Op-ed:

Impeachment Ramifications...Democrat Style

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“To impeach or not to impeach” is surely not the question for we all know that Nancy Pelosi has caved to the far left socialist wing of her party. And she's done this even while knowing that the mob call...yes...mob call to impeach President Trump will die a rightful death in the Senate. Impeachment now is but an allegorical and ever so placating hoped for life saver the Democrats are throwing into their own murky political “swamp” no matter that the general public...no matter that folks who voted for those on the blue side of the aisle back in 2016...are wise to the fact that the Democrats are simply not doing the job they were elected to do. Instead they're wasting our hard earned taxpayer dollars and valuable what should be work time on another in a long list of “witch hunts,” and getting paid very big bucks to do so.

But there is a bright side here as the call for President Trump's impeachment...even though for now it's but a formal “impeachment inquiry”...will see it coming back to haunt the Democrats come November 6, 2020, as fence-sitting Democrats and the more moderate of their ilk...aka “blue dog” and JFK Democrats...will focus more on the man who put more money in their pockets than on the man who placed a phone call to a foreign leader...which is part of his job description I might add.

And history itself bears this scenario out. How so? Briefly, remember back when the Republicans tried to impeach Billy-Boy Clinton, and that while he did get impeached in the House it failed in the Senate. The call for Clinton's impeachment officially began on October 8, 1998, when the U.S. House of Representatives...a then Republican controlled House...voted to start said proceedings against the 42nd president for "high crimes and misdemeanors"... crimes detailed in two “articles of impeachment”...the first for “lying under oath,” and the second for “obstruction of justice” with both charges derived from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against then President Clinton by Paula Jones.

Now remember that on December 19, 1998, said Republican controlled House formally adopted...as in voted on...the “articles of impeachment”...H.Res.611...and sent said articles to the Senate for a vote and hoped for adjudication. The Senate trial began in January 1999, with Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist presiding. And on February 12th, President Clinton was acquitted...found not guilty...on both counts because neither count received the necessary two-thirds majority vote of those senators present for roll call, thus allowing Clinton to remain in office...as a “lame duck” president...for the remainder of his second term.

And the ramifications for his party, besides Bill Clinton's “lame duck” status, was that when the general public realized that the then Democrat controlled Senate votes for impeachment were not there, a full half of Democrats interviewed in a Gallup poll admitted that they supported impeachment, but 57% said they also approved of the Senate's decision to keep Clinton in office with two thirds saying that to impeach a duly-elected sitting president was “harmful and detrimental” to our country.

“Harmful and detrimental” to our country as in “We the People”...including Democrats... knew back then what we should know today but obviously have forgotten, impeachment, especially the Democrat's so wanted impeachment of President Trump, sees our country being divided both politically and morally more so than it was during Bill Clinton's time... that and the fact that just like with the Democrats of today, once the impeachment proceedings began no actual “business” Clinton was elected to do got done. And also like with Clinton, the impending Trump impeachment fiasco sees the media alone being the biggest winner for obvious ratings and monetary reasons.

And don't forget that the Democrats lost the White House when George H.W. Bush was elected and lost control of both Houses of Congress in elections soon thereafter, thus proving that the cry for impeachment has consequences the accusers themselves will surely not like.

But, while under Bill Clinton our economy was strong...as it is more so under President Donald Trump...Clinton's impeachment was based upon...if truth be told...his being a morally corrupt, ever lying, disgrace to the office, sexual pervert...while Trump's call for impeachment is but based upon...if again truth be told...a party's ever so misguided loyalty to a shrew of a woman who should never have been running for president in the first place for her “high crimes and misdemeanors” were and still are well known...can you say Benghazi and Uranium One...just two of so many.

But even with differences in the cause and affect aspect of each man's call for impeachment, the all important key difference between the Clinton and Trump call for impeachment is that President Trump is seeing House Speaker and former Democrat “queen bee” Nancy Pelosi...former because she is now actually catering to and doing the bidding of socialist AOC and “the Squad”...recently announcing that a formal “inquiry to impeach” is under way without an actual vote for impeachment being taken in the House, at least not yet. And while there technically is no mandated constitutional call for a House vote to be needed to start impeachment proceedings against a sitting president, this newest flip-flop call by Pelosi for Trump's impeachment is just one more call to add to the Democrat's “witch hunt” to-do list...a list started on the very day the man...the day Donald J. Trump...was sworn into office as our 45th president and Hillary was not.

So while it's trying on the nerves and redundant I know, the bottom line is that in Trump's case he has become the Democrats only end game target even after they continuously fail to prove that he has actually committed an impeachable offense. So it's back to the drawing board they go to try and try again as the Democrat hierarchy has us again bearing witness to constructs of crimes that never took place...crimes they alone constructed to fit their political agenda coupled with the party loyal not so secretly still seeking revenge for Hillary's loss.

And this latest Democrat call for impeachment is way more important than all those in the past for when Trump's lawyers...when Trump himself...present their case as to why this is just another version of the same old, same old nonsense, exposed in the process will be former Vice-President Joe Biden which in turn will open up a whole new can of worms regarding Barack HUSSEIN Obama and Hillary Clinton, his then secretary of state...a can of worms the Democrats might not be able to force all the worms back into.

And it's the early bird who will catch that stray worm because President Trump and his attorneys will have every legal right to call for telephone transcripts regarding certain phone calls made by Joe Biden...whether those calls were made on Obama's directions or behalf or strictly on his own...calls to Iran, China, and dare I say Ukraine, the very country now at the crux of this latest brouhaha. Ukraine, the very country Democrats say that Trump, in a July 25th phone call, basically demanded on the threat of withholding military aid, that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “investigate Joe Biden” because his son Hunter had dealings with an Ukrainian energy company while Biden, who in his capacity as vice president, was handling international relations with that very country. “Quid pro quo” is the Democrats claim...yet it's nothing but a lie in their ongoing hoped for President Trump impeachment reality game.

You can read more about that in my recently published op-ed entitled, Joe, Hunter, and James...Corruption Personified. 

So with Joe Biden himself now seeing his poll numbers falling to an Indian maiden who is anything but, Biden's refusing to answer reporters questions along with his trying to dictate to the media who on Trump's legal team can or cannot appear on their networks...and as more and more of we bloggers expose the truth about the Ukraine mess...something the media refuses to do without their usual fact twisting or omitting...Joe Biden appears like a deer caught in the headlights for his above stated actions show him and his son to be as guilty as sin, after all why get so upset about Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani talking to the media if, as Biden claims, nothing improper took place.

And what better way to mask one's own faux pas than to hide yourself in plain sight. But the question is, will Obama even try to bail “old white man” Joe Biden out of this mess...I surely think not as Obama has not yet even endorsed Biden's presidential run and probably never will as he's most likely too afraid of too many secrets leaking out of Uncle Joe's always placed foot in his mouth.

So what happens now that a second whistleblower...and there's possible more...claims to have direct knowledge of President Donald Trump's call to Ukrainian President Zelensky, and is trying to decide if he or she will also file a formal complaint. And with Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson being said to have interviewed this second individual who supposedly has corroborated the first whistleblower's allegations...a whistleblower who is a fellow registered Democrat with a political bias against President Trump and who admitted preferring another (as in Hillary) presidential candidate...one has to know that of course the second whistleblower corroborated the first as the second whistleblower was probably the same person the original whistleblower secured his or her information from...secured his lies and innuendos that is.

But know, as I previous stated, this entire impeachment fiasco will implode on the Democrats and not on President Trump for while many Democrats do want to see President Trump gone...most for party indoctrinated misguided reasons...other Democrats who did not support him in 2016 now do...and it's these mainstream more moderate Democrats who see the economy under President Trump working in their favor.

And then there's a few things the Democrats never saw coming.

Remember, in 2016 only 8% of black Americans voted for President Trump as the vast majority stayed loyal to the Democrat party...the party who has done literally nothing for them except chain them to a form of modern day slave mentality by making them dependent on a party and the government for their every need. Today we see that number of blacks now supporting President Trump inching up with some polls showing that number now almost at 38% of black voters...black voters who thanks to the man the Democrats fear most now see their lowest unemployment numbers ever...as in 5.5%...and who like the rest of America see more of their paycheck monies staying in their own pockets. And besides, President Trump has not thrown black Americans under the bus like the Democrats have done...Democrats who clearly let it be known that they now favor the illegal vote over the black American vote.

And also giving the Democrats pause, although they won't admit it, is that Hispanic Americans...legal hard working Hispanic Americans...are also seeing their lowest unemployment numbers ever...3.9% as of this past September's job numbers. And whether the Democrat hierarchy like it or not it's jobs and paychecks that will ring the loudest come November 2020 no matter the Democrats anti-Trump impeachment agenda.

It's all about the economy folks, always has been, always will be. And with our economy now seeing its lowest unemployment rate in 50 years...as in 3.5%...and with that economy strong and growing even stronger by the day, the Democrats trying to sell their rhetoric that in 2020 the U.S. will be in a recession is simply so not true...something only the politically blinded sheeple will buy into.

And one final thing Democrats never saw coming was President Trump fighting back in the manner he currently is by throwing down the proverbial gauntlet via a stern, no holds barred 8-page letter sent by White House counsel Pat Cipollone to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Reps. Adam Schiff, Elliot Engle, and Elijah Cummings...chairmen of the various House committees trying to impeach President Trump.

Stating amongst other things that Democrats "seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen," and that, "Congressional Democrats have flouted the Constitution and all past bipartisan precedent under the guise of an impeachment inquiry," translates into President Trump, his administration, and his legal team...which now includes as an "outside counsel" the very attorney...the very prosecutor...Democrats fear most...Trey Gowdy...who will all refuse to engage with a process they consider to be constitutionally invalid...which it most assuredly is.

So let the impeachment games begin for with the Democrats knowing well that impeachment will surely die in the Senate, President Trump really has nothing to fear and can continue to make America great again...not that he's ever stopped. And please President Trump keep your tweets coming as they get under the Democrats skin, as we your supporters know that it's actually you who is controlling the ongoing impeachment game for the “Master of the Deal” strikes yet again as the Democrats have no clue as to what or especially who indictment wise might just see themselves in the hot seat next.
