Now I like what I'm hearing out of Graham. I like all his points but will he follow through and be the tiger I think he can be in the impeachment trial or will he fold like a paper tiger.

Adam Schiff Will be Called as a Witness in Senate Impeachment Trial: Graham

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) will be called as a witness in a Senate impeachment trial, which will be held if the House votes to impeach President Donald Trump.

Graham also said he wouldn't let a trial of Trump be based on hearsay evidence alone. A trial would also not be held if the whistleblower doesn't testify, he said.

"Let's say they get 218 votes. Here's what I promise the country. We're not going to try the president of the United States based on hearsay. So any resolution setting up a trial in the Senate, I'm going to make sure that hearsay cannot be the basis of an impeachment allegation," Graham told host Sean Hannity.

"If you invoke the hearsay rule, what would be left?"

"A trial in the Senate, to me, should not legitimize what's going on in the House. No American is denied the right to call witnesses on their behalf, except for Donald Trump. No American is accused of wrongdoing anonymously, except Donald Trump. What they're doing in the House is a danger to the presidency itself," Graham continued.

"So any trial in the Senate needs to make sure that you can't impeach a president based on hearsay, because that's a danger to the presidency itself. And secondly, any trial in the Senate must expose the whistleblower so the president can confront his accuser. I will not accept a trial in the Senate until I know who the whistleblower is."

People sleep peacefully at night because there are a few tough men prepared to do violence on their behalf.

A foolish man complains about his torn pockets.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.

If Pelosi and Schiff are able to railroad this Impeachment and force their 31 vulnerable Dems from Trump Districts to actually commit political suicide and vote with those from safe, radical Far Leftist Districts (Big "IF"), Adam Schiff will have a lot to answer for when he is questioned under oath during the trial in the Senate with Chief Justice Roberts presiding.

In reality those 31 vulnerable dems are as good as gone now. I can not see them getting the votes again with Trump at the top of the ticket. There is one other factor which is the ig report should be coming out soon. Once it comes out it will be very hard to predict what the dims will do i think. Personally, I am looking forward to seeing shiff on the stand, he will get charged with perjury if nothing else.

Keep in mind all 32 of these districts do not have to flip. I believe it will only take around 20. Should that occur I do not believe the house GOP would pull a Paul Ryan. They will understand they have control because of Trump not in spite of Trump.
