President Donald Trump has been acquitted in his trial by
the United States Senate following his impeachment. He was found not guilty on
all charges. It was obvious this was going to be the outcome. Of the hundred
Senators, fifty-two are Republicans, a small majority. As it happened they
voted along party lines with two exceptions, one Democrat and one Republican;
so the results were the same as a pure partisan vote. In order to remove Trump
from office there needs to be two-thirds in favour of it; completely
impossible. The accusation was that President Trump abused his position and
also obstructed Congress over an incident in which he conferred with the
president of Ukraine
about Hunter Biden, the son of his main political rival, Joe Biden. Biden Jr
was involved with a local oil company called Burisma. I discuss it in more detail
in this Third Rail Radio programme: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2019/11/third-rail-radio-programme-76.html.
Impeachments of US Presidents are very rare. They have only happened three
times in the nation's history. In 1998 Bill Clinton was impeached and also acquitted.
You have to go all the way back to 1868 for the previous example in which the
seventeenth US
President, Andrew Johnson (not the 9/11 researcher), was impeached for
"high crimes and misdemeanours". He was also acquitted just like the
incumbent. The whole story is very complicated, and I go into more detail in
the Third Rail show, but from what I've seen there was no cause to find Trump
guilty. It is obvious that this was a trick pulled by Trump's opponents for
ulterior motives. Said opponents have displayed their dishonesty and malice for
the whole country to see. In this way they are very similar to the Remoaner
movement in the UK .
It gets even worse for them because one of their ringleaders, Nancy Pelosi, was
given her copy of Trump's State of the Union Address and she tore it to shreds.
This was a speech that has been well-received by the American people. It
indicates that life in the USA
is improving. The nation is growing stronger in its economy and the wellbeing
of its citizens. America
has indeed been made great again! Trump refused to shake Pelosi's hand, which
is a breach of protocol because she is the Speaker of the House; but who can
blame him after what she has done, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvJkcCRyVSI.
For Pelosi to tear it up in bitterness over her failed attempt to depose the
President could be interpreted as her tearing up the goodness of her country;
this is political suicide for herself and for the Democratic Party. In fact
Trump's approval ratings have risen significantly over this impeachment. The
Democrats do not have a credible candidate to challenge Trump in the November
Presidential Election, so things are looking rosy for the God Emperor. The bad
guys' plans have backfired on them; an increasingly common occurrence in the
post-2016 world. I'm glad this impeachment is over and we can move on from it.
It has ended the way everybody knew it would. How much time, energy and
taxpayers' money have been wasted on this music hall farce?
