| Roger Stone Says You're ‘Naive' If You Think A Trump Senate Acquittal Is Automatic. |
| 2019-10-28 |
| [Townhall] ...And those who want to see Trump removed wouldn’t just need a simple majority, something that could be obtained even without the votes of RINO squishes like Romney, Collins, and Murkowski, but a SUPER majority, or 67 senators. In other words, 20, yes 20 Republican senators would have to defect and vote to remove Trump in order to make it happen. So we’re safe, right? ... Right?? Uh, not so fast! At least that’s what embattled Trump confidante Roger Stone says, warning Trump via a Friday media interview to take the ongoing impeachment inquiry "very seriously" and not to assume an automatic Senate acquittal. The former Trump associate speculated that "wobbly Republican senators" could vote against the president unless pressure from their constituents is brought to bear. ...Stone said the notion that anything in Washington these days is simply "Republicans vs Democrats" is "outdated thinking." "This is insiders versus an outsider," he said. "This is the status quo versus a disruptor." So, is Stone onto something here? I sure would love to say no way, that is if my Daily Caller colleagues hadn’t contacted EVERY SINGLE Republican Senate office just last week to ask them if they would rule out impeaching and removing Trump from office. Out of 53 senators, how many do you think responded in the affirmative? Twenty? Thirty? How about ... seven. Sure the voters will butcher them afterwards - but are they un-delusional enough to grasp this? |

| #2 P2K: You might be right about the Jonestown analogy. We don't know what will come from Declass and Durham and Barr yet. |
