They just can’t get over that Donald Trump won the 2016 election and that he’s not willing to bend the knee to what Democrats want. Also, that Donald Trump is more than willing to attack Democrats back, often with twice the smack
House Impeachment Resolution Authorizes Fishing Expedition Probes that Go Far Beyond Ukraine
The House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry resolution would officially authorize probes into U.S. President Donald Trump that are unrelated to the Ukraine-linked allegations that triggered the investigation to impeach him, including efforts to obtain the commander in chief’s tax returns.
Unveiled on Tuesday, the text of the resolution states that the measure orders “certain committees†to continue investigating whether there is sufficient evidence to impeach Trump and “for other purposes,†without explaining what those purposes are.
In other words, the resolution, expected to be voted on this week, would authorize any ongoing Trump investigations under the sun. The measure is expansive, breathing new life into a wide range of non-Ukraine probes, including an ongoing investigation by the House Judiciary Committee into whether Trump paid money to silence sexual affairs accusations.
Echoing some Republican lawmakers, the White House has rejected the resolution as an “illegitimate sham.â€
House Democrat impeachment investigators are supposed to be trying to determine if Trump abused his power by allegedly pressuring Ukraine to investigate corruption allegations against Joe Biden and his son Hunter in exchange for aid during a July 25 call.
There’s absolutely no chance this will all backfire, right? The open-ended nature of this certainly won’t look like a formalized witch hunt, right? It won’t drive voters into Trump’s arms in battleground states, or at least cause them to refuse to vote Democrats, right?
A New York Times Upshot/Siena College Poll released on Wednesday shows residents of six battleground states oppose impeaching and removing President Trump from office by a 52 percent to 44 percent margin, but support the House impeachment inquiry by a 51 percent to 44 percent margin.
Broken down even further, the poll’s results show that 42 percent of respondents oppose both the House impeachment inquiry and impeaching and removing the president, while 41 percent support both the House impeachment inquiry and impeaching and removing the president. Eight percent of respondents support the House impeachment inquiry but oppose impeaching and removing the president, while nine percent were categorized having “other†views.
Registered voters in six key battleground states–Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were surveyed in the poll.
Nope, no problems at all.
