More bad news for Biden!

Iowa - Buttigieg +9
Hew Hampshire - Warren +9

As stated before, Biden can probably afford to lose one or the other, or even both if the margins are very close. But he cannot afford to get blown out in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Right now Biden is "barely" holding on to third place in Iowa, and Warren has surged past him in New Hampshire.


If he were to lose by double digits (or thereabouts) and fall down to 3rd or 4th place in either state, the momentum would certainly be a problem. Primary seasons are all about expectations, momentum, and to a large degree controlling the narrative.

Much of American (who sees Biden as the frontrunner today) would be surprised if he falters in early states. Biden (as much as any candidate in recent times) is the frontrunner because he is known as the frontrunner. I don't believe there is necessarily a "good" reason for this status.

Furthermore, Biden has struggled in the spotlight, and we have not had a debate in some time now. Things have been quiet and he has stayed out of view... yet still appears to be dropping. Perhaps it is the fact that Hunter, Burisma, and Joe himself keep coming up in the impeachment hearings. But if that is the case, then Quid Pro Joe will be in big trouble if impeachment goes to the Senate for Trial.

How about having the President to testify under oath?


Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited President Donald Trump to testify in front of investigators in the House impeachment inquiry ahead of a week that will see several key witnesses appear publicly.

Pushing back against accusations from the president that the process has been stacked against him, Pelosi said Trump is welcome to appear or answer questions in writing, if he chooses.

“If he has information that is exculpatory, that means ex, taking away, culpable, blame, then we look forward to seeing it,” she said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Trump “could come right before the committee and talk, speak all the truth that he wants if he wants,” she said.


Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer echoed that suggestion.

“If Donald Trump doesn’t agree with what he’s hearing, doesn’t like what he’s hearing, he shouldn’t tweet. He should come to the committee and testify under oath. And he should allow all those around him to come to the committee and testify under oath,” Schumer told reporters. He said the White House’s insistence on blocking witnesses from cooperating begs the question: “What is he hiding?”

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Oh boy! Yes! Let the President himself testify! And tell him he can bring as many lawyers as he wants! And suggest/insist he has Giuliani sitting right there beside him!

Oh yes! Oh yes!

Otherwise, WHAT IS HE HIDING?

Things change so quickly in the Social media era, it's hard to make projections accurately.

Obama said that the Democrats have to nominate someone who promises to get them what they want from the government.

Mayor Pete offers a moderate Democratic policy plan.

Obama did the same thing in 2006 and he was elected twice. He beat Hillary Clinton in the primary and Mayor Pete may be doing the same thing.

Will we elect an openly gay President?

Hunter, Burisma, and Joe Biden will not testify under oath in the Senate trial.

So will they defy a Senate subpoena?

Unlike subpoenaing the President in regards to official business (which can be argued to be an invasion of executive privilege)...

Joe Biden cannot use that same excuse. If he were to attempt to suggest that Hunter's business in Ukraine fell under official US Presidential executive privilege, he would be admitting Hunter secured something from the White House.


Hunter Biden is most certainly fair game and has no legitimate legal reason to not testify under oath in a Senate Hearing if he is subpoenaed.


For that reason alone you can expect the Senate GOP to subpoena both Hunter and Joe... just to see what excuse they come up with to defy it!

Unless, of course, they have nothing to hide! Then they should come testify.



The Democrats will not have any means to block a subpoena from ranking majority members.

Roger...

The "entire" argument being made is that there is something corrupt about the idea of investigating Burisma Holdings.

You cannot make such an allegation and then say that the accused has no ability to defend against those allegations. Democrats cannot just demand such a thing to be admitted into a court as "fact" just because they say so.

They would have two choices under Chief Roberts...

One would be to admit that they are not attempting to prove that a Burisma holdings investigation would be corrupt (in which case they allow their entire case to fall apart).

or they say that this is their argument... at which point the President gets to make his defense and show the Jury (Senate) why he believes that the investigation is warranted!


Not sure why you think the Chief Justice would just allow an opinion (not proven in his court) to be just entered as fact? He is not going to accept an anonymous source from WaPo or NYT when there are sworn statements on record in international courts from the fired Prosecutor General that state he was pressured to end Burisma investigation by the former President and eventually fired because of Joe Biden.

Please explain why Roberts would just accept the Democrat's argument?

Trump Calls Pence Aide a ‘NEVER TRUMPER’
November 17, 2019 at 5:45 pm EST

“President Trump on Sunday labeled one of his vice president’s TOP NATIONAL SECURITY AIDES a ‘Never Trumper,’ a day after it was disclosed that she had said the president’s July call with Ukraine was ‘unusual and inappropriate’ in a deposition to Congress, Politico reports.

“Trump tweeted that the aide, Jennifer Williams — ‘whoever that is,’ he said — should read the transcripts of both his calls with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine: the July 25 call at the center of the impeachment inquiry, as well as an initial April 21 call that the White House released a summary of Friday.”

Inside Democrats’ Week 2 Impeachment Strategy
November 17, 2019 at 7:14 pm EST

“Democrats are approaching Week 2 of impeachment hearings with one key goal: show MORE of President Trump’s DIRECT INVOLVEMENT in the scheme to tie Ukrainian aid to an investigation of Joe Biden’s son,” Axios reports.

“Of the eight officials testifying next week, the one with the most known direct interactions with Trump is EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland. The Trump megadonor already had to amend his testimony once. He may be the most legally vulnerable, and he has spoken with Trump about the investigations.

“At least two others — National Security Council top Ukraine expert Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and former Trump Russia adviser Fiona Hill — also have the potential to offer key details from within the White House, with one Democratic official describing them as this week’s star witnesses."

The GOP strategy: “Republicans’ goal this week is to create as much distance as possible between President Trump and the witnesses and make the case that Trump himself never specifically ordered a halt on aid to Ukraine with the intention of forcing a political investigation.”

Sondland Kept Officials Apprised of Ukraine Push
November 17, 2019 at 7:26 pm EST

“A U.S. ambassador set to testify this week in the House impeachment inquiry kept several Trump administration officials apprised of his effort to get Ukraine to launch investigations that President Trump would later discuss in a July call with his Ukrainian counterpart,” emails reviewed by the Wall Street Journal show.

“Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union who will be one of eight witnesses to testify in the inquiry’s second week of open hearings, is one of several people who has linked a holdup of security aid to Ukraine over the summer with investigations that Mr. Trump sought.

“Mr. Sondland kept several top officials—including acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Energy Secretary Rick Perry—apprised of that push, according to the emails reviewed by the Journal, in the weeks leading up to Mr. Trump’s July 25 phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart that spurred a whistleblower complaint and, ultimately, the impeachment probe.”

AGAIN? Yes, AGAIN.

“House Republicans, bracing for another week of impeachment hearings, asserted on Sunday that President Trump had done nothing wrong because his plans for Ukraine to investigate his political rivals never came to fruition — even as the president complicated their efforts by attacking another witness,” the New York Times reports.

“On a day of back-and-forth on Twitter and the morning television talk shows… Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited Mr. Trump to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, while the president’s allies shifted their emphasis away from the defense they offered last week, when they stressed that witnesses had only secondhand information against him.

“That argument may not work much longer, because lawmakers are about to hear from crucial witnesses who had DIRECT contact with the president.”

Well, the President could always testify DIRECTLY himself. Speaker Pelosi has even GRACIOUSLY invited him to do so.

If you didn't have your head up Trump's asshole, you would support this

A handful of prominent conservative and libertarian attorneys are banding together to form Checks and Balances, a group that grew from their need to publicly reaffirm the importance of the rule of law, which they feel is being threatened by the Trump administration.

The group, organized by George T. Conway III, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, rallies behind the notion that it is important for lawyers who see President Trump’s actions as unconstitutional to speak up.

“There is a deep-seated concern and uneasiness in conservative legal circles with the president’s attacks on our institutions, including the press and the Department of Justice, and a belief that conservative lawyers are not speaking up enough,” John B. Bellinger, top legal adviser for the State Department and National Security Council under President George W. Bush, told The Post.

AD

This effort was intended to stimulate discussion among conservative lawyers around the country, particularly as the Federalist Society gathers for its annual conference in Washington on Thursday.

Having three functioning branches of government is the healthiest way for a democracy to work, said Marisa Maleck, a former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Since Trump took office, he has repeatedly attempted to consolidate the power of those branches himself, she said.

“The worst part about it is that he normalizes it. Most people don’t realize what he’s doing poses a threat to a constitutional democracy,”


It's never been about polices, I don't want the President to be above the law!

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Gordon Sondland will testify under oath very soon.

If most of the President's staff were aware of that before the infamous phone call, we are getting closer to first hand knowledge!

(CNN)The US Ambassador to the European Union kept several Trump administration officials briefed on his attempts to get Ukraine to launch investigations later discussed in Trump's July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, emails reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show.


The emails reviewed by the Journal show Gordon Sondland -- who testified last month he was directed by Trump to work with Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine -- kept acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Energy Secretary Rick Perry informed of his push for the country to launch investigations in the weeks leading up to Trump's July 25 call with his Ukrainian counterpart.

A rough transcript of the call released by the White House shows Trump repeatedly pushed Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump's potential 2020 political rival, and his son Hunter Biden.

Why is Schiff blocking his testimony


Schiff's own "witnesses" admit the company is corrupt, that Ukraine is perhaps the most corrupt country on the planet. Yet VP Biden who for some reason is "overseeing" US aid to this corrupt country, wants the individual looking into this company (and therefore his son and Kerry's relative as well as Romney's) goes and has aid withheld if he isn't fired. Stops the investigation and leaves all the corruption in place. Speaks volumes.

An overwhelming 70% of Americans think President Donald Trump’s request to a foreign leader to investigate his political rival, which sits at the heart of the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry, was wrong, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds.

A slim majority of Americans, 51%, believe Trump’s actions were both wrong and he should be impeached and removed from office. But only 21% of Americans say they are following the hearings very closely.





In addition to the 51%, another 19% think that Trump's actions were wrong, but that he should either be impeached by the House but not removed from office, or be neither impeached by the House nor convicted by the Senate. The survey also finds that 1 in 4 Americans, 25%, think that Trump did nothing wrong.

Still, nearly 1 in 3, 32%, say they made up their minds about impeaching the president before the news broke about Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in which Trump urged his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

Trump impeachment: President says he will ‘strongly consider’ testifying in inquiry
President responds to offer by Nancy Pelosi saying he may give evidence despite not wanting to give credibility to ‘witch-hunt’

Donald Trump has claimed he will “strongly consider” testifying to Congress in the ongoing impeachment inquiry to remove him.

He tweeted: “Our Crazy, Do Nothing (where’s USMCA, infrastructure, lower drug pricing & much more?) Speaker of the House, Nervous Nancy Pelosi, who is petrified by her Radical Left knowing she will soon be gone (they & Fake News Media are her BOSS), suggested on Sunday’s DEFACE THE NATION....

Trump turns everyone into trash.

It seems like every story you read about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo always includes the sentence that he graduated “first in his class” from West Point. That is not a small achievement. But it is even more impressive in Pompeo’s case when you consider that he finished No. 1 even though he must have flunked all his courses on ethics and leadership. I guess he was really good in math.

I say that because Pompeo has just violated one of the cardinal rules of American military ethics and command: You look out for your soldiers, you don’t leave your wounded on the battlefield and you certainly don’t stand mute when you know a junior officer is being railroaded by a more senior commander, if not outright shot in her back.

The classes on ethics and leadership at West Point would have taught all of that. I can only assume Pompeo failed or skipped them all when you observe his cowardly, slimy behavior as the leader of the State Department. I would never, ever, ever want to be in a trench with that man. Attention all U.S. diplomats: Watch your own backs, because Pompeo won’t be.

If I were one of those OFFICIALS, facing possible jail time for perjury, I would want simply to TELL THE TRUTH.

SO, he's trying to keep them from testifying and of course he would NEVER have the courage to testify himself and tell, as Pelosi said, whatever "truth" he wants to tell.

WHAT HAS HE GOT TO HIDE?
