Check out Chris Stewart’s (R, Utah) questioning of Marie Yovanovitch from last Friday.
Pay special attention to the start of the segment. Yovanovitch professes that she has no knowledge of bribery or any other crime committed by the president. So what, then, is this all about? Will the House Dems impeach over over a comparatively mild request (mild when compared to the Obama administration’s 2016 dirty tricks) for Ukraine to investigate the possible corruption of one of Trump’s political rivals? If so, there will be no conviction in the Senate. So why the political burlesque show? It’s about the 2020 election. The Dems have a two-track strategy of feeding red meat (impeachment) to the red-revolutionary base of the party while muddying and bloodying Trump for the general.
They tried branding Trump as an asterisk president with “Trump, the Manchurian candidate”. That didn’t work. They tried parading about the emoluments clause. That didn’t work. They’d like to get their hands on his tax returns and sift those for any dirt. But that’ll take too long. Then 2018 gave them the control of the impeachment half of Congress. Like an excited bloodhound, they have their nose in the air for the scent of anything that could be shoehorned into an impeachment charge.
So, here we are. Forget about “peaceful transfers of power” or a “honeymoon”. The Resistance was formed on Jan. 21, 2017, the day after Trump placed his hand on the Bible. It had agent provocateurs scattered throughout the bureaucratic bowels of DC. Large mainstream media was fully on-board. All elements are present for the reversal of an election that politically entrenched classes never accepted. So much for popular sovereignty.
