Impeachment...Still A Wild Goose Chase
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
"If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from
office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like
fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal."
- the words of Pastor Robert Jeffress as quoted by President Trump on Sept. 29, 2019
Let's start with two indisputable facts...no president in U.S.
history has ever been removed from office by impeachment nor will
President Trump be the first to be so removed. Another fact is that if
impeachment is properly and correctly served as per Article 2, Section 4
of the Constitution, it would only be served for indisputable,
“Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” and not waste
every body's time with the knowingly mundane that in the end will go nowhere. And
the last fact here is that nothing President Trump has been accused
of...not collusion with the Russians not even the innocuous in no way
"quid pro quo" telephone conversation he had with Ukrainian President
Zelensky...reaches anywhere near such a level as to require he be
impeached.
Impeachment in regards to President Donald J. Trump is simply a
partisan driven case of revenge coupled with Democrats misplaced
atonement for Hillary Clinton's loss, a loss that the party hierarchy is
being blamed for what with it (thankfully) denying Barack HUSSEIN Obama
not only his dream of seeing his
“fundamentally changing America” coming
to fruition, but also denying him his much coveted third term in
office...an office attained only by his being the one to pull what would then be President
Hillary's decision making strings.
The Democrats lost the White House prize they so wanted, and like
a whiny two-year old they're now throwing a temper tantrum in the guise
of impeachment as a means of revenge not only against Trump for winning,
but against we half of the American populace who voted for him. And as
an added bonus the House Democrats are still collecting their paychecks
while chasing a dream they know will go nowhere in the Republican
controlled Senate as they relish in not doing the actual jobs
their constituents elected them to do.
An impeachment driven
“cash cow” if you will, coming on the heels of
these same Democrats having ignored the past administration's what truly
were many impeachable offenses, all while the mainstream media aided them in what
actually was a successful cover-up job. And that cover-up job continues
unabated to this day what with the Democrats and the media most assuredly not applying the same
impeachment standards then to Obama that they now apply to President
Trump.
And what of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, the
“supposed” first black
president of these United States...the first bi-racial president
actually...and his attempt to destroy both the American political system
and America herself from within. He surely got away with all that he
did... Benghazi and the 5-for-1 Taliban trade being but two of way too
many...simply because the then Republican controlled Congress were
deathly afraid of the ramifications that could arise if they were
successful in impeaching the country's first
“supposed” black
president. To them it seemed not to matter that the man's very actions
bordered on, if not crossing over into finely-tuned acts of
treason...for what was Obama's many acts of
“aiding and abetting” the
enemy if not treason.
And yet the Republicans themselves have inadvertently obstructed what
could have been justice served via their omission of charges regarding
what was most obviously Obama's criminal and traitorous actions and his
equally traitorous lack thereof. Also something never addressed by both
Republicans and Democrats...mostly mainstream Democrats that is...was Obama's
deliberately and ever so maliciously dividing our country along racial lines.
And those on the Republican side who knew about his administration's
blanket corruption... Uranium One and the I.R.S. scandal are but two
instances that immediately come to mind...now sees certain Republicans
again undermining via omission what should be the truth seeking process
regarding President Trump...a process we can no longer trust solely to
Republicans as too many turncoats...too many RINOs...are now within
their ranks.
And why is that trust as well as their loyalty coming into
question...because recently 129 Republicans in the House voted with
the Democrats in condemning our president for his withdrawing our
troops from Syria. And if they can do that in regards to Syria just
image how the RINOs amongst them will vote when and if true
"articles of impeachment" are ever leveled against President Trump...against an innocent man.
Loyalty seems tenuous at best to some Republicans as they
willfully forget how Democrats joined together to circle the wagons
around then President Obama during his many times of political
woe...joined together to protect a man they knew was a traitor to this
country and yet they protected him. And here we have President Trump
having committed no crime whatsoever, but because Democrats squawk the
loudest we saw 129 Republicans siding with Democrats against a rightful
action taken by our president to break the cycle of America being
involved in endless wars not of our doing...sided with the Democrats no matter another campaign promise was kept.
So with the Democrats, the mainstream media, and the collective known
as the
“Never Trumpers”...led by turncoat Mitt Romney...it seems
imperative that President Trump be impeached no matter the cost, no
matter the time wasted, and
it's a call that began even before Trump was officially sworn into
office. And this leads to the sad truth that the Democrat members of the
House...members who care nothing about the Constitution...the
document they claim is “
old and outdated”...are now using that very document
to try and take President Trump down. And they know they can try and try
again because the Constitution sets few procedural parameters for
impeachment nor does it specify how impeachment proceedings are to be
initiated. Basically, all the Constitution states is that the House of
Representatives
"shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" (Article I,
section 2), and that
"the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all
Impeachments…[but] no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence
of two-thirds of the Members present" (Article I, Section 3).
Think of it this way because the Democrats surely have, in that their
Constitutional right to impeach a sitting president is along the same
line as criminal charges being brought by a grand jury, with a judge
and/or jury than deciding the defendant's fate. But the difference in
President Trump's case is that the Democrat's hope that with enough of
their vitriol and lies spewed that they can sway the court of public
opinion to such a degree that some RINO Republicans in the Senate will
start thinking their way.
A plan simple in concept yet convoluted in application as right now
it's but an impeachment inquiry not a formal call for impeachment
itself.
And to that affect, last Wednesday the House Democrats unveiled the
text of a resolution that laid out
procedures for public hearings as the
impeachment inquiry enters its so-called
"public-facing phase." After reading the text the
White House said the resolution actually
"confirms" that the inquiry
"has
been an illegitimate sham from the start." Personally, I saw the resolution as being the mother of all Trump witch hunts.
The resolution itself directed
"certain committees to continue their
ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of
Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the
House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to
impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America,
and for other purposes." Translation...
the procedural resolution laid out
the framework for public hearings and eventual proceedings in the
Judiciary Committee...the very committee tasked with crafting any potential "articles of
impeachment" if the inquiry was to go so far.
And
so last Thursday after the procedural resolution itself passed the
preceding day, said resolution went to the full House for vote. And as
expected the Democrat controlled House saw it being passed mostly along
party lines.
The
vote was 232 to 196, with all Republicans voting "nay" while two Democrats, Reps.
Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey and Collin Peterson of Minnesota, also
voted against the resolution...in fact they were the only two Democrats
to vote against the resolution even moving forward. Kudos to them I say.
And former Republican turned Independent, Michigan Rep. Jason Amash,
voted, as expected, with the Democrats in support of the now formalized
inquiry resolution.
So
now the House Intelligence
Committee is officially authorized to hold public hearings and compose a
report to be delivered to
the Judiciary Committee, where President Trump and his counsel will have
the right to cross examine witnesses and review evidence. Also, the
Republicans
can request testimony from witnesses in either committee, subject to
the approval of the Democratic chairman or a full committee vote.
Something sure stinks here as Trump's now arch enemy Adam Schiff would
be the one making the decision...Adam Schiff would be the judge and jury
of it all.
And Republicans are rightfully not happy at
all...not about the resolution vote, not about the partisan railroading
of an innocent man, and surely not about this inquiry now turning into a
phishing expedition to try and accomplish what Robert Mueller's investigation
could not.
Now it should become obvious to all as to why President Trump rightfully called this entire inquiry process nothing but a
“sham.”
And
to add more credence to Trump's claim now comes the fact that the
whistleblower's cover has been blown and there's no real surprise here.
His name is Eric Ciaramella, he's a CIA analyst and a Ukraine expert, a
former National Security Council staffer, and (again no surprise) a registered Democrat with direct ties to Joe Biden (as in his
"point man"
on Ukraine), John Brennan, and Adam Schiff, as well as his having been
appointed to the White House detail by Obama himself during the
transition period...so the word
"sham" puts it mildly...the words
"orchestrated setup" puts it more directly.
Simply,
this road to impeachment is a road paved solely with revenge for the
Democrats White House loss in 2016 as witnessed by their new 2020 battle
cry being,
"Impeach Him Because We Can't Beat Him!" And this obvious shill, I believe, will in the end signal the death knell for this impeachment nonsense.
So
while the inquiry itself now technically has some legality to it, one
still has to wonder why the
Democrats were holding closed door meetings...meetings that didn't allow
the one being accused to face his
accuser...and were any legalities breached when the Democrats claimed
that no actual resolution was required under the Constitution
or House rules, in that other impeachment efforts to remove officials,
like judges, started without such a vote.
And again as expected the Democrats got another ally in Obama appointed Washington D.C. Federal District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell..who
"declared" that
the House's impeachment inquiry was both
“legal and legitimate” no
matter that at the time the full House had not yet voted on any resolution to actually
authorize an inquiry. And why is this important...because it involves
secret grand jury testimony that AG William Barr
“supposedly” tried to
withhold...testimony that Judge Howell now ruled the House Judiciary
Committee is entitled to see. And what does this evidence involve but
evidence gathered by special counsel Robert Mueller...evidence that
Congress normally would have no right to see. Saying that the
committee's right to view said evidence outweighs any need to keep the
information secret from lawmakers,
Howell based her decision upon the
fact that back in both 1974 and 1997 the courts permitted lawmakers to
see such materials as they decided on whether or not to impeach then
Presidents Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton respectively. But there's one big difference between this inquiry and those two
impeachment inquiries in the fact that there is no independent counsel to gather documents and
interview witnesses for Congress, so lawmakers are doing it themselves.
And yet Judge Beryl Howell decided that the Democrat
controlled House was involved in the exact same legal process being
focused on President Trump as it was on Nixon and Clinton decades ago.
But this activist judge in her ruling actually denied Republicans
subpoena power that would
have allowed them to carry out a so-called
“parallel investigation” into
the
"questionable" actions of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son
Hunter regarding Ukraine, as well as denying the calling of witnesses that could have countered
and debunked the charges made against President Trump.
But
even though President Trump and House Republicans have now taken a
legal hit because of the procedural resolution passing...a resolution
that is anything but fair and impartial...they can still use this
impeachment
farce, especially with the partisan hack of a whistleblower now being
outed, to help raise doubts in the eyes of the voters while continuing
to
hold the
“trump card” regarding the fact that nothing of substance is
being accomplished in Congress what with the Democrats remaining focused
on what was, is, and will always remain an impeachment wild goose
chase.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La) told ABC's "This Week" host
George Stephanopoulos that Trump had a legal requirement to ensure that
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was rooting out corruption before
Trump could legally send foreign aid to Ukraine. Rep. Scalise said the
National Defense Authorization Act passed last year requires the
president to certify a country is rooting out corruption before the
president can send taxpayer money to that country.
