Democrats are so desperate to stop President Trump and his agenda that they have abandoned, not only basic tenets of our constitutional republic, but all sense of decency. Instead of attempting to work with the president for the good of the American people, the left is on a relentless fishing expedition to not only destroy Trump, but those in his orbit who are in a position of power.
Its been a year since Justice Kavanaugh has been sworn in as the fifth “conservative” justice on the Supreme Court. Leading up to Kavanugh’s confirmation the left literally became an angry lawless mob in their attempts to prevent this shift of power on the court.
The numerous allegations wielded at Kavanugh were all unfounded. In spite of congressional inquiries, and an FBI investigation, not a single eye witness could be found, nor corroboration to any of the accusations of sexual assaults that were flung at Kavanaugh. This didn’t matter, due process be damned. All that mattered was preventing the “swing” of the court.
Kavanaugh’s main accuser, Christine Blasey Ford’s motivation to come forward was revealed by her attorney in a recently unearthed video. In a speech given in April Debra Katz actually admitted that the landmark abortion case Roe vs. Wade, factored into Blasey Ford’s decision to go public with her accusation. Katz also admitted to being pleased, that going forward Kavanaugh will always have an “asterisk next to his name”
Proving once again that they are not a neutral arbiter of the news, the New York Times recently published an op-ed from two of its reporters, resurrecting the allegations against Kavanaugh. They even claimed to have discovered another “victim”.
Two salient facts were left out of this editorial regarding the unearthed “victim”. The most alarming- the supposed victim had no memory of the event. Further, Max Stier, the “witness” to the alleged assault is a former Clinton attorney, who refused to speak to the Times reporters. So, their new allegation against Kavanaugh was based on hearsay information, which not even the alleged victim, or supposed witness would corroborate.
The op-ed also omitted that Blasey Ford’s life-long best friend, Leland Keyser, who was supposedly a witness to the alleged assault by Kavanaugh on Blasey Ford, not only doesn’t remember it happening, but now believes that her friend is lying.
All that this hit-piece proved is that the New York Times is truly just an extension of the Democrat party; and that the left is not above destroying an innocent man for the sake of their political agenda.
Emblematic of how far the left has strayed from core American values, most of the 2020 Democratic hopefuls immediately responded to theTimes op-ed with calls for Kavanaugh’s impeachment. Senator Kamala Harris, who is a former prosecutor, actually stated on NPR’s “Morning edition”, “Because the fact that something has not been proven, it doesn’t mean it didn’t occur, right?” So, under a Kamala Harris presidency, even if an investigation turns up no evidence of a crime- whether or not you are afforded the presumption of innocence apparently depends on if you’re her political foe or not.
Democratic presidential candidates Pete Buttigieg, and Beto O’Rourke have also stated that under their presidency they would consider adding more supreme court justices to the court- also known as “stacking the court”. If this dangerous precedent was ever established every president would stack the court in their favor. This would be tantamount to destroying the integrity of the judicial branch of our government.
Corey Lewandowski & the House Judiciary Committee
After more than three years of investigations, including a special counsel investigation, at a cost of $40 million, the left is refusing to give up their quest to bring down the Trump presidency.
The Special Counsel probe was staffed with a majority of Democrat Trump-hating prosecutors with unlimited resources, yet, the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee believe that they may find something heretofore undiscovered, to oust the president.
Continuing with their fishing expedition, yesterday the House Judiciary Committee began an impeachment inquiry. Their first witness was former Trump campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.
Prior to yesterday Lewandowski had testified before the committee twice, and was interviewed for hours by members of the Special Counsel. In spite of this, the Democrats believe it is a good use of resources and time to rehash what has already been investigated ad nauseam.
Not surprisingly, nothing was revealed that wasn’t already known from the Mueller report. The point of interest for the Democrats is, according to Mueller’s report, in June 2017 Trump called Lewandowski to the White House and asked him to deliver a message to then Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The message indicated that President Trump wanted Sessions to give a speech castigating the special counsel investigation as unfair, and that he would be limiting the scope of the investigation.
Even though he didn’t believe that there was anything wrong with what Trump asked him to do, Lewandowski stated that he never delivered the message to Sessions, because he went on vacation shortly afterward. However, he asked a subordinate of Sessions’, Rick Dearborn, to deliver Trump’s message. According to the Mueller report Dearborn never delivered the message to Sessions.
Lewandwoski claimed that President Trump only brought the issue up one other time, and then never mentioned it again. Hardly seems like obstruction. President Trump has said, publicly, more times than anyone could count, that he believed that the investigation was a travesty of justice, and that the scope of the probe should have been limited.
The hearing was a farce. At one point Congressman Hakeem Jeffries asked Lewandowski , in reference to his role with Trump, “are you the hitman, the bagman, the lookout, or all of the above.” In spite of the antagonistic questions Lewandowski remained poised, and never misspoke.
Unfortunately, the ends always justify the means among Democrats. These attacks on President Trump, and anyone in a position of power who stands in the way of their progressive agenda will continue.
Shamefully, it appears that obstruction, destruction and impeachment are the left’s answer to score political wins when they are unsuccessful at the ballot box.
