CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 10, 2021
THE SECOND IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP HAS BEGUN. IT IS POLITICAL THEATER AT ITS WORST AND WITHOUT A SOLID FOUNDATION IN THE CONSTITUTION. THERE IS NO DUE PROCESS. THE ONE HOUSE COUNT WAS MADE UP BY SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI WITHOUT HEARINGS, OR WITNESSES.
CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEY JOHN WHITEHEAD HAD IT RIGHT WHEN HE WROTE: “THE IMPEACHMENT OF DONALD TRUMP IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. (IT) WILL ACCOMPLISH VERY LITTLE AND IT WILL NOT IN ANY WAY IMPROVE THE PLIGHT OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN. IT WILL ONLY REINFORCE THE SPECTACLE AND FARCE THAT HAVE COME TO BE SYNONYMOUS WITH POLITICS TODAY.”
SO WHAT’S THE POINT? IT’S REVENGE. TRUMP CHALLENGED THE WASHINGTON ESTABLISHMENT AND WAS WINNING. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR HIS BEHAVIOR TOWARDS OTHERS AND THE PANDEMIC HE WOULD HAVE LIKELY WON A SECOND TERM.
THIS PROCESS IS ABOUT TRYING TO PUNISH TRUMP SO HE CAN’T RUN AGAIN. THAT’S WHAT DEMOCRATS FEAR MOST BECAUSE HE EXPOSED THEIR INABILITY, EVEN UNWILLINGNESS, TO SUCCEED AT ANYTHING. THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SHOW TRIAL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
