Says House’s “impeachment in search of articles” is “the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair” impeachment inquiry in modern history
YOUTUBE — In a historic speech Thursday on the Senate floor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell described "partisan rage" – rather than rational, deliberative process – as the driving force behind House Democrats' impeachment of President Donald Trump Wednesday, which the GOP leader repeatedly characterized as "rushed," "thin," and "weak." He called the three-year-long process that began before the president took office an "impeachment in search of articles" and said the past 12 weeks have been "the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history." Citing compelling factual and historical evidence, McConnell made clear the Senate has a duty to reject House Democrats' "toxic new precedent that[, if not repudiated,] will echo well into the future."...

BREITBART — The top Senate Republican is denouncing the "unfair" House impeachment of President Donald Trump and reassuring Trump and his supporters that "moments like this are why the United States Senate exists." Sen. Mitch McConnell, in remarks prepared for a Thursday floor speech, accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being afraid to send "their shoddy work product to the Senate" after she threw uncertainty into the impeachment process by refusing to say when she would send two impeachment articles to the Senate for a trial....

FOX NEWS — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell set the stage Thursday for a potentially bruising fight between the leadership of the two chambers over impeachment, as he tore into Nancy Pelosi for "shoddy work" and said Democrats may be "too afraid" to send the articles to the Senate after the House speaker abruptly held off on transmitting them....

ANDREW MCCARTHY — I'll confess: Last night, when I was first told that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was toying with the idea of not delivering the two articles of impeachment voted by the House against President Trump, I assumed it was a joke. For these last weeks, the Democrat-dominated chamber has been in a mad rush to impeach the president. Democrats even tacked on article two -- "obstruction of Congress" -- because, they told us, time could not be wasted engaging in the usual negotiation and litigation over legislative demands for executive branch information. Trump is a clear and present threat to "continue" undermining our elections, we were admonished. That's why he needs to be impeached right now. That's why the political class cannot responsibly leave his fate up to the sovereign, the People, who will vote in November.... (more)

After breaking with Democrats on impeachment, Rep. Jeff Van Drew decided to join the GOP
POLITICO — Rep. Jeff Van Drew on Thursday formally became a Republican, pledging his "undying support" for Donald Trump as the ex-Democrat sat next to the president in the White House. "I believe that this is just a better fit for me," the New Jersey lawmaker said, following a meeting with Trump on Thursday afternoon. "This is who I am."... (more)

NEW YORK POST — It is said there are two things you should never watch being made: sausage and government budgets. Now we can add impeachment to the list of stomach-turning sights to avoid. The arcane rules, phony cordiality and debates over the second sentence in paragraph G of Point Six were bad enough, but the nausea meter hit the roof when Nancy Pelosi took the microphone. Wearing a funereal black dress, she stood next to a cardboard American flag and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Nancy Pelosi shot down cheers from her own party with a stare and a hand gesture as she gaveled in the passage of the first article of impeachment against President Trump Wednesday night. As she announced the Democrats had garnered 230 "yea" votes on the article accusing Trump of using his office for personal gain, jubilant Democrats began to cheer and clap.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — To grasp the weakness and poverty of the Democrats' impeachment effort, you don't need to listen to the Republican responses. You simply need to read the impeachment articles themselves. They tell the story of a party that was always planning to impeach President Trump and which has now settled on intentionally vague and airy charges. Why? Because Democrats are preemptively trying to avoid political accountability for what they are about to do.... (more)

JOAN SWIRSKY — There is nothing new about the fanatical hatred of Jews that we see playing out in today's world -- literally a pandemic of anti-Semitism which echoes the fear and loathing that gave rise to the over-4,000-year history of the Inquisition, the Crusades, centuries of pogroms, the expulsion of Jews from country after country, and the Holocaust of the 20th century in which six-million Jews were savagely incinerated in the crematoria of Hitler's Germany, as the entire world -- including U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt -- looked on and did nothing!... (more)

BYRON YORK — The Democratic drive to remove President Trump reached a milestone during the House Judiciary Committee's marathon hearing to approve two articles of impeachment. At some moment during that 14-hour session, it became abundantly clear that no one involved in the argument had anything new to say. In the absence of any original evidence or arguments, lawmakers on both sides simply said the same things they've been saying for the past two months, over and over and over.... (more)

YOUTUBE — Hamilton Gregory, author of "McNamara's Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam," discusses his book at Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College October 8, 2015.

Headline could have read instead: 'I'll do whatever they [Mitch and Lindsey] want to do, it doesn't matter,' as Trump made clear to the media
RENEWAMERICA STAFF — In an obvious distortion of the truth in an attempt to embarrass President Donald Trump, Yahoo ran an article Friday with the headline: "Trump: 'I'll do whatever I want' during Senate impeachment trial." The sensational headline was featured front and center at Drudge. In reality, the president was weighing merely whether to have a long or a short impeachment trial in the GOP-controlled Senate, and he meant nothing like what the misleading headline trumpeted....
