INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

Tuesday morning House Democratic leadership appeared solemn at a press conference unveiling their articles of impeachment against President Trump. According to the Democrats, President Trump committed two impeachable acts — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. In actuality, this process shows Democrats’ abuse of their own majority power in the House. They are ignoring the Constitution and setting a dangerous precedent for the office of the Presidency.

The process was biased from the start, beginning behind closed doors that were only open to Democrats and opened to the public and Republicans after much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYJ5eC7L9gk&feature=youtu.be" style="background: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(31, 27, 166); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">fuss and complaints.

The evidence presented was nothing more than “he said, she said.”

There is no evidence in the cordial call to the president of Ukraine that the President violated any federal law in this conduct of foreign policy — or anywhere else. Under the Constitution, impeachment is a remedy to address the grave offenses of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” No allegations approach this threshold. As Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) said:

“Washington Democrats have wanted to impeach President Trump since before he even took office. Despite years of witch hunts and investigations, Democrats have not produced a single piece of evidence that President Trump engaged in bribery, extortion, or any other high crimes or misdemeanors. And yet, they just unveiled two articles to impeach the president….”

As if to prove that Democrats have no basis of impeachment other than their hatred of the President, Representative Rashida Tlaid (D-MI) tweeted after Tuesday’s announcement:

The far-left group CREDO Action even went so far as to say “…by not including Trump’s bigotry, corruption, and self-enrichment, [in articles of impeachment] Democrats are telling the communities that Trump has terrorized that they are on their own.”

The entire process is a Democratic gimmick, shows their obsession with overturning the 2016 election, and willingness to do anything to remove the President from office. Democrats need to get a reality check and get back to work. Democrats have intentionally violated one of the hallmarks of the American Republic, the peaceful transfer of power!
