As the next batch of formal, public impeachment hearings carry on as we speak, it’s becoming increasingly clear that even the staunchest of Trump’s supporters are beginning to lose their grip on a decent defense for their president.
From the very beginning of this debacle, Trump’s GOP party as well as members of his essentially state-run media outlet, Fox News, have been grasping at straws for some sort of loophole or technicality to hoist Donald out of this pot of hot water of his own making.
However, as these public hearings continue and more and more witnesses give their first-hand account of events under oath, there’s no denying that Donald Trump 100 percent, absolutely did what he’s being accused of — which leaves his crew of jockeys with very little footing to defend him.
During a segment on Trump’s beloved network, as EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland delivered his testimony to the House Intelligence Committee for all of America to see, Fox News contributor and prominent Republican attorney Ken Starr predicted that the ambassador’s testimony could be the final straw for GOP Senators and spur them to demand a resignation from the president as well as acknowledged that this particular testimony would no doubt result in articles of impeachment drawn up against POTUS. He then went on to say that Trump “gave himself enough cover” in reference to Sondland’s September 9 conversation with Donald, in which he claims Trump stated, “I want nothing, I want nothing, I want no quid pro quo.”

“Well, I think that Ken Starr and [Fox News contributor] Andy McCarthy are very good lawyers,” Fox News host Chris Wallace stated. “And like any good lawyers they can parse this, phrase this any way they want, but as a reporter it seems to me that we have to go to what the headline is today, and the headline is that Gordon Sondland, one of the three amigos, perhaps the one who had the most direct contact with Donald Trump, says in his opening statement, ‘Was there a quid pro quo with regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting?’ The answer is yes.”
Wallace continued to recount the ambassador’s testimony before stating, “there seems to be no doubt whatsoever among the people who are closest, and I thought Sondland made a very powerful argument — it wasn’t just the three amigos, it was Secretary of State Pompeo, it was Vice President Pence… Mick Mulvaney, John Bolton, that they were all on the same page and they all understood that the President wanted this announcement of these investigations before he was going to agree, at the very least to a meeting, and there’s also the question of the military aid.”
Adding, “He couldn’t have been more clear about that.”
Even his own beloved Fox News Network is turning on him. There’s literally nothing left for these people to hold on to. No defense. And each passing testimony will only make it worse and worse for him. We can only hope that resignation will be coming soon.
