We all have been witness to the Impeachment debacle, both the Democrats and Republicans did nothing to show me that they have our best interests in mind. We had grandstanding! We had procedure issues! We had total disregard for the law! Need I go on!!
Any Impeachment starts in the House of Representatives and they basically act as the prosecution. You start with Schiff and his “parody” reading of the Ukraine phone call. Apparently he could “read” what the President meant to the President of the Ukraine. In the “cough”, “cough” case against President Trump there seemed to be no credible evidence other than hearsay. Schiff would not allow any Republicans in the room as evidence was gathered. In order to remove any partisan stigma from this, he allowed one Republican in the room, once. A Republican that supported Hillary Clinton. When he finally let Republicans in the room, the gavel was his best friend. He would interrupt any question he did not want answered, with the gavel!!
Republicans in the House did themselves no favors during the fact finding. They all seemed to just sit back and allow all of this to happen. There were a couple of speeches on the floor of the House and that was it. Due process was thrown out the window. How about an injunction of some sort? The Democrats obviously have a majority but they just seemed to sit there and not fight!!
Let’s move to the Senate. Republicans have the majority. So it was a foregone conclusion what was going to happen. The prosecution aka the Democrats tried to pressure the Senate to allow more witnesses. If you are the prosecution shouldn’t your case be ready to go before the trial. Why would you demand more witnesses after you presented your case? You as the prosecution now look inept!
Here is my take. We have 535 elected officials to lead this country. One half couldn’t put a proper case together. The other half sat on their hands. How on God’s green earth can we entrust these people to make decisions on our behalf. Bottom line folks, get out and vote for someone other than anyone who has been in D.C.
