Donald Trump may be making impeachment hearing inevitable
Posted by Ivan Vaquero / April 28, 2019Donald Trump has announced that his administration will stonewall all subpoenas from Congress. This is an unwise move, since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has urged caution before beginning impeachment hearings. But if Trump and his administration does not comply with questions, then the Democrats in the House will not be able to do their due diligence. It appears as though Trump may actually believe impeachment is inevitable.
The White House itself has gone eerily silent in the last month. Sarah Sanders has not given a press briefing in 43 days, the longest stretch of time in this administration’s history. It’s perhaps unsurprising that the White House has been silent, since they knew the Mueller report would not actually exonerate them––and, in fact, the report revealed that Sanders intentionally lied for Trump, leading the White House press corps to call for her resignation. Their silence indicates that they think that they intend to ride out the storm, but the storm is only getting bigger.
Even Trump seems to see the writing on the wall. After a long Sunday of watching TV, he was bound to see all the impeachment talk. In response, he said that he would “head to the Supreme Court” to try to block impeachment. As anyone with even vague memories of middle school civics class knows, however, the Supreme Court has nothing to do with impeachment.
