FRANK ON FRIDAY – Abuse of Power

As this is written, the House of Representatives has drafted two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.  They are finally ready to fulfill their dreams.  20 minutes after Trump took the oath of office in January 2017, the Washington Post proudly published this message, “The effort to impeach President Donald John Trump is already underway.”  Now it looks like they will get their wish.  The fact that the Democrats have been pursuing impeachment since day one of the Trump presidency tells you all you need to know about the bona fides of the recent action by the House.  Simply put, the entire affair is a steaming crock of Bull Schiff.  This latest move stinks of desperation, stinks of their paranoid delusions about this president, stinks of their mindless hatred for anything Trump, and well, just stinks.  Nancy Pelosi put in her teeth and stood alongside Jerry (the Penguin) Nadler, Adam Schiff (for brains), bottle blonde Carolyn Maloney and crazy Maxine Waters to announce two impeachment articles – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.  Then they beat a hasty retreat, taking no questions.  Not surprising, because to answer a question, you need facts to support your claims.  This impeachment saga has two components – the process and the product.  The lying, thieving Democrats talk about our values and about the Constitution, but they have no values and their interpretation of the Constitution is a cruel joke.  They shed crocodile tears, expecting us to believe they “take no pleasure in impeachment.” “We were forced to act,” and “the Constitution compels us to impeach.”  More Bull Schiff.  They have been planning this for three years.  The process – Donald Trump was afforded none of the constitutional protections that are guaranteed to any civil litigant in America, to any criminal defendant, and indeed to any terrorist.  In Schiff’s Star Chamber, Trump was denied the rights to counsel, to see evidence against him, to confront witnesses against him, to submit exculpatory evidence, or to call witnesses on his own behalf.  The denial of any one of these protections will result in the reversal of the most minor conviction.  Yet they consider this appropriate for the removal of a president.  When Republicans complained, the Democrat retort was, “All they’re talking about is process.”  The guarantee of due process is no technicality.  It underpins the Constitution that the Democrats swore to uphold and claim to be following.  The “inquiry” was started by a so-called whistleblower who claimed the President misbehaved during his call to the president of Ukraine.  The President released a transcript of the call, but this was real evidence which exonerated Trump, so it was ignored.  The phantom snitch was vitally important, until it was revealed that he was a Democrat CIA employee, worked for Joe Biden, hired a lawyer who worked for Hillary Clinton, and improperly coordinated with Schiff (for brains).  Then, not only was he unimportant, but he must remain anonymous.  Schiff called 17 witnesses.  16 had no first hand knowledge, they just “heard things” that made them uncomfortable.  Ambassador Sondland actually had first hand knowledge.  He spoke to the President.  He asked Trump, “What do you want in return for the military aid.”  The President was explicit, “I want nothing from them, no quid pro quo, I just want them to do what they said.”  Schiff ignored the direct evidence and endorsed the opinions of the 16 sniveling Deep State Trump haters, who opined that they were “troubled” by what they heard or were told about the phone call.  Really?  Then they brought in three moth-eaten law professors to give legal opinions that what the President did is impeachable.  This really underscores the fact that impeachment is not a legal process, because courts don’t permit experts to give opinions about what the law is or about someone’s guilt.  The professors babbled about bribery and extortion, one actually claiming that, if what Trump did is not impeachable, then nothing is impeachable.  In the end, the Democrats reported two articles of impeachment, neither of which concern bribery, extortion, or any other crime.  One is for abuse of power.  The other is obstruction of Congress.  Both are absurd.  Think about it.  Abuse of a president’s power?  A president’s powers derive from the Constitution.  When he exercises those powers it’s not abuse.   You can’t be  impeached for carrying out the duties of your office.  One of those duties is the conduct of foreign policy, i.e., what went on in the phone call.  Government employees don’t have to like it.  Members of Congress don’t have to agree with it.  And you can’t impeach a president for doing his job.  At the end of the day, they will impeach Trump for keeping his promises.  He promised to make European nations pay more for their own defense.  That’s what he told the Ukranian president.  Obama’s Ambassador to Ukraine testified that Hunter Biden’s job in Ukraine was a major issue for the Obama administration.  Translation – Obama knew Ukraine was corrupt.  Trump arrives, he tries to assure that our foreign aid money isn’t going to be stolen, and he gets impeached?  Bull Schiff.  Obstruction of Congress?  Really?  It’s not a crime or misdemeanor of any kind.  It’s a fiction.  Here’s how it works.  Congress demanded witnesses who work directly for Trump.  He refused to let them appear, claiming executive and attorney-client privilege.  The Congress refused to let the courts decide the privilege issue and just declared Trump guilty.  In other words, since you didn’t confess, and you wouldn’t help us screw you, you’re guilty.  Once again, Democrats have adopted a Russian tactic, taking a page from the Russian prosecutor at Nuremberg, who ended every question with, “Do you now confess yourself to be a fascist pig?”  Neither of these articles are appropriate “high crimes or misdemeanors” that warrant impeachment.  Nancy Pelosi told us she had to impeach because Trump is not a king.  Good thing for her.  If he was the king they complain about, the heads of Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler would be on pikes on the White House roof.  There is an abuse of power, and it’s coming from the House of Representatives.
