Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the impeachment proceedings, the likely continuance of resistance investigative efforts, and Graham’s role in any Senate proceedings.
Despite never having a single investigative hearing since he started promising hearings at the conclusion of the Mueller probe in April 2019, Senator Graham promises hearings to get to the bottom of the Biden-Burisma issue.  Not likely.  Bartiromo pushes the Senator on whether he will investigate the origin of the Whistleblower complaint, Graham avoids.
Graham promises hearings on FISA abuse. You decide if they will ever happen.  The FISA bulk metadata collection re-authorization vote is next month around March 15th.

Yesterday we shared: “The Biden Purpose if Finished, Watch How Fast He Plummets“, the reasoning is simple.  The Zelensky election was April 21st, 2019.  Joe Biden announces his run for office April 25th, 2019.  Impeachment 1.0 collapses with Robert Mueller testimony on July 24th, 2019.   Trump-Ukraine was the beginning of impeachment hoax 2.0.

Joe Biden was never a viable candidate. He was pushed into the election to set-up a hoax impeachment narrative of President Trump investigating his 2020 political opponent.
New York Times relays story of Rudy Giuliani traveling to Ukraine on May 9th, 2019.  If Biden didn’t run, Trump talking to Zelensky is an investigation of corrupt Ukraine activity in 2016.  If Biden ran, that conversation is spun into Trump talking to Zelensky to request an investigation of his 2020 opponent.  Hence dual purpose of Biden run for office.
With the impeachment hoax 2.0 at a closing point, Biden’s usefulness is finished. Today, as predicted, the headline reads: “New South Carolina Poll is a Disaster for Joe Biden“:

WASHINGTON – Joe Biden may have just received the worst news of his campaign, as a new poll shows his support in his firewall state of South Carolina collapsing along with his once-dominant support among black voters, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Tom Steyer closing the gap.

It’s somewhat of a tradition for The Des Moines Register to publish the final poll of the campaign season on the Sunday before the Iowa caucuses.  Except this year, they refuse to publish the results citing a “polling problem“.
The CNN/DMR cover story is that one pollster may have pronounced Buttigieg name incorrectly.  However, everyone knows the real reason…. Bernie has a big lead.

The two affiliated media outlets, CNN and DMR, individually ran political operations against Bernie in the last month.  The motive of this stunt follows the pattern.
CNN manufactured the “a woman can’t win the presidency” claim in an effort to elevate Elizabeth warren; this published hit was then leveraged in the Iowa debate.  Similarly, coming in for the assist, the Des Moines Register then endorsed Elizabeth Warren.

Appearing on Ted Cruz podcast, Senator Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz share the backroom discussions that preceded the vote for witnesses.  Interesting background information on the arguments and debates, for those who followed events closely.

And so it begins…  Billionaire Michael Bloomberg spent tens-of-millions in 2017 and 2018 to help elect House democrat candidates.  Additionally, Bloomberg funds various political activist organizations for issue specifics like gun restrictions.   The DNC and Bloomberg are like peas and carrots.
Remember, the DNC are RNC are private clubs.  They can do anything they want, support anyone they want, and disavow anyone they want.  Nothing matters more to the Club boardroom than dollars; and specifically how they can translate those dollars into power.
A week ago DNC President Tom Perez appointed Barney Frank to the rules committee.  Frank then hired John Podesta.  Yesterday the rules committee changed the club rules allowing billionaire Michael Bloomberg to join the debates this month.   Michael Moore is going bananas about the transparently corrupt dealing with the DNC.  WATCH:

.
As noted yesterday – Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders now leads most polls in the key states where the democrat primary battle will begin. With the grassroots Bernie-AOC wing carrying all the enthusiasm and momentum time is running out for the DNC club.

The Crossfire Hurricane hand-off  to Weissmann using Mueller was the hoax known generally as Trump-Russia, or Coup 1.0.   If you stand back and look at the totality of the ‘big picture’ behind the Trump-Ukraine impeachment coup it’s clear to see a 2.0 version.
The Trump-Russia hoax (coup 1.0) was dependent on a ‘Special Counsel’ because the coup plotters held no other avenue to eliminate Donald Trump.  In 2017 and 2018 both the House and Senate were republican.  Coup 1.0 relied upon a created structure of oversight, an insurance policy of sorts, within the framework of government.

However, after the 2018 mid-terms, when Democrats won the House, impeachment was possible.  In the month following the Nov ’18 election Pelosi and the resistance group (assembled from current and former DOJ officials, ie. The Lawfare group), mapped out the impeachment plan and created new House rules to facilitate it.  Pelosi hired Doug Letter as Chief House Counsel and contracted with a host of lawyers to assist.
The Weissmann special counsel group, using Robert Mueller as a figurehead, failed to deliver because the Trump-Russia narrative was always a hoax. Without the ‘there‘ there the only damage they could deploy was political speculation, innuendo and weaponized narratives. They tried hard, but were only able to create a tenuous ‘obstruction’ case.
When Mueller eventually testified about his investigation the world saw he was merely a figurehead, a visible prop to represent a team he barely understood; and with that testimony the impeachment usefulness collapsed.  Imagine Mueller being cross examined about his two year investigation; imagine the deposition that would have been needed; yeah, the insurance policy was immediately worthless.

HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes brings an uncomfortable dose of reality to a media discussion and he’s exactly correct.  Appearing on Tucker Carlson Mr. Nunes highlights that a vote to acquit on the impeachment articles will not be the end of this fiasco.
The Crossfire Hurricane hoax was constructed with an insurance policy to initiate the Mueller investigation, another hoax.  This same network of political operatives, all of which know each-other and work together in various government factions, then morphed the Mueller hoax into the Ukraine hoax; it’s one long continuum and it will not stop with a Senate impeachment acquittal.  WATCH:

.
Additionally, on the Democrat presidential contest Nunes now predicts the movement for Bernie Sanders is going to succeed and gain the nomination.  I agree.

There will be 24 hours of presentation by House Impeachment Managers (over 3 days); 24 hours of presentation by Defense team (over 3 days); 16 hours of Senate questioning; 4 hours of closing arguments, equally divided; open Senate deliberations/speeches; and a final vote on the articles of impeachment.
UPDATE:  After a series of defeated Democrat amendments, the Senate evening procedural session ends at 8:00pm with the following outcome:

• Monday: 11:00am closing arguments by House Managers and Defense (two hours each for a total of four hours); then the senate, regular session, floor speeches begin.
• Tuesday: 11:00am full day of floor speeches.  Each Senator limited to ten minutes.
• Wednesday: 4:00pm – A final vote on the articles of impeachment.

The Senate voted 51-49 on a motion to support prior constitutional precedent and avoid further witness testimony in the Senate.  Republican Senators Susan Collins and Mitt Romney voted with Democrats to break constitutional framework and support witness testimony in the Senate that did not originate from House impeachment process.

Senators are now recessed for dinner while holding meetings within their caucus to debate next steps.  A disagreement within the republican caucus seems to be framed around Senators wishing to have debate time to present their own personal positions on the Senate floor prior to a final vote to remove or acquit President Trump.
One likely scenario is a vote on a resolution tonight outlining next steps, open to amendment and voting; then recess for the evening around 9pm, and a return at 11:00am Monday.  That would position a final acquittal vote for Wednesday.

• Friday night: A Senate vote organizing a resolution for the following:
• Monday: Closing arguments by House Managers and Defense.
• Tuesday: Open deliberations. Senators speak.
• Wednesday: A vote on the articles of impeachment

The situation is fluid.

We can see the basic outline of how a fraudulent impeachment scheme was constructed through an alliance of operatives in the National Security Council (NSC) and staff in the House committees. Our nation is currently dealing with the consequences.  However, if  we go back to Nancy Pelosi’s December 2018 rule changes, there is clear forethought.
It now looks like the Lawfare network constructed the ‘whistle-blower’ complaint aka a Schiff Dossier, and handed it to allied CIA operative Eric Ciaramella to file as a formal IC complaint.  This process is almost identical to the Fusion-GPS/Lawfare network handing the Steele Dossier to the FBI to use as the evidence for the 2016/2017 Russia conspiracy.

NSC resistance member Alexander Vindman constructs a false story about the Trump-Zelenskyy phone call; he shares the false story with CIA operative Eric Ciaramella (a John Brennan resistance associate and former NSC member).  Ciaramella then makes contact with resistance allies Sean Misko & Mary McCord working within the HPSCI.
Mary McCord (former DOJ-NSD and current Lawfare) then helps Eric Ciaramella create a fraudulent intelligence community whistle-blower complaint to submit to her former DOJ-NSD lawyer, now Intel Inspector General, ICIG Michael Atkinson.
…And that’s how this entire Impeachment operation gets started.
