There was quite a bit of buzz online Wednesday after Rep. Adam Schiff was caught on video during the Senate impeachment trial claiming that “the president’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box.” Why not? Well, coming from the guy who claimed to have evidence that Donald Trump’s campaign had colluded with the Russians to swing the 2016 election, Schiff said there’s no way to ensure Trump “fairly won” — in other words, the Democrats are already trying to cast doubt on the 2020 election results. They must know their candidates suck.
We were also told that Sen. Mitch McConnell was compelled to recuse himself because he’d been in contact with the White House and could not be considered an “impartial juror,” even though the Senators who were or are running for president made it clear in the debates they were certain Trump was guilty and had to be removed. Certainly, there’s no conflict of interest with Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.
Now we’re hearing from NBC News that Democratic Reps. Zoe Lofgren of California, Sylvia Garcia of Texas, and Val Demings of Florida have said the American public will view the Senate impeachment proceedings as a “rigged trial” if Trump is acquitted.
House impeachment managers say the Senate has no choice but to remove @realDonaldTrump.
If they vote to acquit, they argue that the process would look "rigged."https://t.co/Hk5WXtekyw

We’d wager tens of millions of Americans would argue that the trial already seems rigged, what with the House vote to impeach coming down party lines and Speaker Nancy Pelosi sitting on the articles of impeachment over Christmas break even though the fate of the Republic was on the line — not to mention that Democrats like Maxine Waters and Al Green have been calling for Trump’s impeachment since the election.
Oh please

That's utterly ridiculous

So it has it has to go their way or it is rigged? lol

Just as Gov. Stacey Abrams.
Looked rigged in the house but that didn’t stop democrats.

Actually, unlike the House, the Senate does have a choice. I know it’s unsettling because Democrats hate those pesky elections with their indeterminate outcomes. It’s called democracy. Look it up.

The gall of the @DNC is beyond unprecedented

Sure they say that. They are con men and women. Hopefully the Senate won’t fall for their con game

If they are already saying that it looks like they’re about to get called out on this hoax

They say this because they know it is their last hope. Not happening boys and girls

They should know a rigged process. They're experts.

Translation if they don't remove him he'll win re-election in a landslide!

Pure dissembling garbage.

As nauseum Democratic corruption. Enough already. We elected him duly. Get over it.

Adam Schiff wanted naked pictures of trump and he’s head prosecutor for senate democrats let that sink in

The Democrat managers do not rule our country. They can pontificate until they are blue in the face, their opinions and innuendos and narratives of hate and debased minds do not prove any crime, now do Biden and Son. The Dems trying hard to cover up their sins.

Of course they do. Anything to skew opinion in their direction. But if there’s been zip done that’s unconstitutional by the president, the only leg they’re standing on is gone. Like in the Mueller probe, remember Schiff said he had unequivocal proof there was Russian collusion?

They would be wrong

How about let the Senate do its job and then worry about if the American public sees it as rigged or not. And maybe if Schiff and Jerry Nadler had put together a stronger case in the House, the impeachment managers wouldn’t have to worry about the process seeming “rigged.”
