If you want the truth about impeachment read this

No not this blog post but rather the report produced by the Republicans on the Intelligence Committee.

The Wall Street Journal has posted it here.

Here's the first two paragraphs of the executive summary:

"On November 8, 2016, nearly 63 million Americans from around the country chose Donald J. Trump to be the 45th President of the United States. Now, less than a year before the next presidential election, 231 House Democrats in Washington, D.C., are trying to undo the will of the American people.* As one Democrat admitted, the pursuit of this extreme course of action is because they want to stop President Trump’s re-election.†

Democrats in the House of Representatives have been working to impeach President Trump since his election. Democrats introduced four separate resolutions in 2017 and 2018 seeking to impeach President Trump.‡ In January 2019, on their first day in power, House Democrats again introduced articles of impeachment.§ That same day, a newly elected Congresswoman promised to an audience of her supporters, “we’re going to go in there and we’re going to impeach the [expletive deleted].”** Her comments are not isolated. Speaker Nancy Pelosi called President Trump “an impostor” and said it is “dangerous” to allow American voters to evaluate his performance in 2020.††"

The report goes on to explain in great detail what the witnesses heard from to date have testified to; no knowledge, direct or otherwise, of any criminal act, of any quid pro quo, of any bribe by Trump.

This impeachment is nothing more than a raw political act designed to overthrow democracy in America by nullifying the 2016 election and reducing the chances that Trump will win in 2020.

Read the report. It's a great antidote to the lies being pushed by the dishonest #FakeNews media.
