Trumps Third Impeachment
Dear Editor,
The Jan. 6 hearings are an attempt to re-litigate a failed impeachment close to an election. A former Mark Meadows staffer is being paraded around like a smoking gun. After evaluation these accusations show no new information and a lot of spin.
For example, several aides requested presidential pardons. This is supposed to be proof of guilt. However, after four years of merciless politically motivated attacks against Trump supporters and one failed impeachment, at the time, it was a logical request. During his term, Trump fought against false opposition allegations. His supporters were continually attacked and harassed openly. A pardon would shield staff from likely politically motivated investigations. Also, remember, no pardon was ever given. Trump is being accused of being asked for a pardon.
Trump may have told Secret Service to allow armed supporters into his speech. Their main purpose is to protect the president. It isn’t to protect the Capitol Building. He is being accused of telling the Secret Service to let armed supporters into the area around his speech. No “weapons” were used in the Capitol breach. If Trump had told the Capitol security to let his armed supporters into the building, the committee might have a case. Demanding his supporters have access to his speech proves nothing. Several new articles reported “Trump’s Defense Department offered troops to protect supporters”…because he did not intend nor encourage them to assault the Capitol.
Several aides advised against challenging the election as potentially illegal. However, several advised it was perfectly legal. There is little precedent on how to challenge election results at this level. There wasn’t precedent for mass COVID restrictions or for local jurisdictions to ignore state election laws due to COVID. At the same time, the Constitution created electors and allowed legislators to challenge votes. It didn’t do this for mere “formality.” The existence of these processes implies that the authors intended relief from vote manipulation. We know that several local election officials have already been punished for knowingly violating state elections laws. In the end, the president is being accused of disagreeing with his aide’s advice. He is being punished for his aides disagreeing on a legal issue that have no precedent.
The president wished the event would make him look strong. All politicians schedule events to make themselves look good. The president smiled when the vice president was threatened by supporters. He smiles a lot.

I think this person should be a politician if they aren’t already. Anybody who has been alive for 20 years or more knows that Trump is a crook and has always been a crook.
He knew what was planned for January 6th and wasn’t and isn’t man enough to admit it. He could have stopped his cult from doing the damage they did at any time if he had the _____.
You know what I’m saying.
And he said that pence deserved it which means he was ok with them lynching a sitting vice president.
This person needs to be put away before him and his cult do irreversible damage to this country.
We all know he just wants to be emperor, ruler, king of the world.
Most recognize a liar, cheater, snake oil salesperson when we see one.
And as to the above I’m definitely not calling Trump a man. He doesn’t meet the definition of what a man is.
Just my humble opinion.
Michael Blowman! What’s a man? I’m not a biologist so….. you are funny though! Koolade?National Guard?
The importance of the Jan 6th hearings is to clarify who knew what when and what did they do about it from a leadership perspective. We HAVE learned a great deal that we didn’t know before.
1) The protest was organized based on a false premise promoted by the president….AND…
2) …he was advised well ahead of Jan 6th that it was a false premise yet he kept using the same talking points his own people advised where untruthful to motivate his base to protest…which eventually led to a riot.
3) Once the protests turned into a violent attack on congress, the President refused to use his powerful voice to stop the violence. Even at the request of his biggest supporters, including his kids.
4) He showed no concern for violent threats on his Vice President.
5) He knew protesters where armed and didn’t care what that meant to anyone but himself.
6) As the violence grew at Congress, Trump didn’t call in the National Guard…the VP did. (This shows his full support of the violence)
7) Lastly, we have learned that he wanted to be apart of the march on Congress knowing full well that protestors where armed. He is lucky his advisors didn’t let him go. Then he would have been guilty of Leading the attack on Congress.
Why is any of this important? The public has a right to know how the President of the United States and his key advisors behaved in the face of the first violent attack in attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power in our history.
The most critical fact is that Republicans don’t think this attack was a big deal at all! For example, republicans conducted 10 separate investigations into Benghazi yet wouldn’t support a single Jan 6th investigation with all senior officials pleading the Fifth like cowards. Many asking for advance Pardons. (Of course, now that the hearings are having an effect on public opinion, the repubs are whining about their lack of participation as if they weren’t invited.) Reap what you sow!
I am sure we will learn more in the coming days from the next rounds of hearings. I do hope it keeps Trump from running in 2024. THAT would make America Great Again!
What a Dolt! Everyone with a brain laughs at your stupidity Chris. Some of your rants are better than others. As for your comrades post above… the sole purpose of this sham committee of like minded liberals is to keep Trump from running in 2024. You communist are scared of him and is freedom loving constitutionally protected patriotic AMERICANS! You know, the ones that get up and go to work to pay for you social justice whiners to sit on your asses. If you’ve learned anything ANYTHING new by watching that kangaroo committee then you are more out of touch than I imagined. The one constant is that your a stupid SOB! Btw, give us dumb ol’ conservatives a little sample of what good has come from stealing the White House? As for innocent people being killed at the capital on 1/6… that would be ASHLI BABBIT! Say her name! I’ll be waiting on your example of what lying Joe and kaklin Karmala have done that’s made things better but unfortunately for you I will not be holding my breath….perhaps I’ll see you on Saturday? You should hope not! While I’m pissing off you and the libtards, you know who you are, how about that SUPREME COURT! Hee HEE!
CHris, it isn’t very hard to improve the knowledge of an imbecile. Enjoy your sham show imbecile.
Your ignorance speaks for itself.
Yap yap! I see you took the time to respond to my post but you forgot to give just one example of what Dopey Joe OR Kacklin Karmala have done to make ANYTHING better for this country. I wouldn’t waste my time trying either since most everyone can see what has come from commandeering an election. The country is on fire and the worlds leading Marxist Barry Obama is sitting in the Oval Office smiling while it burns! I don’t want these tractors in prison I want them hanged! The founding fathers would see to it!
Again, all I see in your words is hate and ignorance, therefore nothing to respond other than prayers you solve what ever personal issue(s) that have made you the way you are.
You are delusional Alan Burke. Even Stevie Wonder can see that tRump encouraged and led this insurrection. Innocent people died and many committed suicide and will have lifelong anxiety issues; thank God Pence and other leaders escaped with their life. Even corporate America and large donors can now see what traitor tRump has done to this country and democracy and are sending their dollars to Pence, Desantis and other real patriots and true conservative candidates. It’s time for real conservatives to stand up and take our party back from Q and the rest of these extremist loons.
Define insurrection! You libtards sucking on your soy lattes watching this sham committee led by RINO Lez Chainy and the national champion of LYING SOBs Adam ScHIfT (which is a feat considering what a lying SOB Joe is!) put on what is nothing more that kabuki theater! It is you indoctrinated idiots that refuse to believe the truth over the passion that is driven by fear! The fear of these crooks you libtards call courageous are nothing more than traitors that were exposed by the “Imposter” as Crazy Nancy called him. Look what we have all across this nation now. Chaos! That stupid SOB Joe can’t even get off a bicycle by himself! What have we learned from this kangaroo committee that’s new? Oh, I’ve got one…. Nah, never mind! Their bombshell hearsay witness turned out to be a damned LIAR too! Poor Cassidy. Phffft…. However, if her story turned out to be true, I would definitely vote for a man that could whip the ass of one secret service agent and commandeer the presidential limousine from another at the same time to lead this nation! I mean, that’s a lot harder than riding a bike. What a dope!
Jan 6 was a false flag, massaged by Pelosi and FBI infiltrates to prevent the Republican Senators from providing evidence of election fraud and to put all their opponents on their back foot. Now they’ve followed up by the DoJ arresting in the most intimidating ways possible numerous Republicans who are entirely innocent of any wrongdoing but have not genuflected to the Democrat hoax. The Obiden FBI has become Gestapo-like.
Alan, your heart’s in the right place, but just don’t bother playing their game.
Q says the rabbit runs in circles while the dog sleeps.
Go play with that for a while and get lost.
@Alan Burke – You are the poster child for an example of how brainwashed Trump supporters are: your letter has to twist the actual facts so hard to fit your narrative that your word salad is like a pretzel. The saddest part of this is that you truly BELIEVE this B S you say. Your brain no longer recognizes facts, unless they agree with what you want to believe. I’m sad for you. I hope you’re not too butthurt when Trump goes to prison.
Chris, you see, what you’re saying is that you do not agree with the letter that was written to the editor. Which is to say that the letter written to the editor is what you disagree with. WOW! That you professor Harris!
Trump is an idiot – no two ways about it. If you can’t see that then I question your judgement. I voted for him, but I will NOT vote for him again. He showed his true colors when he lost the election – His behavior crossed the line for me…
The best thing the GOP can do is to #dumpTrump and let’s get a republican that doesn’t lead by division and is a narcissist. Then we can move forward. Trump is toxic!! Let’s move on –
