Rubio: ‘Possible’ We Have Senate Impeachment Vote by Sunday Morning

TRENT BAKER12 Feb 202186

During a Friday appearance on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) discussed the Senate impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump.

Rubio, who is voting to acquit Trump of the allegations of inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last month, warned the country will “regret” ruling the impeachment of someone no longer in office is constitutional.

“Even assuming Congress did have the constitutional power to impeach and remove a former official, it shouldn’t, and here’s why. It’s the creation of a new political weapon that will. We will see used. We’ll regret creating that weapon. One day, it’ll be used by a Democratic Senate to disqualify a former cabinet member who wants to challenge a Democratic incumbent. And one day, it’ll be used by a former Republican, future Republican Senate to disqualify a Democratic vice president from running for president. We’ll regret creating that tool. Donald Trump is now a private citizen. And if in fact, he has committed crimes as the House managers claim he has, then he is answerable to the civil and criminal courts of this country — no longer to the Senate.”

Rubio also suggested there should be a vote “as early as” Saturday night “or maybe Sunday morning.”

“I think it appears from press reports that the president’s lawyers are going to wrap up today and get to questions, so it’s possible that we could have a vote as early as tomorrow night or maybe Sunday morning, it looks like,” he advised.

Nope, not watching a single minute of the whole sh*t show since it started.

I've seen all the demon-crats self destruct and act like they are 3 year old waaaaaayyyyyyy to many times in the last 14 years.

Anyone with 1/2 a working brain has watched what they've done and said, knows the truth is not in them.

They all have major malfunctions in the big grey gland that sets on their shoulders and have no morals!

Unless they can get a few more RINO's this was doomed from the start and the demon-crats knew it before they started.

They'll never give up their Orange Man Bad visceral hatred and when they lose again this time, will still keep coming at him and any who disagree with them. The only bad part is they have the full power of the deep state government again and are bound to destroy the whole country.

During Friday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Fox News @ Night,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) applaud the Trump defense team during the impeachment trial underway in the U.S. Senate.

Cotton commended the team’s use of Democrat senators’ own words.

“[L]et me just say what I’ve said since the day the House passed this rushed article of impeachment,” he said. “I think it’s beyond the Senate’s constitutional authority to have a trial to convict and remove from office a man who left office now more than three weeks ago. The second I have to say, the president’s lawyers did a very good job today rebutting the specific charges in that article, as well as highlighting the lack of due process in the House and to a certain degree in the Senate trial as well.”

“They also hoist a lot of Democrats in their own petard,” Cotton continued. “I got to tell you, there are a lot of uncomfortable looks and shifting seats on the Democratic side of the Senate chamber as they played clips of people like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders repeatedly saying that they’re going to fight for this and fight for that. And other senators talking about punching people in the face. Or, for that matter, Kamala Harris talking about how violent unrest in our streets last year was not going to stop, as her own campaign was trying to bail out violent felons. So, I thought was a very strong day for the President’s attorneys today.”

Cassidy just voted Guilty. Bye b*tch.

It’s a given that the Traitorous Six will vote to convict.

Watching the voting now. It's a farce of epic proportions.

‘Total Sh*t Show’: Ernst Says Republicans Will Drag Out Trial if Democrats Want Witnesses

Sen. Joni Ernst called Saturday's impeachment trial proceedings a "total sh*t show" and promised to drag out the trial if necessary.

‘Total Sh*t Show’: Joni Ernst Says Republicans Will Drag Out Trial if Democrats Want Additional Impeachment Witnesses

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) said Saturday that the Senate voting for additional witnesses turned the impeachment trial into a “total shit show” and said that if Democrats want more witnesses, then Republicans will drag out the trial.

Ernst spoke to a reporter after the Senate voted to approve witnesses for former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial. The approval of additional witnesses will likely delay the impeachment trial, which could have concluded on Saturday if the Senate did not want to subpoena additional witnesses. The Senate still has to decide on which witnesses it wishes to subpoena, which further complicates the Senate’s proceedings.

Ernst, the Senate GOP vice chair, called the vote a “total, total shit show.”

She called the approval of additional witnesses a “tool of revenge” against the 45th president.
The Iowa conservative then promised that if Democrats wish to extend the impeachment trial against Trump, then they will also drag out the trial. She also promised to block the consideration of potential nominees.

“If they want to drag this out, we’ll drag it out. They won’t get their noms, they won’t get anything,” Ernst said.

“Dems had agreed to know [sic] witnesses, then House Managers changed their mind this morning. Schumer blindsided. Pandemonium. They’re negotiating now to figure out next steps,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said in a statement on Saturday.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) echoed this sentiment on Saturday. Graham voted for additional witnesses.

“It is my firm belief that the House Managers are trying to investigate the case AFTER it was brought to the Senate. It is better for the country to go to a final vote,” Graham wrote in a statement on Saturday.

“However, if the body wants witnesses, I am going to insist we have multiple witnesses,” he added.

He asked rhetorically, “We can start with Speaker Pelosi to answer the question as to whether or not there was credible evidence of pre-planned violence before President Trump spoke? Whether Speaker Pelosi, due to optics, refused requests by the Capitol Hill Police for additional resources like the National Guard?”

“Her testimony is incredibly relevant to the incitement charge,” he added.

Kevin McCarthy, Donald Trump Call Erupted in Shouting Match over Riots

Report: Kevin McCarthy, Donald Trump Call Erupted into Expletive-Filled Shouting Match over January 6 Riots

A phone call between then-President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) during the January 6 riots erupted into an expletive-filled shouting match, according to a CNN report released Friday.

While rioters entered the Capitol building, Trump told McCarthy during a call that the rioters cared more about election integrity more than the House GOP leader.

“Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,” Trump said, according to lawmakers familiar with the call.

McCarthy then said that rioters were Trump supporters and urged him to implore them to leave.

Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described the conversation between Trump and McCarthy as a shouting match.

According to GOP lawmakers familiar with the call, as rioters were reportedly breaking into his office through the windows, McCarthy told Trump, “Who the f**k do you think you’re talking to?”

Republican lawmakers said the phone call reveals that Trump did not want to call off the rioters.

“He is not a blameless observer. He was rooting for them,” a GOP lawmaker said. “On January 13, Kevin McCarthy said on the floor of the House that the President bears responsibility and he does.”

This conversation between McCarthy and Trump was first mentioned by Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler during a town hall last week. Herrera Beutler and nine House Republicans voted to impeach Trump in January.

“That line right there demonstrates to me that either he didn’t care, which is impeachable, because you cannot allow an attack on your soil, or he wanted it to happen and was OK with it, which makes me so angry,” Herrera Beutler told CNN.

“We should never stand for that, for any reason, under any party flag,” she said.

“To the patriots who were standing next to the former president as these conversations were happening, or even to the former vice president: if you have something to add here, now would be the time,” Herrera Beutler said in a statement on Friday, urging others to divulge more information they might know about the conversations between then-Vice President Mike Pence and Trump on January 6.

The Senate voted Saturday to call for additional witnesses during the impeachment trial. It remains likely the Senate will subpoena Beutler and have her testify for the trial.

BREAKING: Senate Votes 57-43 to ACQUIT Donald Trump – Here Are the SEVEN Republicans Who Voted to Convict

By Cristina Laila
Published February 13, 2021 at 2:53pm

Donald Trump has been acquitted…AGAIN!

The second show trial of Donald Trump has come to an end.

The Senate voted 57-43 to acquit Donald Trump on Saturday.

Here are the 7 Republicans who voted to convict Trump:

Burr
Cassidy
Collins
Murkowski
Romney
Sasse
Toomey

The House impeachment managers folded Saturday morning and backed off witnesses after Trump’s legal team announced that Speaker Pelosi would be called in to testify.

The Democrats went straight to closing arguments because they have no case and they wanted to protect Nancy Pelosi.

Trump’s legal team absolutely destroyed the Democrats this week when they plated a video montage of Democrat lawmakers inciting violence against Trump supporters.
