More Games In The Sham Impeachment

The trial portion of the President Donald Trump impeachment was expected to wrap up today. Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland was not expected to call any witnesses. In fact, he indicated previously that he did not want to do so. All of the sudden, there is information that they need to get to the bottom of. There is a new, not new revelation from Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler that Trump was aware of what was going on and refused to help.
The reason that this is not a new revelation is that she indicated this was her reason for voting to impeach Trump. She is one of only ten Republicans who did so.
This is not new. She said this for over a month now. If the Democrats had actually held a proper impeachment hearing they could have called her as a witness and asked her what took place. Instead, they rushed to judgement and now the impeachment managers are left to find evidence at trial. According to Herrera Beutler, Kevin McCarthy called Trump as the mostly peaceful protest was going on and told the President he needed to call his supporters off. When told by Trump that these were Antifa (Antifa involvement is something most news articles describe as discredited), McCarthy told him, no these are your people. It is then that Trump is alleged to have said “Well Kevin, I guess they are more upset about the election than you are.”
It looks like the Kavanaugh hearing debacle all over. Wait until you are ready to wrap up and see if you are losing. If you are, then call in a witness and bring new allegations.
Here are some problems I see.
It is possible this took place as described. Going on TV or sending Tweets would not have stopped any of the mostly peaceful protests. The people inside the building were not watching TV or reading tweets. Besides, when Trump did tweet that day Twitter removed his tweets. He called for calm and those tweets were removed.
Trump is not in charge of the Capitol police or the DC National Guard. Congress is in charge of the police and the DC Mayor is in charge of the guard. President Trump offered extra help in the days leading up to January 6th and was told no extra help was needed. Mayor Bowser said she had it all under control. Trump has a duty to act if the country is being attacked but when this went down it was nothing more than a riot, the same kind of riot that took place against the White House in the summer. The same kind the left refused help for and cried when pepper spray was used. A riot is under the purview of the police (and/or the National Guard).
Herrera Beutler has no first hand knowledge. Since the beginning when she asserted this incident as her reason to vote to impeach she has stated that McCarthy TOLD her what Trump said. She did not hear it for herself and has no idea what was actually said.
It reminds me of a joke where a Texas Ranger was chasing a Mexican bandit who had stolen a lot of money in a robbery. As the Ranger gained on him the bandit threw the money down an abandoned well. The Ranger caught up to him and asked where the money was but the Mexican bandit only spoke Spanish and the Ranger did not. A man was riding by and the Ranger asked him if he spoke Spanish and he indicated he did. He said ask this guy where he put the money. The reply was I am not telling. So the Ranger pulls his pistol and points it at the bandit’s head and says, tell him if he does not tell me, right now, where that money is I am going to blow his brains all over the desert then he cocks the hammer. The man tells him and the Mexican bandit says, in Spanish, tell him not to shoot, please, I have a family, tell him the money is an that abandoned well over there. With that the interpreter looks at the Ranger and says, he said go ahead and shoot he is not telling you.
Without actually hearing what was said (and understanding it) one cannot possibly give a first hand accounting.
They could call McCarthy but he did not vote to impeach and he has not made any statements, that we are aware of, that Trump said what has been reported.
Even if Trump said it that is not an impeachable offense. How could he possibly stop what was going on? I indicated earlier that if he went on TV no one would see it and no one was reading tweets but his were being taken down anyway.
Do we now impeach Obama because he incited Ferguson and did nothing to get them to stop? Do we impeach Harris and a whole slew of Democrats because they incited and encouraged riots all summer and then did nothing to stop them?
We have police officers to maintain law and order. It looks like the Capitol Police failed in doing that. Funny thing is when police departments were told to stand down and when politicians across the country refused to stop riots (and refused help from Trump) these were seen as good things. But let the police stand down in the Capitol and it is quite another.
As for the claim being made by the propaganda media that Antifa was not involved and this has been debunked, well you can add that to the list of other issues they have been gaslighting you on. Free and fair elections, no cheating took place, Joe Biden is not suffering from dementia, etc.
Antifa was there. Antifa started and instigated the riot. The video footage the House Impeachment Managers are showing as evidence was recorded by a member of Antifa and he happens to be one of the first people arrested in connection with it. There are videos of Antifa members changing out of Trump gear, rioting and then changing back into Trump gear. There were certainly supporters of the president in the Capitol. The video I saw of them has them walking around taking pictures like they are on a tour. The Antifa and others I saw were damaging things and causing trouble. That is not to say that some of the folks who were causing trouble were not Trump supporters. It was not ALL them as the left and its media wing would have you believe.
I do wonder though. What happens if the defense attorneys take depositions from people who were arrested that day or who were on film that day and they say that they were incited by [enter name of Democrat here]. Will the focus be changed? Will they go after that person?
After the beating the Impeachment Managers took yesterday, one that had Alan Dershowitz saying the defense had won the case, they had to come up with something. You can always count on them dragging a hooker or a reprobate, or someone less honorable like a member of Congress, from someplace and changing the focus on some invented act. None of that changes the fact that Trump did not cause it and he had no method to stop it. And if it was a riot, as was reported, it was up to the police and/or the National Guard to stop it.
They are trying hard but I doubt this will stop anything. I doubt they will get 17 people to convict when they have already said it was unconstitutional.
As for the four or five Republican Senators who voted to move forward with witnesses, your time will come. We will work hard to remove you from office and replace you with someone who has a spine.
