"Toontime: Impeachment Two Times

Still More: In arguments before two panels of the DC federal appeals court on Friday, House counsel affirmed that he had Speaker Nancy Pelosi's approval to state the House was willing to impeach the 'Chosen One' again, if additional incriminating material is divulged by secret grand jury testimony that the Judiciary Committee is seeking to uncover. “This is it,” Doug Letter, the lead House counsel, argued during the second half of Friday’s proceedings over the Mueller grand jury material. “There is nothing more important than determining whether the president of the United States should remain the president of the United States.” The dispute over Very White House's blanket non-compliance with congressional subpoenas goes to the essence of the coordinate branch system of federal government. Judges indicated by their pointed questioning, which lasted for hours, they understood what was at stake.

Their grilling became somewhat surreal at one point when, in response to judges' questions about other remedies beside a court order to produce, House counsel suggested the Sergeant-at-Arms could resort to force, which might precipitate a gun battle with the FBI. The House has not resorted to armed force to compel compliance since the 1930's. But with theocratic extremist William Barr in charge of federal law enforcement, such a chaotic occurrence is not beyond the realm of contemplation. So far the House has won the peaceful legal battles in the lower courts, but should the appellate court rule against the regime, the Department of Barr has vowed to take the fight to the Supreme Court where it has a conservative majority Barr believes he can count on for support.  What is it going to take for the craven sycophants to admit the 'Chosen One' is unfit to serve?  Perhaps his public threat to commit WAR CRIMES is enough to allow the fair presentation of evidence in the Senate**. Nancy should hold out until the Supremes rule.

{2/01/20} More: More damning evidence surfaced during the standoff with the Repugnant Senate over a fair trial. Unredacted communications unearthed by a security watchdog group, Just Security, shows that Pentagon officials were deeply concerned about the legality of the Tangerine Tyrant's withholding of appropriated military aid to Ukraine. An email from OMB director of security programs, Michael Duffey, to the Pentagon comptroller states bluntly: “Clear direction from POTUS to continue to hold.” Concern was rising within the government that the Tyrant's hold on aid was illegal, violating both the apportionment process and Impoundment Control Act. Il Douche only released the aid after his hold became the subject of an internal whistleblower complaint.  The documents, previously withheld from Congress as part of the regime's mob-inspired policy of omerta, show the deranged occupant of the Very White House defied almost his entire administration in an effort to obtain damaging information from Ukraine on his perceived political rival. Democrats now have even more justification to demand that witnesses appear at his impeachment trial.  Among those slated to be called are Mike Mulvaney, Michael Duffey and John Bolton, who called the Ukraine extortion conspiracy a "drug deal".  What is crucial about the illegality of the hold is that the illegality nullifies any claim a potential witness may have to executive immunity regarding discussion of the hold with Individual 1.

Just how far will the dangerously deranged occupant of the room without corners go to disrupt his impeachment? Tonight we have an answer: an act of war against Iran.

{01.01.20}US Person wrote previously {23.12.19) that the delay in transmitting the two Articles of Impeachment would work in favor of the Democratic controlled House: it's working! New evidence was publicized this week by the New York Times that the Tangerine Tyrant ignored the advice of his most senior advisors in the Oval Office to release Ukrainian military aid. He only released the aid after he was caught making the illegal impoundment of congressionally mandated funding.  The regime imposed a complete ban on any executive branch officials from testifying to House impeachment investigators--an obstruction of Congress. The Times article has bolstered arguments in the Senate that first-hand testimony and documentary evidence must be allowed at trial.  One Repugnant senator facing reelection has endorse the Democratic call for a fair trial process, which the public overwhelmingly supports. 

The Washington Post reported that Putin's Pawn has broadcasted agitprop issued by the Kremlin to the effect that Ukraine, and not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election. The WaPo writes, "In an interview with the Associated Press, the president claimed that CrowdStrike, a computer security company the DNC hired to investigate the breach of its email systems, was based in Ukraine and played some role in hiding evidence from the FBI." His repetition of the Russian propaganda line has alarmed aides inside the regime. “We spent a lot of time... trying to refute this one in the first year of the administration,” Fiona Hill, a former senior director for Europe and Russia on the National Security Council, told impeachment investigators in October. At one point the useful duroc told his aides he knew Ukraine was behind the election hack because, "Putin told him so." These latest revelations further erode confidence in the man's metal fitness for office, and reveal the actual, undue influence the Russian president and former spymaster has over a US president--aka "the Chosen One"-- who is obviously mentally impaired*. Meanwhile, the Reichstag burns.

*773 psychiatrists and other health professionals recently signed a letter warning that, "Donald Trump has the real potential to become ever more dangerous, a threat to the safety of our nation," Whether that statement is politically motivate hyperbole or legitimate, non-partisan medical opinion is debatable, but what is remarkable is that so many practitioners felt compelled to publicly question the President's metal condition. The stated reason for their concern is, "the brittleness of his sense of worth. Any slight or criticism is experienced as a humiliation and degradation. To cope with the resultant hollow and empty feeling, he reacts with what is referred to as narcissistic rage." That rage has been amply demonstrated in his twit storms, as he rails against what he considers to be an illegitimate impeachment process. This unusual public questioning of his mental condition is in conflict with the "Goldwater rule" initiated by the American Psychiatric Association in 1993, which prohibits commenting on the mental health of public figures unless they have personally examined the subject. During the 1964 presidential campaign, there was an attempt to publicly discuss Barry Goldwater's mental fitness for office. A Yale psychiatrist who is heading the effort to warn the public, even went so far as to advocate Nancy Pelosi demand a mental health evaluation since she is a "co-worker" who might be endangered by King Orange's derangement. Clearly this claim exceeds the bounds of reasonable political discourse, and says more about the author than Il Douche.

**Recall the international outrage when the Taliban blew up the giant Buddha statues in 2001, or ISIS destroyed the ancient  temple of Baal in Syria in 2015? Doing something similar in Iran with with drones or cruise missiles makes no difference--it is still a war crime under the 1954 Hague Convention for the protection of cultural sites. The United Nations Security Council also passed unanimously a resolution in 2017 condemning the destruction of heritage sites. In terms of retaliation for the drone strike that killed the al-Quds force general Qassem Soleimani, and made him a religious martyr. Iran possesses its own advanced cruise missile, the Hoveyzeh, According to Israeli intelligence sources it can evade existing US-Israeli anti-missile defense systems by using terrain-hugging navigation system. Its range is thought to be about 1350 kilometers, more than enough to hit targets in Israel. Iran could also use such a system to hit US drone command posts in the region. The Antichrist "Chosen One" has, by his intense and racially motivated obsession to one-up his predecessor in office, put the rest of US and our allies in a terrible bind.
