Graham gives Pelosi ultimatum, proposes Senate rule change to remove her from impeachment process

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., insisted Sunday that if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not deliver articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate by the end of the week, the Senate should "take matters in our own hands."

Graham accused Pelosi of playing political games and trying to exert control over the Senate trial by keeping it from starting. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recognized Friday on the Senate floor the chamber's rules prevented him from doing anything until Pelosi does her part, but Graham proposed a solution that could remove what McConnell has called an "impasse" in the process.

"What I would do, if she continues to refuse to send the articles as required by the Constitution, I would work with Senator McConnell to change the rules of the Senate so we could start the trial without her, if necessary," Graham proposed on "Sunday Morning Futures."

When asked how long he would wait before taking this step, Graham replied, "Days, not weeks."

Graham justified this by claiming that Pelosi was engaging in a "political stunt" by holding off on sending the impeachment articles to the Senate, weeks after they were approved by a House vote. He said McConnell would not let her dictate how events unfold.

"Well, we're not going to let Nancy Pelosi use the rules of the Senate to her advantage. This is dangerous to the presidency as an institution," Graham said. "They impeached the president, but the speaker of the House is holding the articles back, trying to extort from the majority leader of the Senate a trial to her liking. They're trying to hold these articles over the head of the president."

Graham laid out how he would expect the trial to go, allowing both sides to present arguments before determining whether witnesses were needed.

"We'll use the Clinton model, where you take the record established in the House, let the House managers appointed by Pelosi make the argument, let the president make his argument why the two articles are flawed, and then we'll decide whether we want witnesses. But this should be done in a couple of weeks," he said.

Graham expressed hope that the Senate could conclude the impeachment trial before the end of January, but reiterated that this may require the Senate to push Pelosi out of the equation.

"If we don't get the articles this week, then we need to take matters in our own hands and change the rules, deem them to be delivered to the Senate so we can start the trial, invite the House over to participate if they would like," he said. "If they don't come, dismiss the case and get on with governing the country."

Rachel Maddow says 'implosion' of NRA would be 'biggest' political story if not for impeachment

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow claimed Tuesday night that the "implosion" of the National Rifle Association (NRA) would be the biggest political news story if it weren't for the impeachment of President Trump.

Maddow began by touting the NRA's "legendary" power and major influence over politicians -- and then highlighted the rather turbulent year for the prominent guns rights organization. This included the revelation of Russia agent Maria Butina's attempt to infiltrate the group during the 2016 election and reports of the nonprofit's suspicious spending, which sparked an avalanche of lawsuits and investigations.

"Over the last few months, over the course of this year, we have watched this conservative political behemoth with really no equal in conservative politics, we have watched it collapse at breathtaking speed," Maddow told her viewers.

The liberal cable news star then pointed to the exit of NRA President Lt. Col. Oliver North and how the "drama" that has unfolded unleashed a "cascade of terrible and increasingly damning and embarrassing revelations" on the NRA's spending of donations, including the $200,000 reportedly spent on NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre's clothes and over $240,000 on lavish trips abroad.

"And the reason all of this is not just embarrassing but potentially is real troubling for the NRA is that the NRA is a nonprofit organization and there are rules, there are laws about how a non-profit can spend its members' money," Maddow explained. "Take all of Wayne LaPierre's spending habits with NRA members' money, add that to evidence that hundreds of thousands of dollars flowed from the NRA to its own board members, that's them paying themselves. Add in the red flags about the way the NRA has diverted money from what's supposed to be its charitable foundation. Put it all together and it's no wonder the NRA appears to now be very worried about an ever-widening investigation by the attorney general of the state of New York."

"If the NRA's behavior has been bad enough, New York could conceivably revoke its nonprofit status and shut it down which is what the state of New York just did with Donald Trump's charitable foundation this year."

Maddow claimed that the troubles at the NRA are not only a "huge deal" but a "show-stopping deal," pointing to its shutdown of NRATV.

"The once fearsome NRA, the most powerful entity in conservative politics... I mean, they're in free-fall," Maddow continued. "And I think it's fair to say that in any other time, in any other news environment, the implosion of one of the country's most fearsome conservative political machines... we would be watching that slow-motion car crash endlessly. That would be the biggest political news story in the country for a long time, but with this president in the middle of an impeachment, it's like ... just one more tree falling in the forest."

[George Stephanopoulos] New comment on Biden's son is FOUND in Los Angeles as Donald Trum....

Hunter Biden is 'linked to multiple criminal probes involving fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme'

Hunter Biden is reportedly linked to multiple criminal probes, according to court documents filed in Arkansas.

The papers alleged that the 49-year-old 'is the subject of more than one criminal investigation involving fraud, money laundering and a counterfeiting scheme'.

According to the New York Post, the allegations were filed by private-eye firm, D&A Investigations on Monday in relation to Hunter's paternity case involving his baby mama Lunden Roberts.

One of the claims involves Burisma, the Ukrainian oil company that's at the center of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial. Trump came under fire for a phone call with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, urging him to investigate Hunter's work with Burisma, while withholding some $400million in military aid.

The new allegations accuse Hunter and business associates of establishing 'bank and financial accounts with Morgan Stanley … for Burisma Holdings Limited … for the money laundering scheme'.

D&A claimed that the accounts showed a value of nearly $6.8million between March 2014 and December 2015, according to the Post.

In addition, the documents allege that Hunter and three associates attempted to con Sioux Native Americans out of $60million through the sale of tribal bonds.

It's unclear what agencies are allegedly investigating Hunter. But shortly after the allegations were filed, a judge struck them down because they were filed by an 'intervener,' according to the Post.

News of the alleged investigations comes just a day after the financial information for Roberts was released exclusively to DailyMail.com.

On Sunday, Roberts' financial information from the last five years was obtained by DailyMail.com. In the documents, the Lancaster & Lancaster Law Firm, which represents Roberts, reveals that the 28-year-old received money from a company owned by Hunter from May 2018 to November 2018.

'She never received a tax document for these payments,' her attorneys wrote, adding that the undisclosed amount of payments are reflected on her bank records.

According to the documents, Roberts also worked for Hunter and submitted pay stubs as proof of employment along with a health insurance card that he reportedly provided her.

Roberts continued to make the case for her paternity suit by outlining other sources of income that she's received, including $1,700 that her father paid in fees for her to graduate college and her annual Christmas bonus that she receives from her current employer.

'Occasionally, and without regular reoccurrence, the plaintiff has been provided insignificant amounts of money - what some may classify as "petty cash" - by her parents for her or her daughter's needs,' the document reads.

Roberts said that family and friends have given her and her child toys and other things, but 'these events are infrequent, and while cherished and very appreciated, are not gifts of monetary value'.

Hunter, who has been laying low in Los Angeles during his bitter paternity dispute with Roberts, was seen for the first time on Friday since DailyMail.com revealed that his new South African wife Melissa Cohen, 32, is pregnant and in her second trimester.

As Hunter lays low on the West Coast, Trump demanded that he be called as a witness in his impeachment trial since he is at the center of the trial based on his role with Burisma.

And apparently, his father Joe Biden has had enough of the focus on his son, lashing out during Thursday's presidential candidate debate, claiming Republicans are 'attacking' Hunter.

Christianity Today sees surge in subscriptions after calling for Trump's removal
"A stereotypical response is 'thank you, thank you, thank you' with a string of a hundred exclamation points"

Mark Galli, the editor in chief of Christianity Today, the prominent evangelical magazine founded by the late Rev. Billy Graham, said Sunday that the magazine has seen a surge in new prescriptions since it published his blistering editorial calling for President Trump's removal from office.

"A stereotypical response is 'thank you, thank you, thank you' with a string of a hundred exclamation points — 'you've said what I've been thinking but haven't been able to articulate, I'm not crazy,'" Galli told MSNBC, adding, "We have lost subscribers, but we've had three times as many people start to subscribe."

Galli and his magazine were condemned by nearly 200 evangelical leaders following his editorial, which argued Trump's removal was "not a matter of partisan loyalties but loyalty to the Creator of the Ten Commandments."

The op-ed was published shortly after the House of Representatives approved two articles of impeachment against Trump — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. At the heart of the charges are accusations that Trump withheld nearly $400 million in military aid for Ukraine to pressure that nation to launch investigations into his potential rivals, including Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, ahead of the 2020 election.

In his editorial, Galli didn't just criticize Trump. He also called out the president's devout Christian base.





00:00/00:00



"To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: Remember who you are and whom you serve. Consider how your justification of Mr. Trump influences your witness to your Lord and Savior," he wrote.

In an interview Sunday with CBS News, Galli defended his call to remove Trump from office and explained that he was not making a "political judgment" but rather a "moral" one.

"It strikes me as strange that people who take the teachings of Jesus Christ seriously, the teachings of the Ten Commandments seriously, that we can't at least say publicly and out loud in front of God and everybody, that this man's character is deeply, deeply concerning to us," he said.

Galli again acknowledged that the president has delivered many victories to the evangelical community with policy decisions on abortion and religious freedom, but added that he doesn't believe evangelicals can "in good conscience" continue the "trade-off" of accepting Trump because of his policy positions.

"He gives us what we need on pro-life, but he's got this bad character. The fundamental argument I'm making is: We crossed a line somewhere in the impeachment hearings, at least in my mind — that balance no longer works," Galli said.

Galli's editorial prompted outrage from Trump, who condemned Christianity Today as a "far-left magazine," as well as a statement from Rev. Franklin Graham, who claimed his father would have disagreed with Galli's position.

"It's obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist wing of evangelicalism," Graham said. "Is President Trump guilty of sin? Of course he is, as were all past presidents and as each one of us are, including myself. Therefore, let's pray for the President as he continues to lead the affairs of our nation."

[Newt Gingrich] New comment on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Senate Republicans....

Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump stand their ground over impeachment

So much for holiday cheer.

President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi exchanged tweets on Monday over her holding up delivering articles of impeachment to the GOP-controlled Senate until a fair impeachment trial can be guaranteed.

Trump kicked off the exchange when he criticized the California Democrat for conducting an unfair impeachment investigation in the House.

"Pelosi gives us the most unfair trial in the history of the U.S. Congress, and now she is crying for fairness in the Senate, and breaking all rules while doing so," Trump posted on Twitter. "She lost Congress once, she will do it again!"

Pelosi then weighed in on Trump's tweet.

"The House cannot choose our impeachment managers until we know what sort of trial the Senate will conduct. President Trump blocked his own witnesses and documents from the House, and from the American people, on phony complaints about the House process," the speaker wrote. "What is his excuse now?"

Pelosi is temporarily holding up the two articles of impeachment the House voted on last Wednesday after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he was coordinating the Senate trial with White House lawyers and declared he wouldn't be an impartial juror.

"We would hope there would be a fair process just as I hope they would honor the Constitution," Pelosi said of Republicans in the Senate during her weekly news conference last Thursday.

McConnell, appearing Monday on "Fox & Friends," said he's in no rush to get the articles.

"She's apparently trying to tell us how to run the trial," the Kentucky Republican said. "You know, I'm not anxious to have this trial. So if she wants to hold onto the papers, go right ahead."

Until then, he said both sides remain deadlocked.

"Look, we're at an impasse. We can't do anything until the speaker sends the papers over, so everybody enjoy the holidays," he said.
