyDeleteUPDATE & BLACKFILL: THE "QUESTIONS & ANSWERS" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHE QUESTIONS PERIOD OF THE SHAM IMPEACHMENT TRIAL >>> SHOWS CLEARLY THAT NEITHER THE DEMOCRAT SENATE MAJORITY NOR THE DEMOCRAT HOUSE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS ARE CONSCIENTIOUS AND/OR SERIOUS ABOUT ANY OF THIS
INTERESTINGLY, THEY SHOWED THAT THEY WANT TO USE THESE PROCEEDINGS TO PROVE ONE THING >>> THAT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6TH WAS IN PURSUIT OF AN ALLEGED "BIG LIE" THAT THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS STOLEN
The Democrats repeatedly have had to rhetorically defend the apparent validity of their presidential election victory in 2020. If they ARE the true and rightful winners of the presidential election of 2020, why do the Democrats feel compelled to keep doing that, almost regardless of anything else.
4 Presidential impeachments in the history of America. Trump is half of them.
ReplyDeleteWe are in a sad state in the Brooklyn GOP.
ReplyDeleteGhorra is a waste of life who has no idea what he is doing, consitently lies to everyone about what he does, and does nothing - if you dont believe me, look at the GOP FB page which has no posts since October.
Ghorra is controlled 10000000% by Kassar, who is supported by two absolute losers, Georgia and Ray, who are unemployable in the private sector (and never worked anywhere) and need Ghorra to win so that their jobs will be safe.
Ghorra took credit for Bruno win, when Nick made it happen
Ghorra has no $$$ in the County Coffers and hasnt put a dime of his own money in to help move things along. Every dollar he put in he puts in as a loan and takes the money back. As a Chair he needs some skin in the game - sdont believe go online and check it out.
Ghorra ego is even larger than his toupee and that is BIG.
BUT EVEN SADDER, is that nobody wants to be Chair so by default he will probably win again so we will have 2 more years of nothing.
Time to move out of Brooklyn.....

IMPEACHMENT UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "OUTRAGEOUS ACTION BY THE U.S. SENATE" EDITION
ReplyDeleteVOTING TO AWARD CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER EUGENE GOODMAN A CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL ON FRIDAY EVENING WAS A SERIOUS BREECH OF THE SENATE'S APPEARANCE OF IMPARTIALITY DURING THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
CLEARLY, THE COOPERATION OF SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER MITCH MC CONNELL WAS A NECESSARY ELEMENT IN THE UNANIMOUS CONSENT PASSAGE OF THE AWARD DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, WHEREIN THE DEMOCRAT HOUSE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS HAD MADE OFFICER GOODMAN'S ACTION ON JANUARY 6TH A KEY ELEMENT OF THEIR CASE FOR THE CONVICTION OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer specifically related the award to Officer Goodman to the trial presentation against the former President as follows: ".... Here in this trial we saw new video, powerful video showing calmness under pressure, his courage in the line of duty, his foresight in the midst of chaos and his willingness to make himself a target of the mob's rage so that others might reach safety...."
There was absolutely no pressing need to make the award when it was done --- and clearly the timing was intended to have an impact on the outcome of the trial.
FLASH IMPEACHMENT UPDATE: THE "PHONY QUICK IMPEACHMENT TRIAL TIMING BLOWN UP BY LAST SECOND CHANGE TO HEARING FROM WITNESSES" EDITION
ReplyDeleteFIVE REPUBLICANS INCLUDING LINDSAY GRAHAM JOIN DEMOCRATS IN CALLING FOR WITNESSES
SUDDENLY THE DEMOCRAT HOUSE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS WANT TO SUBPOENA A "SURPRISE WITNESS" WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT A CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
A short while ago, the Senate moved to allow witnesses after the lead Democrat House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., called to subpoena Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., after she tweeted out a statement repeating details of what she understood to be the contents of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's call to President Trump during the Capitol siege.
Interestingly, Herrera-Beutler's tweet didn't reveal anything that hasn't already been known for weeks.
Some say that Democrats want to fix the "fatal flaw" in their case --- whether Trump intended to "incite" the demonstrators on January 6th.....
Others say that suddenly the scope of "Impeachment" proceedings might mushroom into investigations and additional matters >>> including specific acts by Democrat leadership on Capitol Hill on January 6th.

WHAT BIDEN KNOWS, WHAT HE HAS DONE ABOUT THAT KNOWLEDGE AND WHY ARE RELEVANT IN JUDGING ANY OF THE ACTS OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

LAST IMPEACHMENT UPDATE: THE "T.S. ELLIOT" EDITON
ReplyDeleteSo, the final vote was 43-57, with one Republican voting twice that this impeachment of former President Donald Trump was unconstitutional, but also voting to convict..... Will wonders never cease.
Perhaps T.S. Eliot put it the best about all the U.S. Senators, when he wrote:
".... No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool...."
[from "... Proofrock']
and of course, this:
".... This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
[from "... Hollow Men"]
OPINION: THE "THE KINDS OF PEOPLE THAT CAN'T BE TRUSTED" EDITON
ReplyDeleteIN THE WAKE OF THE RECENT ATTEMPT AT A KANGAROO IMPEACHMENT OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP --- NO SO-CALLED "JANUARY 6TH COMMISSION" PATTERNED ON THE "9/11 COMMISSION" WILL FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN CONNECTION TO THE JANUARY 6TH CAPITOL HILL FIASCO
PUTTING ANYBODY LIKE FORMER DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN LEE HAMILTON OR NEW JERSEY'S FORMER R.I.N.O. GOVERNOR THOMAS KEAN ANYWHERE HEAR SUCH A SO-CALLLED "COMMISSION" WOULD MAKE IT JUST LIKE THE LITTEL CAR IN THE CIRCUS FULL OF CLOWNS --- GOOD FOR A LAUGH AND NOT MUCH ELSE.....
THE REAL AMERICA AND REAL AMERICANS WOULD BE BETTER SERVED BY A COMMISSION HEADED BY ALEX JONES AND WHOEVER THE FOLKS AT OR BEHIND Q-ANON MIGHT BE --- AND ALL AMERICANS ON ALL SIDES WOULD BE SIGIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO GET AT MORE OF THE TRUTH
The Sunday article in the Washington Post advocating for Hamilton and Kean shows how it would be prejudiced toward steering blame in Trump's direction >>> from the get-go <<< possibly for later civil and/or criminal cases..
POST-IMPEACHMENT ACQUITAL UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "I READ IT IN THE NY TIMES, SO IT MUST BE SO" EDITION
ReplyDeleteNY TIMES LAYS OUT THE WAY FORWARD IN THE CONTINUED PURSUIT AND PERSECUTION OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP FOLLOWING THE U.S. SENATE'S >>> ACQUITAL <<< AFTER A TRIAL ON THE SINGLE ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT SENT OVER FROM THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
According to an article in today's NY Times by Alan Feuer and Nicole Hong [w/ Alan Goldman contributing], "The acquittal of former President Donald J. Trump at his second impeachment trial will hardly be the last or decisive word on his level of culpability in the assault on the Capitol last month.... While the Justice Department officials examining the rash of crimes committed during the riot have signaled that they do not plan to make Mr. Trump a focus of the investigation, the volumes of evidence they are compiling may eventually give a clearer — and possibly more damning — picture of his role in the attack.... [ ] As the sprawling investigation goes on — quite likely for months or even years — and newly unearthed evidence brings continual reminders of the riot, Mr. Trump may suffer further harm to his battered reputation, complicating any post-presidential ventures. Already, about a dozen suspects have explicitly blamed him for their part in the rampage — a number that will most likely rise as more arrests are made and legal strategies develop...."
[NOTE: THE DOJ HAS CHARGED APROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED DEFENDANTS TO DATE..... THE FBI AND OTHER INVESTIGATORS HAVE MANY MORE OPEN CASE FILES; AND MOST LIKELY, MANY MORE "SUSPECTS/ SUBJECTS" WILL BE CHARGED BY THE DOJ..... ALSO THERE MIGHT BE A CATEGORY OF JANUARY 6TH PARTICIPANTS AT CAPITOL HILL CHARGED WITH LESSER CRIMES AND VIOLATIONS BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN WASHINGTON, D.C., PURSUANT TO VIOLATIONS OF LOCAL ORDINANCES AND ORDERS.....]
