Pro-Trump preachers on message against impeachment probe

The Democrats and Liberal Media are touting the impeachment proceedings as if certain Trump will be successfully impeached. They say that when the general public understands what Democrats already know, popular support will convince the Senate to vote for removal.

And yet, they treat the 2020 election as if its certain Trump will run. Michael Bloomberg is considering running because he doesn’t see a Democrat who can beat Trump. Not only does nearly everyone expect Trump to run, but are apparently unconvinced that the drawn out drama of the impeachment will weaken Trump sufficiently to make him easily beatable. Well, which is it? Is there really substantial and convincing evidence to remove him, or is this all a dog and pony show? If impeachment is necessary because of the gravity of Trump’s high crimes, why do they act as if they cannot succeed? Its enough to make one suspect they know they do not have the goods. Are we really surprised that many view this as a charade? Democrats are doing this for the good of our country. Really?

….to this farce is that—really per Tyler’s comments—that norms of good investigation are not being followed. Schiff has been running things like a grand jury investigation where the old proverb is that you can indict a ham sandwich for just about anything. The ugly reality about this is that things like mandatory discovery of evidence for both sides, cross examination, and the like are actually how the truth is best arrived at. Schiff’s refusal to allow these basic standards of justice to operate tells us what kind of investigation he’s running—“Kangaroo court” is about the most printable thing I can say about it.

To draw a picture, imagine what one might find if, say, the Biden money from Burisma was investigated. You would find, I believe, exactly the same kind of quid pro quo arrangement phrased in precisely the same concerns by diplomats. Really, the same question I expressed before holds; why is it hugely significant that the Trump administration wanted a deal for the Bidens investigated, but not significant at all that Hunter Biden scored sinecures with the Ukrainians and Chinese at the same time his father was handling diplomacy for both countries?

Along the same lines, since corruption is one of the chief obstacles to the long term prosperity of the entire former Warsaw Pact region (happy 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, BTW!), couldn’t we make a reasonable argument that the Biden bribes were indeed a key point which could result in a great deal of corruption being removed from Ukraine—and then you would have a situation where citizens of that country would suddenly have a much better reason to fight for it.

One key point made as well—going back to my first point—is that the Republicans, in their opening comments, made clear their displeasure with Schiff’s kangaroo court. It is to say, again, “Adam, if you want to indict a ham sandwich, be my guest, but at the end of the day, we are going to make clear that is exactly what you have done.”
