There used to be a quiz show called Name That Tune. Players competed to see who could name a song from only hearing a few notes. With the impeachment "hearings" starting tomorrow, it seems as if the Democrats are trying to modify that old game show for use in those proceedings. No one has yet told us what crime the Democrats say president Trump committed. Impeachment is for "high crimes and misdemeanors" according to the Constitution. That should mean that thte Democrats will have to find some crime of which Trump is guilty if they are to impeach him. As of now, however, the Dems haven't bothered to identify that crime.
Imagine what would happen if a defendant in a criminal trial were brought into court without knowing the charges. What would the defense prepared for? Is it a murder trial or one for embezzlement? You can't prepare if you don't know the charges. Nevertheless, this is the nonsensical behavior that the Democrats are trying to use in these hearings.
And let's get something clear here. It is not illegal for the President to ask a foreign country to investigate something. It is perfectly proper. It is also not illegal to offer a foreign country some inducement to do something that the President thinks will be helpful to the USA. In other words, all this quid pro quo palaver doesn't indicate that anything illegal happened. That is why a statement of charges is needed.
The Democrats are trying to railroad Trump in a kangaroo court setting. This must be resisted. At the start of these hearings, the Dems have to state just what crime they think Trump may have committed.
