What have the Democrats proved so far?

Pres. Trump has said there was no bribery. The President of Ukraine has said there was no bribery. The aid was released without Ukraine doing anything; no witness has been able to come out and say they have proof of bribery. If there is no victim, no evidence of a crime, but we do have hearsay, rumors, and feelings, where are the facts of a crime? This impeachment should not even make it out of the House, much less the Senate.

And New Jersey’s Rep. Jeff Van Drew agrees with that.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, one of two Democrats to vote against formalizing the impeachment inquiry, said he plans to vote against all the articles of impeachment “unless there’s something that I haven’t seen, haven’t heard before.”

He warned Democrats to “be careful what you wish for” and he added that impeachment “is tearing the nation apart. … And I want to bring people together.”

Moderate Democrats, particularly those in Trump-leaning districts, resisted moving forward on an impeachment inquiry throughout much of the year, as liberal Democrats pushed for Congress to take up special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to launch an impeachment inquiry. That all changed in September when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a narrow impeachment inquiry to investigate the Ukraine allegations, and nearly every House Democrat publicly backed it.

I wish all our Senators and Representatives had this guy’s grasp on his job responsibility. His priority is to his constituents than to himself. Then to his party.

Democrats are looking for a way out of this Impeachment mess; there’s no way they want this to go to trial in the Senate as it will no longer be under their control.

If Congress issues articles of impeachment for abuse of power based on that phone call, they should be ready and willing to enforce the same level of accountability against their members. If that is an abuse of power, then most of Congress is probably guilty as well.

Pres. Trump’s election was a symptom of Americans being fed up with the people running the process in DC, mostly Congress!
