Today marks the culmination in the House of one of the most shameful political episodes in the history of our Nation. Without receiving a single Republican vote, and without providing any proof of wrongdoing, Democrats pushed illegitimate articles of impeachment against the President through the House of Representatives. Democrats have chosen to proceed on this partisan basis in spite of the fact that the President did absolutely nothing wrong. Indeed, weeks of hearings have proved that he did nothing wrong.
Throughout the House Democrats’ entire sham impeachment, the President was denied fundamental fairness and due process under the law. The House blatantly ignored precedent and conducted the inquiry in secrecy behind closed doors so that Chairman Adam Schiff and his partisan political cronies could selectively leak information to their partners in the media to push a false narrative.
When public hearings were held before Chairman Schiff’s committee, Democrats continued their games and denied the President the ability to cross-examine witnesses or present witnesses or evidence. The proceedings in the Judiciary Committee included no fact witnesses at all and consisted solely of a biased law seminar and a staffer rehashing the slanted report that was produced by Chairman Schiff’s rigged proceeding. This unconstitutional travesty resulted in two baseless articles of impeachment that lack any support in evidence and fail even to describe any impeachable offense.
All of these antics make clear that Democrats have lost sight of what this country needs, which is a Congress that works for the people. Their boundless animus for President Trump fuels their desire to nullify the 2016 election results, and improperly influence the 2020 election.
The American people are not fooled by this disgraceful behavior. They understand fairness, due process, and substantial, reliable evidence are required before any American should be charged with wrongdoing—and certainly before impeaching a duly elected President.
The President is confident the Senate will restore regular order, fairness, and due process, all of which were ignored in the House proceedings. He is prepared for the next steps and confident that he will be fully exonerated. President Trump will continue to work tirelessly to address the needs and priorities of the American people, as he has since the day he took office.
“antics”
Perfect.
Sad day for the Republic, indeed. I really thought the Democrats would pull back at the 11th hour and vote to Censure the President. I was wrong.
Words can not adequately express how strong my feelings of HATRED, yes hatred, are towards the Democrat party rank and growing to file.
My next prediction is the GOP will find someone of screwing this up in the Senate.
R.I.P. the Republic.
Now we know who are the real deplorables (and despicables).
Well, WE knew already, but now they’re on record for the whole nation to take note and vote accordingly.
Anybody who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.
This is just a continuation of the 2020 campaign being run out of the HOR with taxpayer money.
These seditious bastards will not stop trying to overthrow our government. Not peaceably, there will be no voting them out to stop them, there will be no compromise that will assuage their evil intent. It is up to Americans to decide who wins and who loses this war.
“All of these antics make clear that Democrats”....
...cannot be trusted with power and we need the 2nd amendment now more than ever.
I no longer use the term Democrat. Instead I use the term CPUSA. They are all Marxist futhermuckers.
President Trump just needs to keep his cool. This is just business as usual for the democrats.
Polls are looking better for Trump no need to fall for any traps they me trying to set.
Time to be smart and use their arrogance against them.
The Democrats made a bad, bad mistake. They just can’t see it yet.
They won a “Pyrrhic Victory” today.
I suppose that from here on out any and all actions taken by Attorney General William Barr against swamp democrats will be labeled retaliation for their impeachment vote against President Trump
We’re behind you, Mr. President.
We’re praying for you.
May God use you mightily to destroy the schemes of the evil one.
This is sound advice.
The law will rule.
I notice the border is not on the MSM radar.
