Newly released text messages add to impeachment case
Posted by Robert Leonard / October 5, 2019
The House Intelligence Committee has released text messages showing that State Department officials, working under President Trump’s orders, were pressuring the Ukrainian government. The former Acting Solicitor General of the United States, Neal Katyal, says that this evidence constitutionally demands impeachment.
Trump doesn’t seem to care. Although he is literally being investigated for impeachment because he appealed to foreign governments to get involved in the 2020 elections. And now, on national TV, he’s done it again.
He said, “They [the Ukrainians] should investigate the Bidens. Likewise, China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine.”
This demonstrates, as Rolling Stone points out, that Trump feels as though he did nothing wrong. That’s a problem, since Trump did do something wrong––he may have actually broken four laws.
Trump has now asked four countries to interfere in the U.S. elections. The Times of London has reported that Donald Trump called Boris Johnson for help discrediting the Mueller investigation by gathering evidence to undermine any connections between Trump and Russia.
Sources have also revealed that Donald Trump pushed the Australian prime minister to help Attorney General William P. Barr as he gathers information for a Justice Department inquiry into the Mueller investigation. Trump hopes that this investigation will discredit Mueller, his findings, and the entire investigation.
