“Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our founders, and a heart full-of-love for America, today I’m asking our chairmen to proceed with articles of impeachment”, stated Pelosi 12/5/2019 — (made necessary by the Inspector General’s report of “credible and urgent wrongdoing by the president”, evidenced by facts attested to on record). Pelosi asserted that Democrats were undertaking their solemn obligation to uphold our Constitution, our safety, and our democratic republic. This comes as news that Barr’s appointee, Assistant U.S. Attorney, John Durham, informed “inspector general that he can’t back right-wing theory that Russia case was U.S. intel setup”, as Trump and Barr have long asserted. Pelosi reiterated that — with Trump’s actions “all roads lead to Putin”. History has found us and will judge us!” If GOP refuses to legitimize the process, shirking their obligation to hold a rogue-president responsible for his actions, that is THEIR failure to fulfill their oaths of office. If Republicans are willing to be complicit in the president’s illegal actions, and lose their legacy according to the principles they uphold or abandon, so be it!
House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy stated, “while Trump was overseas, making America stronger, the Democrats were weakening U.S.” Malarkey! Trump’s actions weaken us daily! New York Times headline screamed, “Trump mocked abroad and assailed at home”. Trump is incapable of world leadership.! The world is alternately laughing and cringing at his actions and foibles; he is unraveling in real time! The Trump administration just tightened work requirement reforms for SNAP; in rural and high-unemployment areas this may result in another 700,000 poor and disabled (if unable to prove disability) losing supplemental nutritional assistance; THIS after delivering billions of dollars in subsidies and welfare payments to farmers to offset trade-war effects. AND, after declaring he was bringing our troops home, Trump is NOW considering sending 14,000 more troops (without approval from Congress) to the Mideast to counter Iranian attacks. (I thought we were OUT OF THAT FIGHT!)
McCarthy stated that ‘their scholar’, Jonathan Turley, in Wednesday’s televised-hearing described these accusations as “the weakest, thinnest impeachment evidence” ever brought forth; and McCarthy then invoked the warning of founding father, Alexander Hamilton: that the time would come when persons in power would wield that power ruthlessly; INDEED! Hamilton had unfortunately been unfaithful to his wife; I assert that Hamilton would have viewed the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton for perjury over an extramarital affair, ACTUALLY the weakest, thinnest impeachment excuse ever brought forward!
