The picture of the holier-than-thou Democrats in today’s announced articles of impeachment against President Trump alleging abuse of power and obstruction because of his alleged interactions with Ukraine, couldn’t possibly speak for them any louder.“The framers of the Constitution prescribed a clear remedy for presidents who so violate their oath of office,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. "No one, not even the president, is above the law.”
“The key Democratic committee leaders, along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., outlined their plans in a brief and pointed statement to the media, and left without taking questions. (Fox News)How undemocratically and conveniently apropos!
“Nadler said the judiciary panel will introduce two articles "charging the president with high crimes and misdemeanors." He said the first is dedicated to "abuse of power," alleging the president has "exercised the powers of his office for his personal benefit while ignoring or injuring the public interest." Nadler said Trump put himself before country while endangering national security and America's democracy. (Fox News)He should have added that the president putting America and Americans first is an impeachable crime.

"Trump has engaged in unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry," Nadler added, as he announced the second article focused on obstruction of Congress. (Fox News)But what about obstructing a Congress that flat-out refuses to work?
“House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who has led much of the inquiry, called impeachment "an extraordinary remedy.” (Fox News) "He has given us no choice," Schiff said of Trump. "To do nothing would make ourselves complicit in the president's abuse of his high office.”Schiff, who couldn’t come up with an original line of his own, is merely parroting the words of Nancy Pelosi.
“President Trump fired back, just minutes after Democrats announced articles of impeachment, blasting the entire inquiry as a "WITCH HUNT!”(Fox News) "Nadler just said that I 'pressured Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 Election.' Ridiculous, and he knows that is not true. Both the President & Foreign Minister of Ukraine said, many times, that there 'WAS NO PRESSURE.' Nadler and the Dems know this, but refuse to acknowledge!" Trump tweeted. “While Republicans have blasted the process as political, dubbing it the "focus group impeachment" in response to reports that Democrats tested different allegations with focus groups, Democrats are moving swiftly ahead of the holiday break."
“Pelosi directed the Judiciary Committee to proceed with drafting the measures just last week. (Fox News) "The clock and the calendar should not be the basis for impeachment," House Judiciary Ranking Member Doug Collins, R-Ga., told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" minutes before the announcement. “It is unclear, at this point, whether Democrats’ articles focused on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress will reach beyond the Ukraine controversy and into former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.”Come on, Fox News, you know it will. That the president colluded with Russia to steal the election from Hillary Clinton was the entire Democrat narrative from the get-go. Proof the Russian hoax is already on its way back?
“Mueller found no evidence of conspiracy or coordination between members of the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election but left the door open to whether the president obstructed the federal probe -- a point that Democrats have made in the public hearing phase of the House impeachment inquiry. (Fox News) “Absent from the planned charges is a “bribery” count, which Democrats have repeatedly accused the president of in regards to his highly controversial July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky -- in which he pressured him to launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s dealings with Ukraine. "Pelosi held a meeting in her office Monday night with Nadler, Schiff, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., after a hearing held by Nadler’s committee that featured lawyers laying out the evidence for and against impeachment. “In drafting the articles of impeachment, Pelosi is facing a legal and political challenge of balancing the views of her majority while hitting the Constitution's high bar of "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”Meanwhile, look at today’s tell-tale picture as a memento of how the desperado Dems pulled the 2020 presidency of Hillary Clinton out of the 2016 raging fire. You can always keep it to show your grandchildren when they grow up—but it’s now not likely they’ll have much of a country when they do. But all is not lost because patriots will NEVER let the lawless Desperado Democrats impeach their president.
