House had chance to make its case
Editor: In a recent News-Sentinel edition the headline is “Senate votes not to call witnesses.”
Dems cry no witnesses, no documents, no acquittal. Dems are smearing anyone who disagrees with them. Bill Buckley once said, ”Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”
This headline is incorrect. There have been 18 witnesses in the House proceedings in which one from the inspector general still has not been released which probably would destroy the Dems’ case. Why else would you refuse it seeing the light of day?
The Senate had 13 witnesses and 128,000 documents delivered. The House is the investigative arm of the Congress. The Senate, using the House’s witnesses/documents, conducts the trial on the House’s investigation. The House must present a complete product. You don’t say we have overwhelming, uncontested proof on the one hand and then say we need more witnesses and documents to prove we have overwhelming, uncontested proof. Especially when your new bombshells are from the New York Times which has absolutely no credibility.
And, wait for it, they’ll be more coming. Bolton, who the Dems hated, is now their savior. Well, their paragon of truth used Ukraine as his personal ATM as other bureaucrats have, taking $115,000 from Ukraine just months before Trump’s appointment. Of course he’d want the status quo to continue. Bolton’s State Department’s foreign policy is not Trump’s. Trump wants to end wars, not start them.
As JFK said on State Department resistance: “They ought to read the Constitution over there and find out who was responsible for foreign affairs and whose government it was anyway.”
Bolton is another unelected bureaucrat who thinks only he is qualified to conduct foreign affairs. For over three years bureaucrats have been trying to bring Trump down. But don’t worry, after his acquittal, he’ll continue to be investigated right up to his last day of his second term.
