[size=10]by Tyler Durden Tue, 11/26/2019 - 08:38[/size] With public support for impeachment waning and the risk of a potentially disastrous Senate trial looming, House Democrats have suffered their first impeachment defection after Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan said she no longer supports the effort."We are so close to an election. I will tell you, sitting here knowing how divided this country is, I don't see the value of taking him out of office," said Lawrence, who instead favors censuring President Trump over allegations that he withheld military aid in Ukraine for self-serving purposes, according to the Washington Examiner.[url=https://www.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/brenda congess.png?itok=t_wsOkue][/url]"I do see the value of putting down a marker saying his behavior is not acceptable.""I want to censure. I want it on the record that the House of Representatives did their job and they told this president and any president coming behind him that this is unacceptable behavior and, under our Constitution, we will not allow it," Lawrence continued.Lawrence backed the House inquiry as recently as early October, but changed her tune after recent polls reveal a drop in public support for impeachment following weeks of televised testimony from hand-picked witnesses who were unable to conclude that Trump withheld Ukraine aid in a quid pro quo, extortion, or any other phrase that polled well. - Quote :
- According to the FiveThirtyEight average of national polls, support for impeachment has shrunk from 50.3 percent in mid-October to 46.3 percent presently, while opposition has risen from 43.8 percent to 45.6 percent.
Among independents in the FiveThirtyEight average, support for impeachment topped out at 47.7 percent in late October but has sunk to 41 percent over the past three weeks. -The Hill - Quote :

The smart move by the Ds would be to censure Trump and drop impeachment. https://twitter.com/JasonMillerinDC/status/1199134385011904519 …

[/ltr]An impeachment in the House would mean a trial in the GOP-controlled Senate, where witnesses such as Joe and Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, John Kerry's Stepson and Ukrainian officials would be fair game as Republicans slow-walk America through allegations that the former Vice President and his son were engaged in a pay-for-play political racket. - Quote :

[ltr]Base will melt if they don’t impeach. But it’s a political boondoggle if they do.
So awesome. https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1199137693478932481 …[/ltr]

[size=10]by Tyler Durde [size=10]Tue, 11/26/2019 EmailPri[/size] Via SaraACarter.com,“Adam Schiff has been my congressman since 2012. He became my congressman through the redistricting process,” said Jennifer Barbosa, an independent who is challenging Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). Schiff is wasting federal funds trying to impeach President Trump, while his state continues to suffer from an unprecedented homelessness crisis, pointed Barbosa. [/size] - Quote :
- “Since he became my congressman he has not presented any legislation that’s become law. In terms of homelessness, what he’s done is he’s basically rubber-stamped Maxine Waters’ bill to deal with homelessness, and her bill essentially replicated the same failed policies that [L.A.] Mayor [Eric] Garcetti has implemented in our city over the past few years.”
“We know they’re not working,” Barbosa continued. [size] “So, what we need to do in terms of homelessness... we need to stop allocating federal funds for affordable housing which costs $500,000-700,000 per unit and really focus on mental health services for the people who are living on the street.” [/size] NEVER MISS THE NEWS THAT MATTERS MOST[size] ZEROHEDGE DIRECTLY TO YOUR INBOXReceive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories.[/size] - Quote :
Barbosa for Congress@TeamJenBarbosa
[ltr]When in U.S. Congress in @AdamSchiff’s place, I promise to NOT commence $70 million doomed-to-fail Impeachment Hearings less than 1 year before a Presidential Election or 3 weeks before a November 21 government shutdown. That’s not what representatives are elected or paid to do.[/ltr]

- That didn't take long.
Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence, just two days after declaring she could no longer "see the value" in removing President Trump from office as she pushed instead for an alternative to impeachment, has reversed course again -- now claiming she's completely on board with impeachment.
