Barr’s Powerful Weapon Against Impeachment: The Founding Fathers

Invoking the ghost of Richard Nixon, even if not by name, a big part of the Democrats’ impeachment strategy is to portray President Donald Trump as akin to a dictator who would run rampant if Congress wasn’t there to stop him. And that is what the Constitution is all about – a large group of elected representatives exercising a check on a chief executive whose near-monarchical power tends to corrupt.

Nixon using the powers of government to go after his domestic political enemies in the Watergate scandal is the Democrats’ perfect example. (Although House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently said Trump’s offenses are worse than Nixon’s.)

Last Friday, Attorney General William Barr in effect said, “not so fast!” In a speech in Washington to the Federalist Society, second only to the National Rifle Association as the organization most demonized by Democrats, Barr dug into the very foundation of the legitimacy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff claim regarding scrutinizing one-on-one conversations between a U.S. president and a foreign head of state. 

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the senior National Security Council’s Ukraine expert in the White House, testified to Schiff’s panel on Tuesday that “it was inappropriate, it was improper for the president to request – to demand – an investigation into a political opponent, especially [from] a foreign power.” 

“Demand” is a big stretch, if you look at the transcript of the call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Plus, it would be impossible to combat corruption within Ukraine without running into Hunter Biden and his inexplicable hiring by the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. And official U.S. policy has been and is to fight corruption in the country.:snip:

While all this may be true. They miss the important fact. Trump (font of all that is evil, and a poopyhead) stole the presidency from the nice Ms. Clinton, (the smartest most wonderful caring person in the world), when Everyone told us she was going to win. Besides Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream when everyone else only gets one! What more proof do we need that he should be Impeached?
