CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 13, 2020
IT APPEARS THE TRIAL OF PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY BEGIN AS EARLY AS THIS WEEK, ASSUMING SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI DELIVERS THOSE TWO ARTICLES TO THE SENATE. THEN THE REAL DRAMA BEGINS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL COULD ASK CHEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS TO DISMISS THE CHARGES DUE TO LACK OF EVIDENCE, OR THE SENATE COULD CALL WITNESSES, WHICH IS UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN. TRUMP MOST LIKELY WILL BE ACQUITTED, BUT THAT WON’T BE THE END OF IT.
IF IN THE FALL ELECTION DEMOCRATS MAINTAIN THEIR HOUSE MAJORITY THEY WILL LIKELY TRY TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO BRING NEW IMPEACHMENT CHARGES AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. SHOULD THEY WIN BACK A SENATE MAJORITY THE PRESIDENT WILL BE STOPPED COLD IN HIS NAMING OF CONSERVATIVE FEDERAL JUDGES AND THE REST OF HIS AGENDA.
THAT’S WHY WE MUST ALL PAY ATTENTION. THIS ISN’T ABOUT CHANGING SHIP CAPTAINS AND STAYING THE COURSE. THE CURRENT DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL AND MUCH OF THE CONGRESSIONAL FIELDS WOULD REVERSE COURSE, TAKING US BACK TO HIGHER TAXES, FEWER JOBS AND A SLOWING OF ECONOMIC OUTPUT. PAY ATTENTION. THE SECULAR PROGRESSIVES ARE ALL-IN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
