Article by Patricia McCarthy in "The American Thinker":
Why
has the impeachment theater that has been entertaining the media swells
these past six weeks begun to feel like a bad
movie-of-the-week? Tyrant-in-chief Adam Schiff has been thrilling the
Left with his anti-constitutional, Kafkaesque show trial, leaking and
tweaking snippets of his irrelevant not-witnesses' testimony in order
to bend public opinion to his malevolent anti-Trump obsession.
We
can all suss out the Schiff/Pelosi agenda: They hope to prevent
Trump's re-election by convincing the American people that he is somehow
tainted by a fog of nefarious activities both before and after the 2016
election. Trump is guilty of exactly nothing impeachable and they all
know it, but he is an outsider in their DC club of self-appointed
privileged insiders and that is what they cannot, will not,
tolerate. The interloper must be metaphorically slain in as public a
manner as possible.
But
just who in this current doomsday crisis the left has imagined is going
to be hoisted upon their own petard? It is beginning to seem like it
may be Speaker Pelosi and the detestable Adam Schiff. It is beginning
to feel like our hate-filled, intolerant Left is being set-up with a
long-game play. If so, the denouement will be delicious.
First
Nadler and then Schiff have conducted this so-called inquiry for weeks
now. Nadler's hearings were an embarrassment, so Pelosi turned the
gavel over to Schiff. Big mistake unless she is in on the con. His
ridiculous secret depositions are a joke -- meant to frighten Trump and
his supporters -- which is absolutely not working. Now we have been
privy to open testimony of three of his chosen not-witnesses who
contributed exactly nothing to Schiff's tale of corruption.
It
is all backfiring since they are trying to impeach Trump for what
Obama/Biden actually did. We have all seen Biden's little bit of
bragging about threatening Ukraine that $1b would be withheld unless a
certain prosecutor was fired within six hours. That prosecutor was
charged with investigating the corrupt Burisma energy company on whose
board sat Hunter Biden. Biden intervened in Ukraine's state government
to protect the bribery that was blatantly making his own family
fabulously wealthy.
And
Ukraine was not the only foreign nation that the Bidens, the Kerrys,
the Pelosis, the Clintons and the Feinsteins tapped for millions of
dollars that went directly into their own pockets. See Peter
Schweizer's books , Clinton Cash and Secret Empires. Ambrose Bierce wrote that "Politics is the conduct of public affairs for private advantage."
Surely Schiff knows this. He has a Ukraine connection himself, arms dealer Igor Pasternak. Schiff
is as bought and paid for as the rest of the players in this
oh-so-devious deep state plot to unseat a duly elected President because
he is not part of their noxious club of get-rich-behind-the-scenes
pols. Every one of them should be investigated with the spite with
which Trump has been scrutinized. In a just world, they would all be on
trial for both corruption and treason.
So,
it follows that all this hysteria over Trump's phone conversation with
Zelensky is a last-ditch effort to cover up the vast and complex plan by
the head honchos at the DOJ, FBI, CIA and the Obama State Department to
head off and then destroy the Trump presidency. The transcripts of
Tim Morrison's testimony were finally released. Morrison is the NSC's
Senior Director for European Affairs. His testimony exonerates Trump of
all the Left's fabricated accusations and reveals that one of Schiff's
supposed star witnesses, Lt. Col. Vindman, is a very bad actor in all
this, an anti-Trump, pro-Ukraine spy at the NSC.
It
is almost impossible to believe that Trump has not been on to this
cabal's fraudulent scheme for a long time now. Adm. Mike Rogers clued
him in to the Obama administration's listening in (wire-tapping) on his
phones at Trump Tower in 2015. That was when he moved his campaign
headquarters to New Jersey. He has known since then what they were up
to, so isn't it possible that he has been setting them up for the past
three years? Could he be manipulating Pelosi, Schiff, and their
henchmen into a world-class implosion? It is beginning to seem this may
be true. As the actual transcripts of Schiff's not-witnesses are
released and when actual journalists read them, it becomes clearer and
clearer that they have nothing. This attempt to impeach is all about
covering up their own crimes. If this is true then Trump will have kept
his ultimate and most important promise, to drain the swamp.
The
swamp is much, much muddier and more corrupt than any of us knew. That
Trump has withstood their three-plus year calculated attack on him, his
family, his friends and his presidency is a testament to his phenomenal
strength of character. That is why he was elected and will be
re-elected if the Left can't cheat enough. The Left always cheats, as
they did to elect JFK.
This
2020 election will be consequential. They will cheat in 2020 too. That
is what open borders and no voter ID is all about. All Americans who
love this country and our Constitution must vote to defeat these
criminals. As Hugh Hewitt has always said, "If it's not close, they can't cheat." Reagan had no idea how right he was when he said years ago that "The leaders of the Democrat party have gone so far left, they've left the country."
