Too Soon …? I Know it’s Too Soon to discuss Impeachment,
but, Let’s discuss …Impeachment.
I’ve posted here previously that Donald J. Trump was eligible
for Impeachment on Day One. On 20, January, ’17, as soon as he uttered the
immortal words and lifted his hand from the Bible, DJT qualified for
Impeachment. The very first instance
upon taking The Oath that rendered him liable, was his ownership of the D.C.
Trump Hotel, which had already begun renting rooms to foreign Dignitaries
in-Town for Official State Business during the Presidential Transition.
Technically, because he was not yet President, Mr. Trump was
not in violation of the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, but the
moment he took his hand from the Bible, and those Official Dignitaries were
paying for Rented Rooms at the Hotel, President Trump was in Violation. Also,
because the U.S. owned the Property where the Hotel stood, Trump was in
violation of Government Standards which prohibited from him being both Tenant
and, as the Head of the Government, Landlord, at the Property.
It seemed a bit of a stretch, and broad interpretation of
the Law, to hold The Donald accountable, but once his further entanglements
with Foreign, most especially suspect Russian characters become clear under
investigation, his initial conflicts of interest, and Violations, are
confirmed.
Special Counsel and Principal Investigator Robert Mueller,
as well as Deputy Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein, most likely understood this fact
from early on, but knew that Trump’s myriad, troublesome, Russian connections
needed to be properly investigated and exposed prior to lodging the
allegations.
While those in the Liberal-leaning media, the MSNBC’s et al,
had to maintain a cool composure and pretend it was all Too Soon, they’d already
raised the point previously. But, they needed to preserve some shred of
objectivity, for legitimacy’s sake, and project a professional air. Even as the
case for Obstruction of Justice charge against the President related to the
firing of FBI Director James Comey began to gain momentum, the media-mantra, echoed on occasion by
Congressional Democrats, had begun to be
muttered – ‘Of Course it’s too soon to discuss ‘Obstruction’ or ‘Impeachment’…
While those of us who understood better knew, it may have been
early, it may have been soon, but it wasn’t actually ‘Too Soon’. It was, and
has been, Time. Time to consider and discuss, and peer ahead to the enmeshed
and perilous situation Mr. Trump was in upon taking Office.
Trump of course made things worse for himself not just by
firing Dir. Comey, but then bragging about it to not only to NBC’s Lester Holt,
but to two shady Russian Diplomats in of all places – The White House; the
Russian visitors, Sergey Kislyak, and Sergey Lavrov.
Kislyak was sent to the United States in the early 1980s as
a low-level diplomat, it is certain he would have been either a KGB agent or
reporting directly to the KGB. James Clapper, former U.S. Director of National
Intelligence, stated that Kislyak "oversees a very aggressive intelligence
operation in this country... and so to suggest that he is somehow separate or
oblivious to that is a bit much." Lavrov openly mocked Dir. Comey’s
firing, saying to American Press at The White House ‘You’re kidding…’ upon
being asked for comment
I’ve seen this movie before – I lived through Watergate. Spoiler:
The End is Not Pretty. Unless of course, you consider the Beauty of American
Constitutional Justice. Color me
Cynical, but I think Trump doesn’t really want to be President, and is doing
all he can to be told – ‘You’re’ Fired’.
