@FoxNewsSunday #ChrisWallace #AlanDersherwichInterview #Impeachment I agree with Alan that if impeachment and removal is based on just the subjective term of "abuse of power" political enemies of Presidents wld be going after them looking to impeach, always. However, Chris is right that the exact language of the Constitution makes it as such an exact crime is not necessary to impeach.
Now, except to call out the political twofacedness of some who argued the opposite arguments than now, on both sides of the aisle, than they did at the Clinton trials, whether because of being ignorant parrots just repeating what theyre told, or were being dishonorable political strategists looking to protect or take down Clinton, regardless of where truth and justice lied, it's best, and WE say this about the Johnson case, too, to just stick with facts now and Law, and PLEAD for knowledge, reason and INTEGRITY to prevail over politics, and #thesethings, apparently meant to cause confusion and distrust in American Government and Our Constitution, and lose confidence in them, at home and globally.
Integrity will separate political and personal disagreement, even moral disagreement, from what is abuse of power, actually. Abuse has to be connected to some kind of crime or infraction and rule breaking though, usually. It can be present, otherwise, but the explanation has to be reasonable. That these arguments are coming down party lines is evidence that the arguments are only political and this whole thing be opportunistic.
No use going backwards and arguing WE shld not even be at this point, at least not now. But the accusation of abuse centers around Dems charging Trump pressured Ukraine by withholding military aid to them to get them to investigate Joe Biden to help him with his campaign.
One, the 2018 "new evidence" proves Trump was investigating or looking to before Biden declared AND Ukraine looks like they were cooperating then. It was Our own ambassador that was the problem.
Two, it is RIGHT and LAWFUL for the President to investigate Biden and anyone suspected of corruption, at home or abroad. Him not doing so may be more abusive. And, whether one thinks Biden and his son are guilty of any thing or not, no one can disagree that the look is bad, and bad enough to at least warrant investigating.
Three, along with it being significant that Trump started investigations of Biden far before, and therefore it is more likely this was not about the campaign, Trump has a track record of calling out and investigating or looking for justice for any American sleight. WE saw with China, and Iran. There was that Chinese company he went after that Canada delayed and held one of their top execs for US that one time. And there's all the NATO and Trade stuff. So these things show a pattern, along with his tweeting, to go after any one he deems wrong, and cld hurt America, including those that have nothing to do with his campaign
I can add more to the list, but these things alone show that there is much more evidence of an intention by Trump to just go after all corruption and things wrong for America, which is NOT ABUSE, but part of the job description of President. And his methods cant be shown to be abusive, either, in that he has a Right to fire or call back any Ambassador, and there was a stipulation concerning corruption with the military aid, and during, and after, AND NOW, Zelensky, President of Ukraine, has NEVER said or suggested it was, or he felt as if he was being pressured to do any thing for the military aid, or at all. In fact, SEVERAL TIMES, Zelensky has said, EXACTLY, "No Pressure".
Regardless of all the gray and stuff, and perhaps Congress shld take up talks on making the Constitution concerning these things more precise, by no means can these acts that are in the Articles of Impeachment and designated as abuse of power, be proved as such. Any one with integrity, love or hate, politically, for this President wld admit that.
Dershorwitz is right. WE do not want a parliamentary style federal government. Checks and Balances are good, but too many hands in the pot, overall, is not, especially when it comes to Defense and things that need immediate and precise decisions made, with focused accountability. Such is why ALL elections are imperative. Especially that one every 4 years for Presidents AND for GOVERNORS, in a lot of ways, but WE see, also for these Congresspersons and Senators. The bottom line is #IntegrityMatters!
