Impeachment of President Trump has long been the goal of the Radical Left as a means to overturn the 2016 election. With no viable presidential candidate and scant prospects of an economic downturn that could help them, Impeachment has now transitioned to “Last Ditch Hail Mary Pass.”
Lest Conservatives become overconfident, I don’t feel certain the 2020 elections will favor Republicans. Leftists in the main stream media and big tech are doing their best to throw elections to Democratic Socialists, and the influence of these entities cannot be over-emphasized. There is reason to suspect Democratic bias by election officials in Minnesota, and reason to suspect other states of voting irregularities. But Democrat leadership is frightened enough to panic and push impeachment.
What does that mean? Wikipedia says it’s the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official, similar to an indictment in criminal law. It does not remove an official from office prior to conviction, and conviction of a President requires a majority vote by both houses of Congress. Impeachment at the federal level, says Wikipedia, is limited to those who may have committed “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The Harvard Law Review states the majority view is that a President may be impeached for “intentional, evil deeds” that “drastically subvert the Constitution and involve an unforgivable abuse of power.” (Maybe President Trump is guilty because he intentionally got elected??)
After three years of “Trump/Russia Collusion” the latest episode of impeachment mania involves a phone call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine. Two “whistleblowers” have emerged who allegedly were coached by Congressman Adam Schiff and his staffers on how to present their claims in a manner that would inflict the most damage on the Trump Administration. A complete transcript of the phone call was quickly released by Mr. Trump in an effort to effect exoneration. This triggered the media and Democrat leadership who screamed for prosecution of President Trump for forcing a vulnerable foreign government to investigate a political rival and attempting to subvert a national election with the aid of a foreign power.
Is there evidence that Government officials engaged in “intentional, evil deeds” that “subvert the Constitution and involve unforgiveable abuse of power”?
Dear readers, sit down and take a deep breath; I’m about to admit something you never thought I would. Intentional, evil deeds that justify impeachment and criminal prosecution have, I believe, been committed. American government officials have, I believe, engaged in the greatest abuse of power and influence pedaling ever perpetrated on a scale even the most cynical citizen could never have imagined.
I believe members of Federal agencies, including members of the intelligence community and IRS, were weaponized in favor of a political party and candidates of that party. I believe foreign entities were paid to provide unverified dirt on national political rivals and the FISA Court was lied to so that illegal spying could occur on a certain political candidate. I believe that a prominent former government official engaged in serious felonious activity by destroying evidence under federal subpoena and has so far escaped any punishment. I believe the officials involved also engaged in influence pedaling on a massive scale in order to enrich themselves and their families.
What I don’t believe is that the Trump Administration has engaged in any of these criminal acts, and I fully support a fair and thorough investigation of all the actions that lead up to the political mosh pit that Washington, DC has become. President Trump has a right to ask any foreign entity to investigate American corruption, and being a presidential candidate does not exempt Mr. Biden from criminal investigation. Period. If the Biden’s did the crime, they should do the time.
It’s wrong to limit investigation to members of the Trump Administration; let the guilty be investigated and punished, even if they are members of the Obama/Clinton/Biden/Comey/ regime.
Attorney General William Barr, root out the corruption so Washington can get back to work for America!
God Bless until next time, Jeff

Hahahahaha. Better turn off fox and rush, come back to reality. Gave Trump a chance, but just so sick of him and his cabinet saying things and then saying it’s fake news when it’s just reporting what they say! Come on, how stupid do you think people are.

Where were you when Hawkeye63 was around? Couldn’t be bothered with making that statement with someone you agreed with could you?
And it’s “moot” by the way.

Laughing so hard at Wikipedia being used as a formal source! People over 60 are hilarious!

Mr. Erding’s narrative is an engaging plot line for the next great Hollywood suspense thriller. Of course that movie will never be made given Hollywood’s political worldview. And that seems to be our quandary as a nation. Those of us to the left can spin a yarn just as fantastical as Mr. Erding has. Both genres – the left and the right – never break out of their tired formulas. Everyone can enjoy the climax of Mr. Erding’s tale. Washington getting back to work for America. Our problem is agreeing upon the story that precedes it.

The election was 3 years ago. Get over it.
People didn’t go to prison because the Trump won a minority-voter election.
