This impeachment sham is a blatant Democratic attempt to steal the 2020 election away from voters. Democrats refuse to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election and know they can’t beat President Trump at the ballot box in November.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement Thursday that the House will move forward with writing articles of impeachment in an attempt to remove President Trump from office marks the culmination of months of false statements and broken promises.
Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing squandered an opportunity to educate the public about the criteria for impeaching a president.
As House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., passed the impeachment inquiry baton to the Judiciary Committee this week, he said the central allegation against President Trump is that the president “solicited foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler opened Wednesday’s impeachment hearing with testimony from three left-wing law professors who consider President Trump to be evil incarnate. If Nadler thought this display would somehow convince the public that the president’s actions merit impeachment, he is sure to be disappointed.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s impeachment report promised “uncontested evidence” against President Trump. But a careful reading shows its real purpose is to protect former Vice President Joe Biden from accusations of corruption, while damaging Trump’s reelection chances.
It is tempting to describe Wednesday’s impeachment hearing before the House Judiciary Committee as a farce. But it was worse than that. It made a travesty of fairness.
Impeachment is a historical rarity even when the House (where only a simple majority is needed to file articles of impeachment) is controlled by the president’s opposition party. Prudent lawmakers grasp that it is not merely a waste of time to pursue impeachment in futility. Doing so fosters divisiveness in society.
Faced with a president that is actually batting above 500 on the world stage, critics are grasping at any straw they can find, whether it’s going after the first lady’s wardrobe or showcasing national leaders mildly dishing and giggling like middle-schoolers in the lunchroom.
Don’t be fooled: Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s impeachment charade is exactly that. It’s incompatible with the long and esteemed history of the United States Congress.
Democrats make big promises to black voters in the run-up to every election, but too often those promises are forgotten once the polls close. In part that’s because Democrats just assume the vast majority of black people will vote Democratic.
