It’s pretty crazy that the Democrats were so hot to impeach President Trump — because he was an immediate threat to the security of the Republic or something — but now Speaker Pelosi doesn’t want to send her victory to the Senate.
It’s not exactly news that the Republican-run Senate will not be friendly to the idea of removing a president who has made the economy hum like a bee. Did Nan really think that days of fake testimony from a bunch of snoozers during her inquiry phase was going to convince the public that Trump is a Putin puppet and/or Ukraine has undue influence in the White House?
It’s good to see Jeff Sessions out in public again since he is running for his old Senate seat (as I predicted he might when he was fired). He opined about the dynamics of the sudden withdrawal of the House from going forward with the wacko impeachment process that Pelosi initiated.
TUCKER CARLSON: Jeff Sessions spent decades in the United States Senate before becoming the country’s Attorney General. He’s now running for Senate once again from the state of Alabama from which he joins us tonight. Senator, thanks so much for coming on. What do you make of this? What why are Democrats suddenly telling us after all these years that they don’t want to pass the articles on to the Senate?
JEFF SESSIONS: One reason may well be, Tucker, that they can imagine what it’s going to be like on the floor of the Senate. I remember when the Clinton impeachment went forward, and I was in the Senate.
Lindsey Graham was a congressman and one of the presenters, the managers of the case. They laid out, based on a record in the House, a detailed prosecution basically of three separate felonies that Clinton had committed, and I believe they proved it beyond a reasonable doubt to a moral certainty, and I just can’t imagine what would happen when you end up with one of these vague charges like abuse of power or obstruction of justice.
It all could even be laughable — if they were going to back off, it would be so much better for America had they done it before they voted this impeachment. That does damage to our country to weaken the moral authority and the constitutional requirements of impeachment.
CARLSON: Well it’s also confusing as heck, if I can say, and bizarre — so they spend three years shouting about this, we go through the whole rigmarole of passing these charges in effect and now they’re telling us that they don’t want to press them. So why did they do that? Wouldn’t it have been easier is to keep screeching and not go through the process of impeachment?
SESSIONS: Absolutely. I thought they might even do that. Then it became clear to me, and the articles of impeachment themselves prove there’s not a basis for an impeachment here. It’s just an absolute abuse, and why they didn’t stop before they voted this way I cannot imagine. Now they made it even worse by voting impeachment, and now losing their nerve when they have to present on the weak case.
CARLSON: So you are running for Senate in Alabama, but as noted, you spent literally decades in the Senate. You know virtually everyone in it. So with the deep knowledge you have of the body, tell us how likely you think it is that if these charges make it to the Senate, the president will be convicted and removed.
SESSIONS: I think there’s zero chance. It’s so easy for Republicans to prove and establish, and they will in their speeches and in the record they produce that this is not a justifiable impeachment. The American people need to fully understand this is not a justifiable impeachment. Abuse of power because the president made me angry is not a basis for impeachment. (Continues)
