There are a batch of committees controlled by Democrats that are running around Capitol Hill trying to investigate the possibility of impeachment. One has to wonder when, if ever, these Democrats will finally feel a sense of embarrassment. Think about it. In the short time since the impeachment mess began, here's a sampling of what has happened:
1. The entire investigation is based upon a complaint filed by a so called whistleblower who claims that President Trump wrongfully pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his family by withholding American military aid unless that investigation were done.
2. Before Nancy Pelosi announced the investigation, Trump had already announced that he would release the transcript of the phone call during which he supposedly threatened the Ukrainian president. No matter, Pelosi went ahead with the announcement. Then, the next morning, the transcript was released as scheduled, and it showed that Trump never threatened the Ukrainian. Indeed, Trump never mentioned military aid to Ukraine. That put a big hole into the whistleblower's complaints.
3. Then we learned that the whistleblower had never heard the phone call. Instead, he was relying on what other unnamed individuals supposedly told him. He could have just said that the "word on the street" was such and such and it would carry as much weight. But the Dems went forward anyway.
4. Indeed, in order to shore up the claims against Trump, the Dems shifted the narrative. Trump may not have mentioned the military aid, but he was acting like a "mob boss", in other words he was making an implicit threat. The Ukrainian surely understood what Trump meant. So no mention was made of cutting off military aid, but it was implicit according to the Dems and that pressured the Ukrainian.
5. Of course, then the president of Ukraine said that he had felt no pressure during the call. The Dems brushed off his statement. Their view was that the Ukrainian president must be lying to help Trump.
6. Then we learned that the USA never told Ukraine that aid had been delayed until almost a month after the phone call between the two presidents. That means that if the threat of the aid cut off was an implicit threat, the Ukrainian president would have to be clairvoyant to know about it. Indeed, during the phone call, the Ukrainian president mentioned to President Trump that Ukraine was almost ready to order more javelin anti-tank missiles from the USA. These missiles would be part of the aid in question. Trump didn't say anything that would lead the Ukrainian to think the missiles might be delayed. If anything, that exchange shows that president Zelezny of Ukraine had no idea that there could be any delay in American aid.
7. Next we learned that the whistleblower is a Democrat operative. He or she didn't take his complaint to the IG as required by the whistleblower statute. Nope, about a month before the story broke this person went to the House Intelligence Committee and Adam Schiff. The Dems were briefed on the entire matter and then assisted the whistleblower in putting forward his complaint. This helps explain why Schiff was tweeting about this subject almost a month before the impeachment stuff broke in the media. Once again, Schiff proved that he cannot keep a secret; he had to leak the story on Twitter just to prove to himself how clever he is.
There's much more, but just the stuff above makes one thing very clear: the essence of the whistle blower's complaint -- the claim that Trump threatened Ukraine's leader with a cut off of military aid to get Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden -- is totally untrue. In fact, that story is one concocted with the help of Adam Schiff and congressional Democrats to "get" Trump.
It's really time for the Democrats to be truly embarrassed (if not indicted.)
