Democrats are running out of stunts to pull from impeachment playbook

As I noted to the committee, the subpoena, which is the very basis for the earlier contempt vote, was demanding an unlawful act from Barr, and the committee then held him in contempt for not committing that unlawful act.

Democratic leaders in Congress proved the perils of “jumping the shark” this month. The phrase comes from the 1977 episode of the television comedy “Happy Days” in which one of its leading characters, the “Fonz,” jumped over a shark in a water skiing stunt in swim trunks along with his signature leather jacket. That moment was viewed as a desperate ratings stunt by a dying television series struggling to keep viewers engaged. Today, the phrase has come to define similar instances of desperation.

  1. Nonsense, this will not stop but only change avenues of attack. A quick look at the headlines on how they are demanding financial records shows the notion they are running out of 'stunts' to be dubious indeed.

    Look at it for what it is, a well planned and orchestrated subversive attack to paralyze the results of the election and the will of the American people. Sadly, so far they have been very successful and Trump does not seem to see it for what it is much less know how to respond. He is simply not the man he presented himself to be.

    Y'all have a nice day.
