Impeachment: a criminal conspiracy
I've not been writing on this sordid tale, which seems endless in its duration and limitless in its disgustingness, but I should at least put in a word. The Democrats began speaking of impeaching Donald Trump within one week of the election, before he had even taken office. They've been jabbering about it ever since, going from one imagined crime to another. Russia fell through, with the collapse of the Comey et al. attempt to frame Trump as being an agent of Putin. Trump is the most anti-Russian president we've had. I would say "since Reagan" except Reagan was anti-Soviet. Now they've latched on to a phony "obstruction of Congress" charge, and "abuse of power."
The Democrat attempts to impeach our President are a genuine criminal conspiracy. But first, let's look at the charges.
"Obstruction of Congress" is an idiotic charge -- one of the jobs of each of the three branches is to obstruct the other two. Each branch is supposed to serve as a check on the powers of the other two; they are supposed to be competitive, not cooperative. And what is it that Trump is alleged to have obstructed? Answer: The Democrats' attempts to remove him from office. The absurdity of the charge defies belief, as does the gullibility and voluntary stupidity of anyone who thinks such a charge makes sense.
"Abuse of power..." The basis for this is that after Joe Biden bragged he threatened to cancel a promised $1 billion loan to Ukraine unless the Ukrainian government fired a prosecutor who appears to have been investigating his son's Ukrainian company for corruption, Donald Trump didn't demand that the Ukrainians investigate Biden, but by rearranging his words and cutting various parts and adding others, the Democrats can claim he did. Again, the absurdity of the charge defies belief, as does the gullibility and voluntary stupidity of anyone who thinks such a charge makes sense.
Why a criminal conspiracy? First, Obama's DoJ, including the FBI, were criminally conspiring to protect Hilliary and take out Trump before the election. Conspiracy? Consider the Strzok-Page texts, Comey's illegal leaks, the secret meeting between Obama's AG Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton, the use of the fraudulent Steele dossier (no relation, BTW). Remember that fact the Hilliary campaign hired Fusion GPS who had Christopher Steele develop a dossier from the Russians which Nellie Ohr (Fusion GPS) gave to her husband Bruce Ohr (asst AG, DoJ) and which the FBI used, knowing it was entirely uncorroborated and suspect, to obtain FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and railroad people associated with him. The FISA court now is asking for explanations. Note that Donald Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reveals nothing inappropriate (unless we define inappropriate as "giving offense to Democrats") and Zelensky denies he was pressured in any way. The call wasn't secret, in the sense that many government officials were involved. The "whistleblower" was not a participant, which by law rules out "whistleblowing," but did work with Joe Biden and was in contact with Adam Schiff prior to any "whistleblowing." Note too the bureaucracy retroactively changed the rules to permit this "whistleblowing" to proceed.
It's conspiracy, and criminal.
OK, sure, to be fair, perhaps it's a bit of a stretch to say this is all a conspiracy. After all, Jeffery Epstein managed to have his suicide watch cancelled, his regular guards replaced, the temporary guards assigned to him fall asleep, the cameras in his cell turned off, and then kill himself by breaking three neck bones that normally only break when being strangled by another.
