Trump is up to his neck in investigations. ZACH KLEIN.
Last
month, Speaker Pelosi announced that Democrats in Congress were moving forward
with a formal impeachment inquiry against the president. Since then, we’ve
learned a lot.
Additionally, intentionally stonewalling and failing to participate in an impeachment proceeding is impeachable conduct itself. Just ask Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina. In 1998 during the Clinton impeachment hearings he said, “The day Richard Nixon failed to answer that subpoena is that day that he was subject to impeachment because he took the power from Congress over the impeachment process away from Congress and he became the judge and jury.”
Trump knows he’s in trouble. What innocent person takes to Twitter to say the investigation should be ended “for the good of the country” as opposed to because there was no wrongdoing?
He’s using fear tactics. He’s bullying. He’s obstructing justice and impeding the investigation. He’s abandoning his constitutional obligations. But at the end of the day, regardless of what happens in Congress, he will be held accountable if we win big in 2020.
That’s what I’m working towards every day between now and next November. Every time Trump tweets something ridiculous, lies, embarrasses us or even betrays us, let’s recommit ourselves to that fight. Let’s make sure we’re all doing everything we can to win here in Ohio and across the country in 2020.
Indeed the stakes are too high to do anything less than that.
