What is this latest impeachment gambit really about? Of course, it was a Parthian shot to discredit President Trump’s supporters.
Donald Trump was impeached again on Wednesday, a week before leaving office in one of the great travesties of modern politics.
Here are reasons why the exercise proved a farce.
One, impeachment was never intended by the founders to become a serial effort to weaken a first-term president. But this latest try will mark the third failed attempt of Democrats in Congress to remove Trump before his allotted tenure.
The first Democratic impeachment effort of December 2017 fizzled. The second impeachment of December 2019 succeeded but predictably failed to obtain a Senate conviction.
This third try will likely not result in a Senate conviction, either.
But from now on, House impeachment will be used by the out-party as a periodic club to wound a first-term president. President-elect Biden should beware.
Two, the country is wracked by a pandemic, recession, a summer of Black Lives Matter and Antifa looting, arson, and violence, and the recent rogue group of Trump supporters storming the Capitol. Washington, D.C. is now militarized in a way not seen since the Civil War. Over 20,000 troops patrol the streets.
Thousands are dying from COVID-19. Politics and incompetence at the state level slow down the widespread vaccination of the vulnerable.
So the last thing Americans now needed was the distraction of virtue-signaling politicians to impeach a lame-duck president who will be gone in a week.
Three, the rushed third impeachment attempt was even sloppier than the first two. There was neither an appointment of a special counsel nor a formal case presented for illegal or improper presidential behavior. Trump’s advocates had no time to present a legal or political refutation of “incitement.”

NANZI, SCHMANURE AND SCHIFF WERE LYING IN WAIT LIKE COMMON CRIMINALS FOR TRUMP AND REPUBS TO MAKE THE WRONG MOVE.
The Mueller thing was an impeachment trap Trump did not fall for——Mueller was supposed to get fired by Trump to activate the impeachment plans.
REMEMBER THIS? JONATHAN TURLEY WARNED US:
<><> House Intel Chair Adam Schiff insisted there was no time to waste in getting impeachment to the Senate ......
<><> (deluded) key Dems claimed there was a “WH crime spree in progress” and no time to delay.
<><> Pelosi immediately blocked submission of articles to the Senate.....apparently stalling for time
<><>...... suddenly demanding testimony from witnesses the House calculatedly omitted........
<><> (yawn) time is no longer of the essence.
Impeachment is a means to an end——
PELOSI DESPERATELY WANT MUELLER’S FULL DOSSIER-—AND HERE’S WHY:
The Mueller investigation was purposed to dig, legally, into every aspect of Donald Trump, his family, his friends, his finances, his companies, his legal holdings, his lawyers, his accountants, his history… all of it… and they did so under both Title-1 and Title-3 surveillance authority; the Mueller probe was a counterintelligence operation (and tasked to cover-up all Democrat wrongdoing).
Mueller has President Trump’s travel records, phone records, electronic files, electronic communications, emails, electronic records, family files, medical records, bank records, tax records,… THE WORKS … all with unlimited surveillance authority as granted by former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the useful status of an unlimited counterintelligence operation. Think about the scale of the material Weissmann and Mueller gained access to? Think about the scale of these Trump files? =======================================
AND THIS It wasn’t just “wiretaps” Democrats gained from the fraudulent FISA, the scurrilous
Obama’s obedient FBI requested and received full Title-1 surveillance authority of Trump including:
<><>wiretaps,
<><> electronic surveillance,
<><> the use of bugs and tracking devices,
<><> physical surveillance,
<><> electronic surveillance
<><> satellite geo-location surveillance
<><> and much more. The FBI requested a type of surveillance directed at Trump that is generally reserved for tracking suspected terrorists.
Leaked revelations showed then-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain a Title-1 FISA surveillance warrant against Trump principal Carter Page to conduct political espionage against the Trump campaign.
The Parthian shot is a light horse military tactic made famous by the Parthians, an ancient Iranian people. While being in real or feigned retreat, their horse archers would turn their bodies back in full gallop to shoot at the pursuing enemy. -—wikipedia
Over time the spelling and pronounciation was corrupted until it became "parting shot."
Because the Dems will never cheat again? Please. Get over voting.
Learned something today; as the Parthian would say in modern times, muchakeram (thank you)
LOL!!
So the Democrats have been quaking in their boots wondering when the hammer is going to fall. And they will still be quaking in their boots a month from now, a year from now and all the way until the next election, because the evidence of the steal is out there. Just the statistical anomalies alone indicate that the chances that this election was not stolen are somewhere around a trillion to one less than someones chances of winning the “Mega-million” jackpot with a single ticket.
So because of this extreme anxiety, the rest of us are going to suffer through some unbelievable actions from the Democrats. There is no limit to what the oppressors will attempt. A few years ago a little old lady we know who lived through the bombing of Dresden said that Obama was like Hitler and that this country was headed for some very bad times. She was shouted down by everyone who said that it could never happen here. And then we got President Trump and it seemed like it was springtime on the political front. By allowing this fraudulent election to stand the GOP just ushered in a nuclear winter. Thanks Romney, Ryan, Linda, Mitch, and all the other milquetoast traitors... we are all getting what you let slither through the front door.
Pedo Joe isn’t just picking up where 0bozo left off - he’s determined to make up for lost time. We’re doomed.
... the regressive “left”.
f’n fools aren’t smart enough to recognize that communism/ tribalism does not work.
Neither developed any technologies and thinking like that denies the future and relegates America to being mere tribal africans; nearly the most backwards peoples on the planet.
What made the technologies happen is all rooted in the thing they want too destroy the most.... white CHRSTIAN Western European man.
What gave the word advancement, achievement and progress is what the regressive left wants to destroy.
Yep, tear it down and rebuild better.... what horseshit.
It’s been tried many times over the last 2000 years.
It’s best to stick with what you know works and has generated the positive results of progress.
History is written by the winners. I was looking forward to books about the Trump administration and the details of voter fraud. In cancel culture, more than ever, nothing will be in cyberspace, much less print, that conflicts with the lockstep liberal narrative. We are really living in 1984.

“”the recent rogue group of Trump supporters storming the Capitol.””
I think there were some of us on a thread the other day who mentioned disappointment in some of the congress critters.
I never thought I’d see the day I’d be disappointed in anything that Victor Davis Hanson wrote but that sentence is certainly that. THAT is very wrong and very disappointing. It’s as if everyone there that day was a Trump supporter.
VERY DISAPPOINTING!!
This is in line with your previous thread about not believing anyone anymore. Victor Davis Hanson? THAT hurts!!
If I understand it, the sores do heal up while the STD goes deep and works on the brain and other fragile organs.
Seriously though, the judges and politicians are just as aware of all the impossibilities as we are. They were either cowards, venal or in on the power grab. A retired wrestler described the proper solution: "Stomp a mudhole in 'em and walk it dry".
