There has been nothing in American history that compares to the current ongoing coup. This is not an impeachment. It definitely is an attack against the President. It has been nothing but an abuse of the Constitution. The action says more about those prosecuting than those defending.
Why?
There is no basis for action. There is no evidentiary support for the charges. One of the charges is for something SCOTUS has effectively ruled on and ruled against the House. What remains is a single political accusation. That charge is without basis in either law or the constitution.
In this case the word should not be impeachment. Rather, it should be coup. Why? Because the opposition political party is targeting the president illicitly for removal from office. He is guilty of doing his job in asking questions about Ukrainian and possibly other corruption.
There is $8.8 billion of US aid that has evaporated there. The American taxpayer has an interest in knowing what is done with the money. Ukraine has received universal recognition for being rife with corruption. Looking out for American interests is the job of the President. From the testimony in the House we know his foreign policy has had opposition and contradiction from State Department officials.
What the House wants…
The president is enduring an ongoing attack for objecting to the House Democrats’ abuse of his office… and he’s correct in objecting. The House coup is an attempt to convert our constitutional republic to a parliamentary system. The House wants to make the President, the executive branch, answerable to Congress. That is a direct attack on the Presidency by Congress.
The legislative and executive branches are co-equal branches of government. Neither is to be subordinate to the other. Impeachment requires felonious behavior not political or personal offense. It should only be done when we can reach bipartisan support. What has gone on does not measure up to that standard.
The game of withholding the articles of impeachment is just that… a game. The action is being undertaken to deny President Trump justice in the Senate. This is another unconstitutional violation of his God-given due process rights. But the socialists in the Democrat Party are about tyranny, power and control.
Parliament, Aid Follow-up, Congressional and Agency Behavior
Congress has expanded the coup effort. Now, not only does the House want to make the executive branch an administrative creature subordinate to Congress, but it wants to control the United States Senate too. This is clearly a bridge too far. For we the people to tolerate this behavior is to endorse its goals.
The U.S. Senate should reject these acts of tyranny by the House of Representatives. There is a great need to investigate the Ukrainian aid. Where did it go? Did any of it return to the U.S. for illicit purposes? How much involvement is there by the unelected unaccountable fourth branch of government in corrupt acts? It appears there are corrupt acts both foreign and domestic related to the Congressional efforts.
Why is it reasonable to retain FISA? For its demonstrated political bias and willingness to insert itself into domestic politics the FBI should be dismantled. The DoJ should be subject to comprehensive house cleaning. There are multiple parts of our constitution that have been violated. Congress and federal government agencies continue to act in violation. Our republic is at stake. There has been nothing in American history that compares to the current coup.
