NOONAN: Trump’s Defenders Have No Defense
WSJ ^ | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 11/22/2019 6:56:21 AM PST by conservative98

Look, the case has been made. Almost everything in the impeachment hearings this week fleshed out and backed up the charge that President Trump muscled Ukraine for political gain. The pending question is what precisely the House and its Democratic majority will decide to include in the articles of impeachment, what statutes or standards they will assert the president violated.

What was said consistently undermined Mr. Trump’s case, but more deadly was what has never been said. In the two months since Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry was under way and the two weeks since the Intelligence Committee’s public hearings began, no one, even in the White House, has said anything like, “He wouldn’t do that!” or “That would be so unlike him.” His best friends know he would do it and it’s exactly like him.

Following the same propaganda you see with a contested vote - if it’s 51-49% with the R is leading then it’s vote fraud and we must have recounts. When the D is leading it’s a done vote - the science is settled and we must move respect the results of the vote.

She needs to wash the swamp slime off — it’s infected her brain.

I, too, believe President Trump put pressure on a foreign leader who needed something from the United States for gain. I hope the gain was the pursuit of justice and to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, but I accept that some or all of the purpose may have been to hurt a political rival.

I have said from the beginning that these actions should have been, and should be, defended as good, right, normal, and within the scope of his office.

I believed that then, and I believe that now.

LoL.. how Peggy Noonan has a job is just proof that the mental disease of NeverTrump requires one to lie as if their heart will stop should they cease to lie.

no one, even in the White House, has said anything like, “He wouldn’t do that!” or “That would be so unlike him.”

That would be a great way to lose control of the narrative. "BS" is pithier, and she knows it.

I am assured by a lib on FB that they have the goods on DJT, now, and his unmasking will cost him the election. He’s notoriously gullible, so,,,,

“.....no one, even in the White House, has said anything like, “He wouldn’t do that!” or “That would be so unlike him.” His best friends know he would do it and it’s exactly like him.”

************************************************************

So the fact he has claimed (as has every so called witness) there was no quid pro quo, except in their “opinion” means nothing but because no one has said he was not the sort of person who would do that, he is somehow guilty of something?

Once again the evidence of wrongdoing is unimportant but how people FEEL is what determines guilt or innocence?

Noonan is a special kind of ignorant never Trumper.

Peggy Nocluenan is another Swamp Rat being detached by the Deep State to help protect the Globalist nest. Anyone with common sense can see what a total farce this impeachment proceeding has been. Peggy Nocluenan knows this is true, but protecting The Swamp is more important than the truth!

Yeah, remember Shiff’s remarks about the evidence he had against Trump while the Mueller investigation was going on.

A lot of dems are aware of the phrase, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Those are the ones that are still joining the #walkaway movement. The rest? Well, leftists gotta left. :)

I recently cancelled my WSJ subscription after many years because I am convinced they are part of the swamp establishment, at best. Most likely, they are part of the Deep State.
