Many people are exuberant that Donald Trump has been impeached again. Wikipedia joined in giddily updating the “First Impeachment of Donald Trump” with the following alert: Not to be confused with “Second Impeachment of Donald Trump.” What is more historic is that Democrats have become the first political party to project their own Treason, Bribery, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors onto a sitting President of the opposite political party not once, but twice.
The Democrat’s first impeachment included two articles: (i) Abuse of Power and (ii) Obstruction of Justice. The Abuse of Power article centered around Trump’s phone call with Ukraine. Trump requested assistance to investigate Joe Biden. Quid pro quo was the phrase of the month, with the implication that any tit-for-tat exchange between the two nations was somehow unfathomable. How could Trump hold up $400,000 of necessary and Congressionally-approved foreign aid!?!, bemoaned many.
Inconvenient for Trump, but necessary to the alleged corruption fact pattern, it was Trump’s political opponent who was being investigated. At the time, Biden’s son Hunter was allegedly under investigation by a Ukrainian prosecutor. Hunter was handsomely paid by a corrupt Ukrainian oil company. His only qualification: the spelling of his last name.
Joe Biden is on video boasting about threatening the loss of $1,000,000,000 of necessary and Congressionally-approved funding if the Ukraine prosecutor investigating his son was not fired. Well, Son-of-a-B*tch, as a result of Joe Biden’s quid pro quo, the Ukrainian prosecutor was fired and Biden’s son was off scot-free.
