Does anything in modern American politics truly shock your average voter anymore?

Republicans shouldn’t gloat over Trump’s victory over his impeachment foes. It was always just a ruse meant to “memory hole” the malicious activity of CrowdStrike in concocting the alleged “Russian hack” of the DNC servers. There’s much more going on here than meets the eye.

If editors and journalists are truly serious about wanting redemption for the former Trump campaign advisor, they should first hold their own accountable.

Maybe the president should find somebody who is serious about protecting constitutional principles to restore public trust in the FBI.

Judicial pre-authorization for our national security bureaucracies’ actions has taught them dysfunctional practices and created a secret body of law that has undermined Americans’ civil liberties.

It’s difficult not to question every assumption that went into the Russia collusion hoax. If the Russians did attempt to interfere in the 2016 election, then the intelligence community totally undermined public confidence in their assessment by tying that interference to false allegations accusing Trump of conspiring with that effort.

Unless the deep state wants to further its own demise, however, and unless the Democrat candidates for president want to spend a good deal of the campaign season off the hustings and in a Senate proceeding they will lose, we are probably witnessing the beginning of the end of the Trump impeachment.

We are to believe that crying EPA employees, out-of-the-loop ambassadors, holier-than-thou law enforcement chiefs, and jobless assistant deputy undersecretaries for blah-blah affairs are the victims of a rogue president who must be removed from office for hurting their feelings and challenging their authority.

If Trump's deeds are criminal, then diplomacy itself is wrong, because statecraft is more about what the record hides than reveals. 

Precisely because the Democrats and their kept media realize that the former national security advisor is unlikely to be a witness to their liking, he is unlikely to be a witness at all.

Make no mistake about how reckless this unprecedented attack on the presidency is. The violation of trust, combined with the author hiding his or her identity, prior actions and current motives from the American public, undermines the presidency at its core.

We’re being told both by Schiff and the accuser that we’re not seeing the whole picture and that there’s more to the story than just the transcript. Both of them are making these claims. Now they have become indispensable fact witnesses in the case.

Trump’s enemies are exaggerating what is entirely normal and trying to turn disagreements over policy and tone into “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

As in the Ukraine impeachment inquiry currently underway, the establishment became incensed by the incoming president using trusted advisors to conduct foreign policy instead of deferring to the permanent bureaucracy.

Advocates for impeachment are invited to answer six questions that should shed more light on the perplexities of their case.

As the coup-plotters sell books, give high-priced speeches, and toil as political pundits, their victims struggle to regain their lost finances, reputations, and careers.
