Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein May Vote to Acquit President Trump [UPDATE]
***UPDATE*** Feinstein said she was misunderstood, via Daily Wire:
After the report broke and began trending on Twitter, Feinstein took to Twitter to clarify her remarks, backing off any possibility of Trump’s acquittal.
The LA Times misunderstood what I said today. Before the trial I said I’d keep an open mind. Now that both sides made their cases, it’s clear the president’s actions were wrong. He withheld vital foreign assistance for personal political gain. That can’t be allowed to stand.

When even someone as far left as Dianne Feinstein (CA) says she could vote to acquit President Trump, you know, beyond all reasonable doubt, that Democrats have failed – again – to make their case against POTUS.
What the left seems to be great at, more than anything, is making a Republican point even stronger. Time and again, Dems find a way to hurt their own cause. The thing is, they will always have the media on their side. Check this out, via Los Angeles Times:
Just after President Trump’s defense lawyers ended arguments in their Senate trial Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California became the first Democrat to suggest that she could vote to acquit him, despite serious concerns about his character.
Feinstein said, “Nine months left to go, the people should judge. We are a republic, we are based on the will of the people — the people should judge. That was my view and it still is my view.“
Still, she indicated that arguments in the trial about Trump’s character and fitness for office had left her undecided. “What changed my opinion as this went on,” she said, is a realization that “impeachment isn’t about one offense. It’s really about the character and ability and physical and mental fitness of the individual to serve the people, not themselves.”
Despite being impeached by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, Pelosi (CA) has invited Trump to address the nation on the State of the Union next February.
This move came as a bit of a surprise.
Here’s the invitation:
