President Trump’s acts are definitely impeachable; the facts are crystal clear! Trump elevated his personal, political interests while undermining our national security interests. Three of John Bolton’s deputies came forth and testified during open-impeachment hearings, delivering details on the apparent scheme or back-channel to extort or force the newly-elected Ukrainian-president Zelensky, to announce via CNN that he was opening an investigation into Trump’s political rival, Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden and Burisma, the energy company for which he’d worked. Trump conditioned crucial aid to Ukraine on that slanderous announcement, a meeting with Zelensky, (desperately-desired) and froze $400 million in Congressionally-approved foreign aid to Ukraine, (a fledging-democracy, fighting Russia there, so we don’t have to fight them here). The approved aid-monies had to be spent by 9/30/19, the end of the fiscal period, or be lost to them. Zelensky needed the aid immediately to help save lives.
We have dedicated, hard-working, nonpartisan diplomats and intelligence-officials, who work diligently for our nation, and Donald Trump undermines them all. Thomas Jefferson said something to the effect that ‘if a country spends more on diplomats and diplomacy, they would spend less on armies, armaments, and human lives’. Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any supporters. What if he were to stroll down Constitution Boulevard and set our Constitution ablaze? Our democracy depends on protecting our Rule of Law. William Barr, nefarious Attorney General, (who should also be impeached) recently spoke before the Federalist Society, saying that “liberals are shredding norms, legislative & judicial branches are encroaching on Executive authority”. The Executive branch is NOT weakening! The presidency has become more powerful than our founding fathers envisioned it to be. If the presidency has been weakened, it’s because the office-holder has weakened the Rule of Law, and has disgraced the office; he will use anything and anyone in service to his own personal, political interests. Attacking and undermining our allies, while strengthening and upholding autocrats and dictators, attacking the freedom of the press, displaying unintelligence, instability, blatantly rude, hateful, bigoted behavior, while involving himself in continual criminal activities, violating the Emoluments Clause, pardoning cohorts and persons of dishonor, weakens the office. High crimes and misdemeanors, Bribery, Extortion, Obstruction of Justice, Obstruction of Congress, Abuse of power and justice, Betrayal of Oath of Office could all be included in Articles of Impeachment to be brought against the 45th president of this United States!
