No President should ever be impeached on an opinion.
What opinion are you imagining?
Trump refused to provide any witnesses or documents to a co-equal branch of government. That alone is sufficient for impeachment and conviction.
The opinion that there was a quid pro quo. It is impossible to prove intent I think this matter. The House did not go about asking for the witnesses correctly and Trump’s attorneys followed the law. Furthermore he released the transcript. In WJC’s impeachment we all knew he had relations with an intern and lied. Black and white. Not an opinion. In this case we are guessing at intent. No President should be impeached based on guessing.
Guessing, presuming, inferring and mind-reading.
The impeachment case against Trump already lies in smoking ruins
Like all people who believe themselves to be smarter than those for whom they have only contempt, the House Impeachment Managers planned badly.
What began with the Clinton campaign and a few self-appointed commanders-in-chief in our once-premier law enforcement agencies quickly drew in fellow collaborators from around the world: UK, Italy, Malta and who knows where else? They paid a pack of Euro-trash lowlifes to create condemnatory but entirely false information about Trump.
Even Bug-eyed Schiff was on board when he was
pranked by those two Russian comedians who promised him "naked pictures of Trump." Bug-eyed Schiff was so excited at the prospect of getting his hands on some Trump dirt that he was easily deceived. Aside from Hillary and the DNC, Bug-eyed Schiff is the only other person to have actually colluded with Russians for political advantage.
Bug-eyed Schiff is a fool. That should be obvious to everyone by now, especially after the President's own lawyers’ first chance to present his side of the story on Saturday. It was not only gripping but brief and revelatory. Bug-eyed Schiff, Fat Jerry, Crazy Nancy and their co-conspirators have perpetrated the biggest fraud on the American people in American history for wholly bogus reasons. And they are all such legends in their own minds, they were certain they would get away with. Their plan would see our Beloved President Trump removed from office. They never gave a thought or a bit of respect to the millions of people who voted for him -- precisely to be rid of people like them.
"When the three branches of government have failed to represent the citizenry and the mass of the media has failed to represent the citizenry, then the citizenry better represent the citizenry." (David Mamet)
The citizenry elected Donald Trump.
Counselors Cipollone, Sekulow, Purpura, Philbin were
spectacular without being theatrical, unlike the performing seals that were the House managers. They actually did focus on facts, not mind-reading, and the facts they addressed were all drawn from Bug-eyed Schiff's and Fat Jerry's own witnesses, since the President was not allowed any defense or witnesses.
Bug-eyed Schiff and his fellow impeachifiers give new meaning to the word hypocrisy. They all cried for fairness and due process when Bill Clinton was being impeached. They saw to it that Trump was provided with neither; no counsel, no witnesses, no fairness and no due process.
This entire debacle should be over by Wednesday. Bug-eyed Schiff's two silly articles should be dismissed out of hand. We can all now see clearly who and what Bug-eyed Schiff and his impeachment cultists are: pompous, angry traitors to our Constitution. They will be outsmarted by the Founders and the scholars who actually do know and revere our founding document and the law. Their petty vindictiveness will condemn them to failure and a legacy of bumbling malfeasance.
When the history of this attempted coup is written, all those who participated in this monstrous crime will be forever known as the Benedict Arnolds of the early 21st century.
