Alexander Vindman’s Brother, Yevgeny, Clears Publications by NSC Officials

FTA:
A source close to the Trump administration informs Breitbart News that Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, a senior ethics lawyer for the National Security Council (NSC), is in charge of reviewing all publications by current and former NSC officials.

The official added that Yevgeny Vindman could have seen former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s draft manuscript after it was submitted for prepublication review at the end of December.

The review is a standard process that allows the NSC to review book manuscripts, op-eds, or any other material for any classified material to be eliminated before publication.

The New York Times reported Sunday evening that Bolton’s draft book manuscript, which had been submitted to the NSC for prepublication review on Dec. 30, alleged that President Trump told Bolton in August 2019 that he wanted to withhold security assistance to Ukraine until it agreed to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, among others.

The writer is correct. His idea is terrifying.

Democrats Know Trump Won’t Be Removed; Here’s What They’re Really Up To.

FTA:
Wherefore President Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. President Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

In this seemingly innocuous passage, tucked quietly away at the end of an article the Democrats knew full well most people would not read, lies the secret. The last sentence, in fact, is the very thing this entire circus has been about. All of the fireworks. All of the propaganda. All of the lies, fake news, and staged drama has been to keep our focus away from that one simple sentence. And why? For the answer, we turn to Justia, which is essentially the online bible for American law:

Because conviction requires a two thirds vote, this means that Removal can only occur as a result of the same two thirds vote. Unlike removal, disqualification is a discretionary judgement, and there is no explicit constitutional linkage to the two thirds vote on conviction. Although an argument can be made that disqualification should also require a two-thirds vote, The Senate has determined that a disqualification may be accomplished by a simple majority vote.

And what exactly does that mean? It means that while it would take 67 of the 100 Senate Votes to Remove Donald Trump from office, it would only take 51 to disqualify him from running once again in 2020.

And therein lies Democrats’ plan. The Pelosi led left wing media continues to bury us beneath statements from criminals, opinionated testimonies from questionable witnesses, and outright lies with the desperate hope that a handful of Senators will be convinced to join them in silencing the voices of American voters, or, as an even less likely plan B, to convince enough Americans to vote Enough Democrats in to impeach Remove him in 2021.
