I summed up my blog post with the following comment which seems to have been prophetic.
"The Democrat plan - take a pre-hearing poll showing most Dems oppose impeachment. Have hearing, have media selectively play carefully edited clips, revote and say they have no choice but to impeach."
Today, being Friday July 26, 2019 and all that has been on the news is hour after hour of different Leftist proclaiming they will proceed with further investigation and must have "Grand Jury" materials to further clarify the Mueller Report.
One particular Leftist.. possibly Nadler of NY stated that is was made clear that the President is guilty of obstruction... obstruction of what he did not make clear but the hearing was clear that there was no evidence with which to charge this President with the crime. In questioning this was the gist of what was said:
The Mueller report itself states: “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
Exoneration is not...to use Mueller's words...“That’s out of my purview....In other words it is not the job for the special prosecutor to exonerate and this was well pointed out:
Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX), asked Mueller, “Which Department of Justice policy sets forth a legal standard that an investigated person is not exonerated if their innocence is not conclusively determined?” Of course, Mueller could not answer that question because as Ratcliffe noted, “It doesn’t exist.” Continuing, he correctly noted, “It was not the special counsel’s job to conclusively determine Donald Trump’s innocence or to exonerate him because the bedrock principle of our justice system is a presumption of innocence.” Ratcliffe also thundered, “Donald Trump is not above the law, but he damn sure shouldn’t be below the law.”In other words... You are either guilty or not guilty, and juries make that determination. So if guilt or evidence of such was there why did Mueller leave the question hanging. The only explanation ... Mueller did not write the report. His contradiction on the point which the Left jumped on ..hoping it to be the "life-line" thrown out to a drowning impeachment dream was just more evidence to back up the suspicions expressed by numerous individuals . Here is the summations of that conversation:
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) led the witness: “The reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of [an Office of Legal Counsel] OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president. Correct?”Mueller: “That is correct.”
But in the second hearing, Mueller went back to this question to correct the record. “I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by [Representative Ted] Lieu, who said, and I quote, ‘You didn’t charge the president because of the OLC opinion.’ That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”Despite this statement and their "lifeline" sinking beneath the waves and their impeachment hopes drowned ...the Left will continue with this "circus" until the 2020 elections in hopes of derailing the Presidents re-election plans.
What these unhinged "impeachment " hungry Leftist have failed to realize is the American people are tired of the same old "one ring circus"with the exception of some of the unhinged Leftist voters and they will pay dearly in 2020.
The American people have no problems with an investigation..what they have a problem with is the majority of Americans have seen this charade as nothing more than an attempted coup of a duly elected president based solely on hate for the man who defeated their chosen candidate who would have continued in the destructive ways of her predecessor.
So the attempts of a "no longer silent coup" will go on and go on and go on.
