The Senate impeachment circus is a culmination of what began in Congress as apparently the latest, and hopefully, the last of the many failed attempts by the Democratic Party to oust President Trump from office.
As a whole host of guesses as to what the Democrats could hang their hats on of what this president could be charged with, it seems that the best they can come up with is “Abuse of Power”. This innocuous term can be used to cover a lot of ground. In this case, however, the supposition is that President Trump improperly used his office to get “dirt” on his political rival.
The rival they refer to is the former Vice President, Joe Biden, who has now thrown his “hat into the ring” to try to win the Democratic nomination to run for president in the upcoming 2020 election, along with about a dozen other folks. The problem that The Democrats have in making up these accusations is that Joe Biden is no more of a political rival than I am. Unless and until, the nomination for the candidacy for the office that Biden is seeking run for is secured, he is of no threat to The President. In other words no rivalry exists between them. So, regardless of what The President sought or didn’t seek at the time, it is of no consequence, no political fallout came to Biden, other than that of his own admission, and certainly, it would not be a criminal act even if there was, nor would it rise to the level of an impeachable act. No harm, no foul.
