The judicial committee handed down two articles of impeachment this week, and with no surprise, also gave tentative approval of The U.S.M.C.A., but apparently there are a lot of strings attached by the organized labor unions.
The first being “abuse of power”, the accusation being that President Trump abused his position to have a foreign country investigate a political rival when he asked The Ukrainian President to investigate the actions of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, allegedly, in exchange for financial aid. The accusation being that Trump was trying to interfere with the upcoming election, or ask The Ukrainian President to do so, for his own political gain. The problem here is that Joe Biden has not yet been endorsed as the Democratic candidate, so therefore he is not a political rival, the aid was not withheld, and no subsequent investigation of The Bidens ensued.
The second is “Obstruction of Congress”, for withholding both witnesses and documents from Congressional subpoenas. Unfortunately, here too, The President retains the right of Executive Privilege, and Congress must apply through the courts to have their requests be adhered to. Both Adam Shiff and Gerald Nadler failed to follow the law and proper procedure in both their respective committees and make those requests to the courts. Instead these guys who accuse Trump of being an imperialist have done that exact thing themselves, bypassing procedural law and ramming this impeachment down everyone’s throats in just over two months, all the while claiming to be constitutionalists.
Lastly, of course, The Democrats had to pass some version of The U.S.M.C.A. because they were getting such flack from their constituents back home during the holiday. I say too little, too late! Vote them out in 2020!
