The Impeachment Report Is Damning All Right … For Democrats

[Geee]

Issues & Insights

The House impeachment report claims to have “uncovered a months-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election.” (You can read the report here.)

It says that the “scheme subverted U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine and undermined our national security in favor of two politically motivated investigations that would help his presidential reelection campaign.”

And it argues that “To compel the Ukrainian president to do his political bidding, President Trump conditioned two official acts on the public announcement of the investigations: a coveted White House visit and critical U.S. military assistance Ukraine needed to fight its Russian adversary.”

Amid falling support for impeachment and worries that it will backfire against Democrats, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff released a 300-page report he says proves that President Donald Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors worthy of removing him from office. 

And if you read only the summary, you might think they’ve got the goods.

Impeachment BACKFIRE Giving Trump Swing State Advantage, 2020 Democrats BACK AWAY From Impeachment. A new analyses by The Washington post shows that in key election states impeachment is unfavorable with the majority opposing it. In response Trump, his allies, and the GOP have launched a new ad blitz is key states specifically over impeachment. Meanwhile 2020 Democrats are doing their best to distance themselves from impeachment saying they need to focus on issues Americans care about. Impeachment is an overall disaster for Democrats and it seems like the House Democrats may be sabotaging the 2020 Democratic contenders by lumping them into an unwinnable battle.
