Republican Flake’s statement ‘completely nonsense’: Analyst

2019-09-30

[PRESSTV] An American political analyst has rejected as "completely nonsense" the former Republican Senator Jeff Flake
...Republican junior senator from Arizona, elected in 2012. Prior to that he was a U.S. Representative for twelve years...
’s statement that at least 35 Republican senators would vote to impeach President Donald Trump

...the Nailer of NAFTA...
and remove him from office if they could vote privately, saying that the numbers would definitely fail to reach a quorum for impeachment proceeding at the Senate.

Daniel Patrick Welch made the comments in an interview with Press TV on Saturday, after Flake ‐ a frequent critic of Trump ‐ predicted that close to three dozen Republican senators would back in private the Republican president’s impeachment.

"It’s nothing but public; It’s an absolutely and extremely public event, and there is no way on God’s green earth that 35 would vote publicly to convict this president, probably any president," Welch said.

"The whole thing is going nowhere, there is no way, you need 67 votes to convict in the Senate and there is absolutely no way to get there; so, it’s about the political theater, about chaining Trump to accept the narrative for the election campaign," he added.

#7 If you can impeach a sitting President for being in the "wrong" party then what keeps you from Purging members of the "wrong" party from Congress, hmm?

The Final step after the Purge of Congress is the Enabling Acts(1933) because it is so, so easy to reach a two-thirds majority when you can impeach the Opposition at will. The Left loves "One Man, One Vote, One Time"...

#4 With these comments, the anti-Trumpers in both parties are playing with fire.

We're edging closer and closer to a repeat of Brooks vs Sumner in the Senate. Or Bleeding Kansas, 21st century version.

This is getting out of hand.
