According to leading members of the GOP, the evidence against President Trump in the Democratic driven impeachment inquiry is collapsing like the proverbial deck of cards.
For example, during a Sunday interview, Representative Chris Stewart was heard to say that the evidence the Democrats are looking to find against President Trump is “crumbling.” Stewart said there was no evidence building, as you might expect in a criminal trial, or a grand jury investigation, during the ongoing impeachment hearings.
He pointed to Marie Yovanovitch’s testimony last week, where she told lawmakers she had no knowledge of criminal activity related to the Trump administration. The Republican representative from Utah, accused Democrats of reaching for reasons to impeach President Trump. He added the longer the public hearings go on, the less Americans will support impeachment — because the evidence just doesn’t support it.
“I think the Democrats know they’re in trouble on this — which is why we keep moving the goal post,” stated Stewart. “We went from some supposed quid pro quo, and as you said, tying these investigations to withholding military aid — but we know that didn’t happen.”
Similarly, GOP “attack dog,” representative Jim Jordan came to the president’s defense, saying there was never a quid pro quo. Also on Sunday, Jordan pointed out Ukraine’s president met with U.S. senior officials multiple times before the security aid was released. He said aid was never talked about being linked to investigations in those meetings. Jordan suggested the funding was released after officials became convinced Ukraine’s president was the “real deal” and not corrupt. He also noted the aid was provided before it actually had to be.
“The Ukrainians did nothing to get the aid released,” stated Jordan. “There was never this quid pro quo — that the Democrats all promised existed — before President Trump released the [transcript of] their phone call.”
Following up on Jordan’s sentiments, as regards to the alleged “quid pro quo”, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise slammed the dubious claims that the commander-in-chief cared more about investigating the Bidens than Ukraine policy. Scalise pointed out that in the original transcript of the phone call that Trump released, President Zelensky thanked President Trump for all he’s done to help Ukraine. He stressed this included when the White House sold javelin missiles to Ukraine to help the country stand up to Russia. He also noted the Obama administration had refused to sell Ukraine those missiles.
Scalise also pointed out the law required President Trump to ensure Ukraine is rooting out corruption before any taxpayer money went to the nation.
Maybe if it were a house of bricks that was crumbling on them, it might make an impression. Their heads are a little boney for some cards to get their attention.
ALL I SEE IS DEMOCRATS WASTING THE TAXPAYERS MONEY IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW
Another ‘nothing burger’;;;;suppositions and hear say do not stand up in trials.
Perhaps you guys have been watching a different round of hearings than I have. The ones I’ve been watching makes very clear that President Trump committed impeachable offenses and I would expect all members of the House and Senate to vote to impeach the blight on our Presidency.
Richard you watch to much CNN fake news..
Anyone else notice all these people testifying have or have had ties to Russia.
Of course! Glad to hear that
It would certainly be about time!!! About time to prosecute these Dems, and for President Trump to carry out the lawsuit, and win HUGELY. I know he would return the money back to the taxpayers and social security, and not keep much, if any for himself. TRUMP from now on!
I’m voting for Trump.
Yawn. The only time these hearings have held any interest is when the Republicans were able to ask questions. I meam when they weren’t being stopped by bugged eye pos schitt. This is such a travisty. President Trump has done nothing wrong. Lets be honest here. The liars, cheats, crooks, and dishonest p’s os are the democraps. They are the lowest scum bags that were ever spawned. Pelosi’s face is cracking like the crone she is. The American people see through your attempt to frame our President. Sick of all the blah blah blah from the democraps and the supposedly witnesses they groomed to lie and slander our President. God bless President Trump. Trump 2020!!!
LMAO!!!!!!
The empeachment effort by the democrats is bogus effort to push President Trump from the Whitehouse. He has not committed empeachment offences. The Democrats cannot win next election. It is a bogus effort and it should be ended and the democrats punished…
This whole process has been a pathetic waste of taxpayers money to try and prove something that NEVER happened and that is the quid pro quo. Our President has done nothing wrong and certainly nothing that warrants impeachment! You Democrats are so anti-american and dishonest it is disgusting!
Why do you write such fairytales? I assume because your following eats it up. There’s no more hearsay evidence. It’s all first hand yesterday and today. Will you post my comment?
Someone needs to put a stop to this fiasco now. They are wasting tax payer money and they KNOW they have nothing coming close to impeachment reasons to bring against President Trump. Enough is enough, release the IG report and get on with a REAL prosecution for all of the Democrats involved in this hoax even before President Trump was elected. WE THE PEOPLE elected him, I am soooooo sick of the democratic party. NOT YOUR GRANPA’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO BE SURE !!!
I have been watching the hearings, what a joke. The Dems have tried to stack the deck against Trump but have failed every time. What right does Pelosi and Schiff have to launch such an attack on anyone. Pelosi set aside 1 billion dollars of tax payer money to pay for this circus. Why doesn’t she pay for it out of her pocket. All the Dems are doing is making it easier for Trump to win reelection. I hope the American people remember this when their Dems run for reelection and kick them out of office.
This all the Republicans got? This is pathetic, especially this last point by Scalise: “The law required Trump to ensure Ukraine is rooting out corruption before the aid was released” is a brand new one, one we’ve never heard before. Good luck with that one! And that idiot Jordan believes a quid pro quo is when somebody does someone a favor. The fact that that favor was never carried out makes it no quid quo pro. It doesn’t work that way, Jim. If you try to rob a bank but you fail, you’re still going to jail. What Trump tried was attempted extortion of Zelensky. He’s a criminal, even if Zelensky never did Trump a favor. Trump’s going to be thrown out of office for this!
You are a damn fool
Get this over with and send those cry baby fake democrats on their way.They need to pack and leave. Such an awful thing to try to do to a good president.
TRUMP 2020 !
The Dems are totally corrupt
There isn’t going to be an apeachment
And Trump 2020 is going to to be President
I wish the Lib_Dems could find a more constructive way to spend our tax dollars. I would like a summary of how much and who was paid what? Another thing we have a president FINALLY that wants to make America the great place it has held for years and years. Now we have a bunch of bafoons wanting to characterize him as a no good. What in the world are they hiding except for their crooked behaviors than have put cash into their pockets for years and years? I’m for voting each and every one of them out of office when their jobs come up again. This is darn ridiculous, just ridiculous!
Chris Wallace use to interview. Now, he argues with the guests.
Why can’t I leave a reply. You close me out.
Schiff lied and continues to lie or misrepresent the truth .Hatched job.

The Do Nothing Democrats need t work for The American people and STOP the bogus c;aims against TRUMP ! They are making complete fools of themselves 1 I mean really . TRUMP 20/20
God Bless America
After decades of self destructive, ultra liberal Federal policies, after eight years of an anti American, leftist administration, this Republic has finally been graced with the most suitable and patriotic President we have ever known since Lincoln in the person of Donald J. Trump. To even discuss the Democratic Party’s fantasies of an impeachable offense by this most honest of men is ludicrous. Heaven knows they have found nothing after so many illicit and criminal inquiries. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves and go to work. John Lars Zwerenz
