We probably shouldn’t be
surprised that impeachment is being brought up. The hatred for President Trump from
the media and from the liberals is unmistakable. However, the lack of sense
coming from the liberals, the media and even many of the GOP is mind boggling.
By the way, impeachment is for high crimes and misdemeanors. But misdemeanors does not mean a law is broken. Misdemeanors also means lack of morality among other things. More on this another time.
James Comey Fired
Let’s start with the
firing of James Comey. The only surprise is that it took so long to get rid of
him. James Comey has been the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Notice the title. Especially the last word in that title. “Investigation”. It
is not the Federal Bureau of Prosecution.
Last July, Comey held a
press conference. He spent approximately 15 minutes laying out what they had
discovered about Hillary Clinton’s E-mails and server. He listed all of the things that
she’d said to the American people over the months leading up to that day that weren’t true. By the end of his
comments, many were certain that he was going to recommend prosecution. But
then he said he knew of nobody that would prosecute this case. It didn’t meet
the level for prosecution, according to him.
Remember why he put
himself in the position of laying that out publicly. Attorney General Loretta
Lynch had recently met with former President Bill Clinton, husband of Hillary
Clinton candidate for President, on a plane privately. This caused a serious
lack of trust that Lynch would prosecute from her own party.
This was not what he
should have done,. He should have turned it over to a Senate Committee, or a
House Committee, and to the Deputy Attorney General, which is
the person he is supposed to report.
Due to his deciding
whether or not to recommend whether or not to prosecute, he should have been
terminated at that time. When he brought it back on October 28, 2016 saying
that agents had found more E-mails from the Clinton server that were on Anthony
Weiners (husband to Huma Abidin, assistant to Hillary Clinton ) computer, and
announced it, he should have been fired again.
The Tape Comment
In an interview with Lester Holt, President Trump
said that Comey asked for a dinner and then there were two phone conversations.
During one of the phone conversations, Trump said “I don’t know if you can even
tell me, but if you can, am I under investigation?” Comey, according to Trump,
said no.
Comey denied that later.
To which Trump responded, “Comey should hope that there isn’t a tape of their
conversation. This set off a fire storm and congress started saying they wanted
those tapes.
Let’s think back to what
the media had reported. Supposedly, Trump was upset with Comey because when
Comey was asked about Trump saying he had been wire tapped, and Comey said he
didn’t see it as viable.
Maybe I’m the only one
that saw the correlation here, but when Trump said “better hope there isn’t a
tape” of he and Comey, I saw it as a comment about Comey not taking Trumps
wiretap comment seriously earlier this year. Meaning that whomever was taping Trump at Trump
Tower might be taping phone conversations at the White House.
The media
The media never hesitates
to question President Trump. But they never question Comey’s veracity. They
never question the Democrats on their positions. But they have no problem
changing the quotes from Trump.
They also claim to have “sources”
but nobody is ever named as that source. One of their favorite comments are “according
to my reporting”. Lately, they come out with comments that they say comes from
a source, but never identify their sources. This is convenient. They can claim anything they choose and
attribute it to a “source” but never name the source.
They also claim that there
is no and was no chaos at the FBI. However, last July there were many reports
about FBI agents that were very upset that Comey decided not to prosecute
Hillary.
The GOP
The GOP is the most
disappointing group of people. They have gone silent in these latest attacks on
President Trump. They don’t follow through on their promises about Health Care
nor on Tax reform. They make excuses for why it can’t be done or that it can’t
be done before the end of summer. The GOP is in charge of the House, the Senate
and the White House. Not getting this done only shows they are impotent!
Think back to when
Obamacare passed. The Democrats, and Obama shut the GOP out. They didn’t need
them. The rammed it through. But then, Senator Kennedy died before the vote. So
they had to vote on the House bill without any changes, or the new Senator,
Scott Brown, would be the vote to end Obamacare in it’s tracks.
The GOP couldn’t even get
Obamacare repealed and had to work deals to get it finally done in April and
sent to the Senate. But the Senate isn’t even looking at it. They decided to
create their own. The GOP can’t get along with themselves!
Everyone was saying that
the Democrats were set way back following the election and didn’t have much
hope for the 2018 elections let alone 2020. The GOP should have put them away
with their health care repeal (that they haven’t yet done) and with tax reform
( also not yet done). The Democrats are still up and kicking because of some
members of the GOP. Such as Senator John McCain from Arizona who is constantly
going on the news programs and saying how Trump is always wrong, incoherent, or
inexperienced. Such as Representative Justin Amash from Michigan who is now
calling for a special prosecutor and even said he believes Trumps latest are
enough to impeach him.
For Amash to call for a
special prosecutor and bring up impeachment, he might as well have told the
Democrats, you’re back on the playing field. Not because of their policies or
beliefs but because Amash has legitimized them.
Special Prosecutor
If a special prosecutor is
named to investigate, we’re in for years of investigations that may or may not
have to do with Russia, Comey, or Trumps people. If you’re a Democrat, do you
want Kenneth Starr investigating you? Clinton wouldn’t want that again. He
started off with Whitewater and ended up
involved in Vince Fosters death, travelgate, Paula Jones and discovered the
Monica Lewinsky situation.
Or let’s go back a bit
further. Lawrence Walsh investigating George H. W. Bush, He brought indictments
of some of Bush’s people but was told the indictments weren’t legitimate. So he
waited until 5 days before the election and re-indicted them. Those too were
also thrown out but the damage was done and Clinton was elected.
It’s not an independent
investigator as the Democrats claim. It’s the salvation of the Democrat party.
Is there anything else the GOP would like to do to help the Democrats?
What should President
Trump do?
First thing is that there
are a tremendous number of leaks. Trump should fire any remaining Democrat. He’s
fired Sally Yates, and even fired the White House usher (a Hillary supporter).
He ought to fire the rest of them in his administration. Including deputy
attorney general McCabe.
Attorney General Jeff
Sessions should stop recusing himself from different investigations. If he can’t
do the job, resign. Otherwise, do the job you were chosen to do.
President Trump also needs
to work on getting the Republicans to pass these initiatives of his and once
they have gone through one house or the other, he should hit the road, hold his
rallies and sell what he’s just fought for. The people are behind him and he excels
at talking with the people. He should use that.
Trump also should know
that the press is not his friend. Cut out the daily press conferences. Let them
earn their living rather than handing them news. Do not respond to anonymous
source stories. Don’t give them any credence at all.
Might as well start up the
legal defense fund for all of those that will be investigated. The Clintons did
it and they are the masters of raising money for illegal activities.
I don’t think President
Trump needs my suggestions, nor any one elses other than those he hires for
that purpose, but if the media can say how Trump doesn’t know how to run the
government because it’s different than Obama did, then I think your advice, my
advice and even advice from people that can’t read is just as viable as the
media.
You’re welcome to comment.
