All of it. Collins, Romney....the other RINO fricks. They knew this was coming and probably helped orchestrate it. I will bet that there is a script that is going to end up coming damn close to getting DJT removed for complete b.s. The DNC is ruthless and well organized. The RNC better get this shite gone sooner rather than later. Pisses me off...but I knew Collins and Romney would jump at anything to drag this forward. (And you can bet they will jump at anything to try to save face while voting to remove DJT.)

This is all still relies on republicans voting to remove. I can't believe any of them are that stupid.

I do think it ends in a strongly worded admonishment so that Collins can pretend she did something.

It's amazing how the Republicans are outmaneuvered at every turn.

Oh, wait. It's not an accident.

Completely by design.

This assumes Republicans hands are clean. I would bet money they aren't.

All they need is a good excuse to vote against him. Otherwise he threatens the entire scheme.

No. Trump is not a "smooth" politician and handled this awkwardly. Dems are their usual "'faux outrage, blow everything out of proportion, TDS suffering' asshats and have taken this way too far.

Trump will not come CLOSE to being removed.

Could be baiting Trump into having to invoke EP.

Then this drags on sidelining Bernie.

There is no freaking way there will be 67 votes to convict.

Calm down.

I would wager that there are quite a few republicans working with democrats behind the scenes to come up with something, anything that would justify a vote for removal.

It might not be enough to actually remove, but you have to know some shady shite is going down.

I would ask Bolton and every other witness if they are willing to take a lie detector test...

Collins isn't a leader, though. This is Romney, I'll wager. He's whipping up votes for witnesses (and, ultimately, removal) behind the scenes. Now, it's not what Utah sent him to the senate for, but he doesn't care.

Still a long road to 67, but never underestimate the power of Republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, particularly in the United States Senate.

Trump's people may have leaked it to get Bolton on the record (in the press and not break Executive Privilege) and force Hunter Biden to testify.

Even if all the RINO's vote to remove, they are still well short.

It will involve some people destroying their careers.

The only thing I can think of is the Reps are trying to keep Warren and Sanders off the campaign trail

I’ve got 20 bucks that says Hillary is the man behind that particular curtain.

She’s behind the scenes, spinning her little webs, looking for any opening. Book it.

You better believe this ain’t the last round of ammo either. They have more.

I said yesterday when people were claiming there was a .02% chance of witnesses being called that I would not be surprised how this ends up, including another anonymous whistleblower or some other bombshell to open or expand or further investigations. This will not come to a clean end.

I would expect a continuation of the whole charade through the summer and into the fall.

We aren’t even close to the end.

Except that lie detectors are easily fooled, no?
