That’s a common question asked by people around the country who are only marginally following the Democrats’ impeachment circus in Washington.
They hear that President Trump has done terrible things, such as “endanger national security.” But when they look past the constant “bombshell” headlines, they find nothing there.
Mr. Trump held up some aid to Ukraine for a few weeks after a phone call with Ukraine’s president in which he asked him to look into corruption in his own country, including some that involves Joe Biden and his son Hunter. And that’s a threat to America’s national security and an impeachable offense?
When Democrats launched their kangaroo court, violating the most fundamental rules of fairness, some Trump officials refused to testify. So, “obstruction.”
Meanwhile, Joe Biden is on tape laughing in 2018 to a Council on Foreign Relations audience about threatening to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine if a prosecutor was not fired. Never mind that this prosecutor may have begun looking into Biden’s son Hunter’s cushy, $50,000 a month slot on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings while Biden was vice president.
An excerpt from Mr. Biden bears repeating every time the Democrats accuse President Trump of “strong-arming” a foreign country’s leadership for political gain:
“I said, you’re not getting the billion…I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a b-tch. (Laughter.) He got fired.”
On Oct. 9, Ukrainian Member of Parliament Andriy Derkach displayed documents showing that Hunter Biden’s lobbying firm was paid $900,000 from Burisma. Rudy Giuliani noted in the Nov. 13 Wall Street Journal that the invoice “said the money was for lobbying Joe Biden.”
This is the real scandal, along with the Democrats’ collusion with Russians in 2016 and the anti-Trump corruption of the FBI and other security agencies.
In a July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, Mr. Trump asked him to continue dealing with corruption in his country. He mentions impending aid to Ukraine. Near the end of the call, he references the Bidens this way:
“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son. That Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.”
The Democrats say that because Joe Biden is now running for president, he is above being investigated for conduct while he was Obama’s vice president, including his dealings with Ukraine. So, if you’re a crook, just run for president and no one will be allowed to investigate you. Sounds like the Clinton playbook.
Mr. Trump has every reason to want to get to the bottom of the scandal in which the FBI spied on his campaign in 2016, using a Russian-sourced dossier. FBI officials also covered up the Hillary e-mail server scandal and led what appears to be a coup attempt even after the election.
Since the two-year Mueller inquiry into possible Russian collusion collapsed, we keep hearing Democrats allege that Republicans deny that the Russians tried to interfere in the 2016 election.
This is nonsense. Of course, the Russians tried to mess things up. They’ve been doing it for years. They posted phony messages on social media critical of both candidates, but more so of Hillary Clinton. It’s doubtful this had any meaningful impact on the election.
Speaking of Hillary, the Russians’ most effective ploy was to tempt her and the Democratic National Committee into buying a dossier that was supposed to smear Trump. The now-debunked document was used to persuade a FISA court to authorize surveilling a Trump campaign official. Scandal, anyone?

First off Robert Knight, it is President Trump, not Mr. Trump. Beyond that I have no complaints with what you wrote.
Duped voters=Useful idiots.
All of that may be true but it misses the important point. Trump had two scoops of ice cream.
I watched Rickie Klayman’s so called analysis on CBS This Morning, I suspect she got her law degree from a Kracker Jack Box, a blithering partisan fool.
This whole mess is unbelievable. And scary. It’s beyond anything I have ever imagined for my country.
I wish our guys, (i.e., Rush, Sean, Savage, Mark, Glenn, et al) would spend more time reading what this guy and John Solomon and Sara Carter and Sheryl Atkinson are writing instead of constantly quoting Rachel Maddow and Fredo Coomo and the rest of the liberal media. Well, to be fair to Sean, Sara Carter is a regular guest on his show. What is it with the rest, though? Is it jealousy? They can’t stomach the notion that somebody else might be as smart as they are? Or as clever?
John Solomon is a regular on Laura Ingrahm as well.
The impeachment kangaroo court has duped no one.And I mean kangaroo. We even had one democrat, counsel Barry Berke appear as a witness and then hop like a Kangaroo over to be a questioner. To ask himself questions he would have had to Ask the Question, then hop back to the witness table at a speed 10 times the speed of sound in order to answer his own question to himself, making cross examination also impossible. Rep. Gomert, a former judge objected pointed this fact out and was graveled down on his point of order by Bolshevik Nadler who was a dead ringer for the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland.It will be a source of unending ridicule of Nadler and Schiff, and the whole Democrat party.
As a matter of fact, the major effects these Mrs.Doubtfire Hearings have had on America is in a rapid rise of firearm sales and a massive increase in popcorn sales.
No one except the most banal, desperate socialists who are losing to President Trump are “duped” on purpose by these surveillance state Democrats of dirty name. A name they have earned.
Don’t even worry about anyone being duped. These hearings couldn’t dupe a 6 year old.
President Trumps popularity is soaring because of these Alice in Wonderland Impeachment hearings, assuring him of a massive 40 state win in Nov. 2020. Its great entertainment though with Nadler as the Queen of Hearts, Schiff as the Mad Hatter, Joe Biden as the Cheshire cat,and President Trump as Alice herself. How can anyone take it seriously at all?
Yep, scandal pure and simple.
