Growing number of Senate Democrats want Pelosi to end stalemate over impeachment articles dailycaller.com /2020/01/08/nancy-pelosi-senate-democrats-impeachment-stalemate/ January 08, 2020 3:32 PM ET A growing number of Senate Democrats are breaking with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her handling of articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Seven Democrats — Sens. Dianne Feinstein, Doug Jones, Chris Murphy, Joe Manchin, Richard Blumenthal, Jon Tester, and Chris Coons — told various news outlets Wednesday that they are ready for Pelosi to transmit the articles so that the Senate can move forward with Trump’s trial.

I don’t see what good delay does,” Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Bloomberg. “I think the time has past. She should send the articles over,” Murphy told The Washington Post. “We were ready on the day the articles were voted, to conduct the trial,” Blumenthal told Politico. “At some point it’s appropriate to send them and in effect pass the baton to senators who are going to continue to insist on witnesses and documents.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, arrives to a news conference at the U.S. Capital in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Thursday, June 27, 2019.

Democrats accused Trump of abusing his office by pressuring the Ukrainian government to open up politically-charged investigations in exchange for concessions from the administration. Pelosi has refused to send the articles to the Senate in hopes of forcing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to commit to allowing witnesses to be called at Trump’s eventual trial. Democrats ideally want to hear from current and former administration officials like Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, and John Bolton, the former national security adviser. Mulvaney was reportedly directly involved in discussions regarding U.S. military aid to Ukraine. Bolton reportedly voiced concerns to other officials regarding the administration’s actions towards Ukraine. Pelosi’s strategy crumbled Tuesday when McConnell told his fellow Republicans on Tuesday that he had enough votes to proceed with the trial without committing to calling witnesses.

Chelsea Clinton's dubious 'earnings' Washington Times, by Tammy Bruce Original Article With all the talk about Hunter Biden these days, one might get the impression that he is the only child of a politician to benefit from his parents’ position and the last name they inherited. (Snip) According to Politico, Marc Lasry, a major Clinton Foundation donor, “employed Chelsea Clinton as a chemical industry analyst at his own hedge fund Avenue Capital Group from late 2006 until 2008. …” You read that right — she was a “chemical industry analyst.” Chelsea’s expertise with chemical issues would seem to be on the same level as Hunter Biden’s expertise with energy issues. At this rate we should be grateful that Chelsea
