Op-ed:
When the Political Circus Came to
Town...and Stayed
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /

It's a Democrat three-ring political circus replete with a side
freak show. And this newest Democrat circus came into Washington D.C.
and set up its tent on November 8, 2016 when at 1:35am EST Donald J.
Trump passed the needed 270 votes to win the Electoral College and
officially become President of these United States. And that
political circus hasn't left town ever since.
A three-ring political circus for sure, and in ring one we have
for your reading enjoyment
“witch hunts;” center ring two
is the Democrats laser-focused attempt at
“impeachment;”
and in ring three we see the always crowd pleasing
“political
coup,” something that's been in the works all along. And all
three rings have standing at center ring the denizens of the freak
show, otherwise known as the Democrat hierarchy, who know that 2020
is already lost so why not keep this circus going.
So now lets turn our attention to each ring...and please put down
your popcorn and stop twirling your AOC cupie troll dolls on a
stick...in order to understand just how much this political circus is
actually costing we taxpayers not just in monies spent but in time
wasted by Democrats who are not doing the jobs they were elected to
do.
And so let's visit ring one...the ring known as
“witch
hunts.” No president in history has been
“witch hunted,”
as much as President Trump...and it's all because America spoke and
picked him over Hillary Clinton to become our 45th president. And
here I'm going to focus on the top three media driven
“witch
hunts,” two of which are
interconnected, the third being fairly new.
First comes“witch
hunt” ground zero...the U.S. Department of Justice forming a
special counsel to investigate
“supposed” Russian
interference in the 2016 presidential election...as in then candidate
Trump
“supposedly”
colluding with the Russians to help assure that he becomes
president. After wasting two-years time and spending $32 plus million
of our taxpayer monies, Special Council Robert Mueller found that
neither Donald Trump, his family, nor his campaign conspired or
colluded with the Russians. Time wasted and money spent on what
Democrats thought would be Trump's political death knell, but to
their chagrin it was not.
Next up in
“witch hunt” circus ring one is the
“obstruction of justice” charge related to President Trump's firing
of then F.B.I. Director James Comey. Comey claimed during a March 27, 2019
interview with NBC anchor Lester Holt that he believed Trump had potentially
obstructed justice when he
“supposedly” admitted during a
previous NBC interview that he was
“thinking about Russia”
when he was fired. Yet even after Comey's allegations became
part of Mueller's
“collusion” debacle, no conclusion
about obstruction was reached regarding either Comey's firing or the
nine other instances of possible obstruction. And that including the
“supposed” attempts by Trump to stop the public from seeing
evidence regarding a June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between
senior campaign officials, including his son Donald Trump Jr., and a
Russian attorney who was said to be offering damaging information
about Hillary Clinton. Simply, if no conclusion regarding these two
charges or the eight others was reached means no
“obstruction of
justice” could be
proven to have taken place...a
nother
“witch hunt” for nought.
And while the Democrats have thrown a few other lesser
“witch
hunts” into the mix...like porno star Stormy Daniels' lies about a sexual dalliance with President Trump; the Democrats still demanding Trump's tax
returns be made public; and their trying to prove that Trump is a racist which we know he's not...it's this newest whistleblower
scandal over a phone call and its ensuing complaint that is focused
“witch hunt” number three. And this sees the Democrats twisting a
July 25th phone call President Trump made to congratulate Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky on winning his recent election into a
fractured fairy tale of lies and innuendos about Trump pressuring
Zelensky into either investigating the business dealings of Joe
Biden’s son Hunter to help him influence the 2020 election, or else
he would withhold U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
So while the phone
call transcript clearly shows this not to be true, and even while
President Zelensky said it was not true, the Democrats were off and
running with the nine page complaint from an intelligence-community
whistleblower. Basically stating that the Trump administration tried
to cover up what the president told his Ukrainian counterpart, we now
see President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and Secretary
of State Mike Pompeo being thrown into this
“witch hunt”
mix.
And it's Mike Pompeo that the Democrats are now focusing on as
he's admitted to being present when said phone call was made.
Thinking that if they could somehow show that Pompeo stepped over
some obscure legal line that maybe a
“twofer” could be had
courtesy of this latest impeachment
“witch hunt”...as
in their removing the fourth person in line for the presidency...what
a “political coup”
for the Democrats that would be.
So now let's move on to circus
ring two...“impeachment”...which
circus ring one directly leads into for while many House Democrats
have stated in the past that Trump should be impeached, after the
Mueller report and testimony went belly-up their efforts to
impeach President Trump seemed
to be dead in the water, but now the whistleblower scandal has
brought “impeachment”
back to life.
“
Impeachment”...how
the Democrats salivate over that word what with Hillary Clinton and
Barack HUSSEIN Obama secretly egging them on from the shadows. And
with the whistleblower complaint front and center, the Democrats see
this as their last chance to take down President Trump before an
election they know that with the candidates now running they simply
can't win.
And even with the whistleblower's
complaint being the hoped for conduit by which to take Trump down,
Democrats still face many hurdles as the complaint reeks of being
politically motivated. In fact, said complaint was known to be
overtly anti-Trump even before it was officially filed, because it
has now come to light that the chairman of the House Intelligence
Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, knew about this complaint a full
month before it was filed and kept mum about it. Talk about
“obstruction of justice” I'd say.
In fact, a spokesman for Schiff admitted that Schiff knew all this
leading many, including this author, to suspect that Adam Schiff was
either someone who helped the whistleblower write the actual
complaint...most of which was written in
“legalize”...or
perhaps even helped this partisan hack make up this assorted mess all
in a misguided attempt to not only help impeach a duly-elected
sitting president, but to insure that the Democrats take back the
White House in 2020 no matter who their nominee might be.
Time to call for an investigation into Adam Schiff if for no other
reason than Schiff knew just how determined said whistleblower was to
accomplish what Robert Mueller could not. And this helps to explain
why Schiff kept on pushing for the complaint to be seen by lawmakers
even after the Trump administration, he says, initially tried to
block lawmakers from seeing it...to push even more so after DNI
General Counsel Jason Klitenic overruled the inspector general who
said that the complaint was not of
“urgent concern,” as
it
“concerned conduct by someone outside of the Intelligence
Community” (the president), and that it
“involves
confidential and potentially privileged communications.”
And so now the race to impeach President Trump is back on via
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling for an
“impeachment inquiry.”
And while the Democrat controlled House will likely march in
lock-step and vote to impeach, the Senate will not, making this yet
another waste of our taxpayer dollars while the Democrats continue to
draw big paychecks for again not doing the jobs they were elected to
do.
So now that we've been privy to what circus ring two has to offer,
let's move on to ring three before venturing into the freak side show
aspect of this political circus. So with that, political circus ring
three deals with what is and has always been the Democrat's attempt
at a
“political coup”...a
sour grapes partisan based “political coup” and
nothing else.
But how is what the Democrats are doing to President Trump a
“political coup?” Remember,
a coup, political or otherwise, has as its goal the replacing of the
person in power. And while a presidential “impeachment”
is simply the
congressional equivalent of an indictment by the House, if the Senate
follows through by convicting an impeached president and legally
removes said president from office, it's the vice-president who then
becomes president thus keeping the president's party itself
intact...intact that is until those perpetrating the
“political
coup” decide it isn't enough and go after the vice-president in
an attempt to change the party itself in power. And that's something
I don't put past this mob... yes mob...salivating as they wait for
the official call to start
“impeachment” proceedings
against President Trump, which rumor has it if all goes according to
plan will be ready by early November.
And yet the actual process of Constitutionally based
“impeachment”
while being a political process
in and of itself, was
strictly designed to check and then hold the president accountable
for
“improper behavior,” such as legally corrupt acts like
bribery, abuses of power, or treason...basically
"high crimes and misdemeanors"...it was not designed by our Founders and Framers to be
used to push forward an agenda driven
“political coup.”
And it surely was not designed as a device for the overturning of an
election whose results the opposing party doesn't like...and this is
the bottom line for what the Democrats are doing...as in using
“impeachment” as a
“political coup”...because
they cannot accept the fact that Hillary Clinton is not president.
And know this
“political coup” has been in the works
ever since Donald Trump officially announced his candidacy back on
June 15, 2016, building to a crescendo when he swore to uphold the
Constitution when assuming the office of the presidency on January
20, 2017. And ever since then the actions of government officials and
employees in various departments, the actions of the Democrat hierarchy as well as those in the Democrat controlled House, have
been to disparage, discredit and fan the flames of discontentment towards
not just President Trump himself but towards his entire family, as
well as the entirety of those in his administration...and if that's
not a
“political coup” attempt than I don't know what is.
So now that we've been witness to the three ring part of this
ongoing political circus, it's time to briefly address the main
characters in this political circus freak show. And I say briefly
because the stench of
“the swamp” runs deep amongst them.
And that stench begins with both Hillary Clinton and Barack HUSSEIN
Obama himself for if Hillary had won Obama would have gotten his
coveted third term in office by him being the one to pull Hillary's
strings in all matters political and global. And then there's House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi who first was against impeachment knowing it
would die in the Senate, who caved to pressure from the socialist,
far-left loon faction of her party, and who now has called for a formal
“impeachment inquiry.” Also add in Robert Mueller and
James Comey, the
“supposed” impartial investigator who was
anything but, and the ever lying political hack former F.B.I. Director
James Comey who saw their collusion
“witch hunt” go up in
flames.
And to make the stench even worse enters freak show denizen Rep.
Adam Schiff and his, I believe, bought and paid for whistleblower who
was not a witness to any of his or her accusations made but who trusted
unnamed sources as being credible. Two rotten partisan peas from the
very same rotten partisan pod as Schiff was most likely the one who
wrote the official complaint that set this latest call for
“impeachment” in motion. And know there are many involved,
but to name them all would be an article in and of itself.
.
So now that I've laid out this political circus' three ring main
attractions as well as showed some denizens who inhabit its freak
show, does that mean this circus will finally pack up and leave
town...not likely I'm sorry to say.
And why...because a few days ago,
as I was writing this article, even more attractions were added to this three ring circus as President Trump publicly called on China to
investigate Joe Biden for his possible interference in the upcoming
2020 election...a cleverly crafted counter move against those who are
already investigating him. Now add in that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi asking her to suspend her party's so wanted
"impeachment proceedings" until she explains how she would include Republicans in the proceedings and that she she needed to lay out the
"ground rules"... something required by law...and that he also signed a resolution to censure Adam Schiff because he,
"has been lying to the American people for years. Now he is so desperate to damage the president he literally made up a false version of a phone call." A rightfully deserved censure I'd say.
And while I'm sure new attractions will be added daily to this
“overstayed its welcome” political circus, one just has to
wonder when it will pack up and leave town. I believe I can answer
that...how about on November 6, 2020 when President Donald J. Trump
wins his second term in office, the Democrats lose control of the
House, the Republicans gain an even bigger majority in the Senate,
and Trump gets to nominate two new Supreme Court justices. Can't wait
to see the Democrats crawling away to lick their wounds while taking
shelter in their safe spaces...and I bet you can't either.
