This is a shameful display of arrogance on the part of the GOP. Because of Trump's guilt, Republicans are forced to lie to the American people and distort the impeachment proceedings.
Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-AZ. wrote an Op/Ed for Fox News. In it, she wrote, "It seems the seven impeachment managers have conveniently forgotten many of the facts surrounding their deeply flawed case for impeachment. They began by crying out for witnesses, witnesses they could have called in the House, and asking the Senate to do their job for them."
She conveniently left out the fact that a court battle with the White House could last months, years even as shown by the House managers yesterday. For example, the House subpoenaed Don McGahn in April. They are still waiting for his testimony.
Debbie also conveniently left out the reason for the months long delay. Trump is flaunting Congress. He is the first President in our history to defy Congressional subpoenas. Debbie didn't want to talk about that. Instead, she lied by omission.
Then she said, "The call transcript shows zero link between aid and political investigations." Here she is talking to Trump's base and assuming they are all morons. From his withholding military aid approved by Congress to ‘I would like you to do us a favor though" to asking Zelensky to investigate the Bidens, there is a distinct link even a moron would know. Does a thief have to tell Debbie "This is a robbery" for Debbie to know the gun wielding robber is stealing her cash?
She then wrote, "The aid was released without any commitment to new investigations." Yes, that is true, months later, on Sept. 11, after Trump got caught. The whistle blower lodged his complaint in August, and by Sept. 9, the House Intelligence Committee had launched a full-fledged investigation into the July 25 call.
Debbie continued, "Ukraine did not know aid was withheld at the time of the July 25 phone call." That is a clear lie. Testimony from several witnesses indicated that the Ukrainians knew about the withheld military aid by July 25. Isn't Debbie listening to the testimony she is lying about?
Last, but not least, Debbie wrote, "President Trump and President Zelensky have both repeatedly said that there was no pressure. In fact, there are multiple Ukrainian officials on the record saying there was no pressure and no link between the aid and investigations." Once again, she is assuming the reader is a complete fool. No Ukrainian official in his right mind wants to piss off the mercurial American President. The security of their nation, at war with Russia, is dependent upon U.S. aid. Apparently, Debbie didn't know that. Nearly everyone else does.
How did this pathetic woman ever get elected?
