American Consequences - October 2019

By Buck Sexton

Boiled down: The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. So now we return to the present moment... What happens when you apply Occam’s razor to the frenzy over impeaching President Donald Trump? First we have to start with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats’ theory of the case, so to speak: The belief that President Trump has once again committed an impeachable offense. (And conveniently enough, just in time for the 2020 election.) That’s right, we are to believe that after three years of claims that Trump has broken the law or engaged in the high crimes and misdemeanors mentioned (but not described) in the Constitution, he has finally gone too far. Remember, the Democrats didn’t manage to get anywhere on Russian collusion, the Emoluments Clause (foreign diplomats having cheeseburgers at Trump Hotels), Mueller’s obstruction of justice list, or the Stormy Daniels “hush money” campaign- finance violation. None of that was impeachable enough for Democrats to start an official inquiry. But son of a gun, now they’ve got Trump ! A call between our president and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is all the Dems needed. The whistleblower has come forward – apparently from inside the intelligence community – to deliver Pelosi and company the pretext they needed at exactly the moment they needed it to impeach President Trump.

For the answer, we turn to a 14th century monk: Which explanation for impeachment mania passes the scrutiny of Occam’s razor?

Was this fair play, or was it a partisan conspiracy? For the answer, we turn to a 14th century monk: Which explanation for impeachment mania passes the scrutiny of Occam’s razor? Donald Trump has committed endless offenses against the Constitution and the American people – none of which pushed his opponents to impeach him – but luckily and at long last Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats have him where they want him at the most opportune time for the 2020 election. Of course, they really didn’t want to drag the country through this, but our “democracy is at stake!” Or: The Democrats have been planning to do this all along. The whistleblower coordinated with Congressman Adam Schiff (and likely other Democrats) to release this report. And it didn’t matter what Trump said on the phone call with Ukraine or what he did in the past year... They were going to find a reason to impeach him and everything else is posturing and lies... I’ll leave the slicing and dicing to you.
