President Donald Trump took to Twitter Tuesday in series of tweets blasting Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for not transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Last Monday, Pelosi reiterated her plan to not make any more moves with impeachment until she knows the level of “fairness” with the Senate trial rules.
“The Democrats will do anything to avoid a trial in the Senate in order to protect Sleepy Joe Biden, and expose the millions and millions of dollars that ‘Where’s’ Hunter, & possibly Joe, were paid by companies and countries for doing NOTHING. Joe wants no part of this mess!” President Trump tweeted.
“Read the Transcripts!” Trump declared.

The president went on to say, “Remember when Pelosi was screaming that President Trump is a danger to our nation and we must move quickly. They didn’t get one Republican House vote and lost 3 Dems. They produced no case so now she doesn’t want to go to the Senate. She’s all lies. [The] most overrated person I know!” (Continued Below)
President Trump then quoted Brad Blakeman, who appeared on Fox News, and who weighed in on impeachment.
“’It’s my opinion as a lawyer that the Articles of Impeachment are defective on their face, which means I would like to see a Motion to Dismiss and have this disbursed without the necessity of a trial. I don’t think there should be a trial. I think it should be dismissed on 51 votes, which is procedural. You don’t need two thirds.’ A great lawyer & person. Thank you, Brad!” (Video Below)
