IMPEACH
NYTimes ^ | 12-14-2019 | Editorial Board

Posted on 12/14/2019 6:44:57 PM PST by tcrlaf

IN THE END, the story told by the two articles of impeachment approved on Friday morning by the House Judiciary Committee is short, simple and damning: President Donald Trump abused the power of his office by strong-arming Ukraine, a vulnerable ally, holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid until it agreed to help him influence the 2020 election by digging up dirt on a political rival.

When caught in the act, he rejected the very idea that a president could be required by Congress to explain and justify his actions, showing “unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance” in the face of multiple subpoenas. He made it impossible for Congress to carry out fully its constitutionally mandated oversight role, and, in doing so, he violated the separation of powers, a safeguard of the American republic.

To quote from the articles, “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.”

The NYT helped trigger the Mueller investigation by colluding with James Comey.

Ummm,

Per the Constitution, isn't the federal government divided into 3 coequal branches THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO MUTUALLY OBSTRUCT EACH OTHER in a 'balance of power' to prevent any branch from becoming powerful enough to impose tyranny on the American people?

Obstructing congress isn't a crime, it is a judicial and presidential DUTY!

The NY Times is for impeachment. Who’d a thunk!?

The New York Slimes is for anything that's bad for America, so of course it supports impeachment.

George Soros and his backers (nations hostile to The United States) must be absolutely amazed at how cheap they can buy the whores at the New York Times.

” ...Ukraine, a vulnerable ally...”


When, where, why and how did Ukraine become an ally of the US? President Trump did provide Ukraine with military weapons, something the previous President (spit) refused to do. In fact it seems that much of Russian aggression against Ukraine began during obama’s presidency. Why aren’t people upset about his denial of military aid to our vulnerable “ally”.

It must be convenient to believe in the constitution and the rule of law once every decade. Patriotic rats just appear at the strangest locations. Bless their shriveled little brains.

I had to laugh at their assertion impeachment is a check on abuse of power by future Presidents.

They know very well that If this situation was reversed and the facts were exactly the same, they would be calling for impeachment to be defeated:

What motivates them isn’t principle but partisan politics. QED.

“obstruction of congress” isn’t a crime, in fact it’s a DUTY of the President of the United States, it’s why the Constitution give the President veto power over Congress ...
