Apparently, when embarking on a monumental legal proceeding, it’s perfectly acceptable to ignore facts and focus on fiction.
At least that’s the jest coming from the Democrat party and their appointed impeachment managers.
It all started when Democrats demanded witnesses. Why didn’t they collect every piece of relevant testimony before transferring their case to the Senate? Instead, they want to hand over a rinky-dink wobbly case that wouldn’t hold up in traffic court, much less an impeachment hearing. And then they want the Senate to fill in the many blanks they avoided.
Of course, the Senate can barely stay awake, much less finish the case for the Democrats.
As Rep. Debbie Lesko writes:
As [democrats] made their opening arguments, they left out key information and used cherry-picked quotes and video clips. When we look at the facts the Democrats seem to be forgetting, it could not be more clear that this sham of an impeachment is nothing more than a political hit job against President Trump.
There are four inconvenient—but key—facts that haven’t changed since this impeachment hoax began.
-
- The call transcript shows zero link between aid and political investigations. (And remember, President Trump declassified and released the transcript all on his own.)
- The aid was released without any commitment to new investigations.
- Ukraine did not know aid was withheld at the time of the July 25 phone call.
- President Trump and President Zelensky have both repeatedly said that there was no pressure. In fact, there are multiple Ukrainian officials on the record saying there was no pressure. And absolutely no link between the aid and investigations.
Funny how these all seem to have been forgotten by the impeachment managers.
There are no signs of improvement looming.
In fact, each day is just more of the same.
Lesko continues:
On the second day, Democrats began their opening arguments. They focused much of their attention on Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland. What they neglected to mention from his testimony is that Sondland admitted he has no evidence that President Trump was tying aid to political investigations other than his presumptions. In fact, Sondland testified that President Trump told him, “I want nothing, I want nothing, I want no quid pro quo.” Democrats conveniently left that part out, and the parts where former National Security Council Adviser Tim Morrison and former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker testified there was no quid pro quo, bribery, or extortion. So all the Democrats have is hearsay and presumptions—very convenient for the Democrats to leave this part out while making their case.
Democrats also seem to forget that their own witnesses have already testified under oath that corruption in Ukraine is very concerning and that the Trump Administration has done more for Ukraine than the Obama Administration ever did. Obama gave Ukraine blankets; President Trump gave the Ukrainians lethal aid and a real ability to defend themselves. It is also important to point out that in the House, four of these impeachment managers recently voted against giving Ukraine any aid at all.
And while Democrats have been pursuing their baseless impeachment against President Trump, he has never stopped working for the American people. He announced a historic Phase One Trade Agreement with China, the USMCA is moving forward, and evil terrorist Qassem Soleimani has been eliminated. All of this while maintaining the lowest average unemployment rate in recorded history. It is easy to tell who is really working on behalf of the American people.
Democrats are so lost, they don’t know what to fabricate next.
At some point today, Chuck Schumer said “you don’t need a crime to impeach.”
What in the holy mother of batman does that even mean? Of course you need a crime to impeach. And not just some petty crime, and real bona fide over-the-top high crime. Did these people not read the constitution?
Lesko sums it up like this:
Perhaps the most telling part of this entire sham is that the crimes Democrats are alleging never even made it into the actual articles of impeachment they passed. The only abuse of power here has been from the Democrats. The Democrat party has weaponized impeachment into a political tool because they cannot accept that their own failed candidate did not win the 2016 election. So now they are rushing to impeach with another election just months away. Perhaps the Democrats should stop obstructing Congress and return to working on behalf of the American people, rather than working so hard to influence—and interfere in—the 2020 election.
