Impeachment for What was not Done

In some cases, failing to do something can be a serious thing. Think surgeon who doesn’t suture up an incision. In the case of impeachment, having not done something is a very thin premise on which to overturn an election. Still, the Democrats continue to pursue their scorched earth strategy. Here is how their brand of impeachment goes.

President Trump did not collude with the Russians to tip the 2016 election. That from the Mueller investigation. The Mueller that didn’t get fired by the President. The 17 instances of possible obstruction in that report, lie in the President’s refusal to cooperate with an investigation that was flawed from the start. In fact, the very thing he was tagged with, colluding with a foreign government, is what Democrats did by purchasing a dossier from a foreign source containing lies. I didn’t hear about obstruction when Eric Holder did not respond to Congressional subpoenas in the “Operation Fast and Furious” scandal. That’s Washington for you. Hypocrisy reigns supreme.

Moving on to the next article having failed the collusion one, the President released the arms that were previously held up by Obama. In doing so, he received nothing. They dropped quid pro quo for bribery. Then tried extortion but landed on “abuse of power”. How nebulous! The main plank of President Zelensky’s campaign was anti-corruption. Our President wanted to make sure he was going to follow through on that campaign promise and as a steward of our taxes, he wanted to make sure the money would not go down a drain. In President Trump’s campaign, he made it clear that foreign aid will be scrutinized and once again, he is true to his word.

Now having failed at what he didn’t do (collude, obstruct or withhold), Democrats have thrown in the kitchen sink. He MAY try to do the things he didn’t do yet! He MAY collude on the next election, or obstruct, or withhold or otherwise cause the sun not to rise. This is a hail Mary of gargantuan proportions. Never in a country of laws has having not done something risen to demand the most dramatic action our Constitution allows. History will rain shame on these Democrats for inflicting a wound that may never close.
