President Trump is being impeached on the basis of a telephone call we have a transcript of. The content of the call has been made public. The content of a second call has also been made public. It should be noted that Representative Adam Schiff totally made up the contents of the first call when he began the inquiry into impeachment. That should be a clue that something might not be totally above board.<\/p>\n
Real Clear Investigations<\/a> posted an article today that supports the conclusion that the impeachment show is simply a show.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n Barely two weeks after Donald Trump took office, Eric Ciaramella \u2013 the CIA analyst whose name was recently linked in a tweet by the president and mentioned by lawmakers as the anonymous \u201cwhistleblower” who touched off Trump’s impeachment \u2013 was overheard in the White House discussing with another staffer how to remove the newly elected president from office, according to former colleagues.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sources told RealClearInvestigations the staffer with whom Ciaramella was speaking was Sean Misko. Both were Obama administration holdovers working in the Trump White House on foreign policy and national security issues. And both expressed anger over Trump\u2019s new \u201cAmerica First\u201d foreign policy, a sea change from President Obama\u2019s approach to international affairs.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cJust days after he was sworn in they were already talking about trying to get rid of him,\u201d said a White House colleague who overheard their conversation.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThey weren\u2019t just bent on subverting his agenda,\u201d the former official added. \u201cThey were plotting to actually have him removed from office.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Misko left the White House last summer to join House impeachment manager Adam Schiff\u2019s committee, where sources say he offered \u201cguidance\u201d to the whistleblower, who has been officially identified only as an intelligence officer in a complaint against Trump filed under whistleblower laws. Misko then helped run the impeachment inquiry based on that complaint as a top investigator for congressional Democrats.<\/strong><\/p>\n The probe culminated in Trump\u2019s impeachment last month on a party-line vote in the House of Representatives. Schiff and other House Democrats last week delivered the articles of impeachment to the Senate, and are now pressing the case for his removal during the trial, which began Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n Think about this for a minute. What we have is a couple of holdovers from the Obama administration discussing undoing an American election because they did not like the result. That is the stuff of which banana republics are made. This impeachment show is setting a precedent–any time the President and the House of Representatives are from different political parties, we can expect an attempt at impeachment. That illustrates the fact that some of our representatives in Washington do not value the votes of the American people as much as they value power in the hands of their political party. The impeachment is a show–there is little doubt as to how it will end. Unfortunately the important thing about the impeachment is the impact it will have on the country our children and grandchildren grow up in. We are sorely in danger of becoming a country where the votes of the citizens do not matter to those who are part of the ruling class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Trump is being impeached on the basis of a telephone call we have a transcript of.
