Romney Delivers Remarks on Impeachment Vote Wednesday, February 5, 2020 www.romney.senate.gov/romney-delivers-remarks-impeachment-vote The Constitution is at the foundation of our Republic’s success, and we each strive not to lose sight of our promise to defend it. The Constitution established the vehicle of impeachment that has occupied both houses of Congress for these many days. We have labored to faithfully execute our responsibilities to it. We have arrived at different judgments, but I hope we respect each other’s good faith. The allegations made in the articles of impeachment are very serious. As a Senator-juror, I swore an oath, before God, to exercise “impartial justice.” I am a profoundly religious person. I take an oath before God as enormously consequential. I knew from the outset that being tasked with judging the President, the leader of my own party, would be the most difficult decision I have ever faced. I was not wrong. The House Managers presented evidence supporting their case; the White House counsel disputed that case. In addition, the President’s team presented three defenses: first, that there can be no impeachment without a statutory crime; second, that the Bidens’ conduct justified the President’s actions; and third that the judgement of the President’s actions should be left to the voters. Let me first address each of those defenses. The historic meaning of the words “high crimes and misdemeanors,” the writings of the Founders and my own reasoned judgement convince me that a president can indeed commit acts against the public trust that are so egregious that while they are not statutory crimes, they would demand removal from office. To maintain that the lack of a codified and comprehensive list of all the outrageous acts that a president might conceivably commit renders Congress powerless to remove a president defies reason. The President’s counsel noted that Vice President Biden appeared to have a conflict of interest when he undertook an effort to remove the Ukrainian Prosecutor General. If he knew of the exorbitant compensation his son was receiving from a company actually under investigation, the Vice President should have recused himself. While ignoring a conflict of interest is not a crime, it is surely very wrong. With regards to Hunter Biden, taking excessive advantage of his father’s name is unsavory but also not a crime. Given that in neither the case of the father nor the son was any evidence presented by the President’s counsel that a crime had been committed, the President’s insistence that they be investigated by the Ukrainians is hard to explain other than as a political pursuit. There is no question in my mind that were their names not Biden, the President would never have done what he did. The defense argues that the Senate should leave the impeachment decision to the voters. While that logic is appealing to our democratic instincts, it is inconsistent with the Constitution’s requirement that the Senate, not the voters, try the president. Hamilton explained that the Founders’ decision to invest senators with this obligation rather than leave it to voters was intended to minimize—to the extent possible—the partisan sentiments of the public. This verdict is ours to render. The people will judge us for how well and faithfully we fulfilled our duty. The grave question the Constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the President committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a “high crime and misdemeanor.” Yes, he did. The President asked a foreign government to investigate his political rival. The President withheld vital military funds from that government to press it to do so. The President delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders. The President’s purpose was personal and political. Accordingly, the President is guilty of an appalling abuse of the public trust. What he did was not “perfect”— No, it was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security interests, and our fundamental values. Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one’s oath of office that I can imagine. In the last several weeks, I have received numerous calls and texts. Many demand that, in their words, “I stand with the team.” I can assure you that that thought has been very much on my mind. I support a great deal of what the President has done. I have voted with him 80% of the time. But my promise before God to apply impartial justice required that I put my personal feelings and biases aside. Were I to ignore the evidence that has been presented, and disregard what I believe my oath and the Constitution demands of me for the sake of a partisan end, it would, I fear, expose my character to history’s rebuke and the censure of my own conscience. I am aware that there are people in my party and in my state who will strenuously disapprove of my decision, and in some quarters, I will be vehemently denounced. I am sure to hear abuse from the President and his supporters. Does anyone seriously believe I would consent to these consequences other than from an inescapable conviction that my oath before God demanded it of me? I sought to hear testimony from John Bolton not only because I believed he could add context to the charges, but also because I hoped that what he said might raise reasonable doubt and thus remove from me the awful obligation to vote for impeachment. Like each member of this deliberative body, I love our country. I believe that our Constitution was inspired by Providence. I am convinced that freedom itself is dependent on the strength and vitality of our national character. As it is with each senator, my vote is an act of conviction. We have come to different conclusions, fellow senators, but I trust we have all followed the dictates of our conscience. I acknowledge that my verdict will not remove the President from office. The results of this Senate Court will in fact be appealed to a higher court: the judgement of the American people. Voters will make the final decision, just as the President’s lawyers have implored. My vote will likely be in the minority in the Senate. But irrespective of these things, with my vote, I will tell my children and their children that I did my duty to the best of my ability, believing that my country expected it of me. I will only be one name among many, no more or less, to future generations of Americans who look at the record of this trial. They will note merely that I was among the senators who determined that what the President did was wrong, grievously wrong. We’re all footnotes at best in the annals of history. But in the most powerful nation on earth, the nation conceived in liberty and justice, that is distinction enough for any citizen.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by THG: We also know SECOND that when Trump loses this election the trials begin. And the Mueller report will be front and center. His taxes will be front and center and so on.If Trump loses, Biden will allow the IRS to cooperate with the subpoena from House of Representatives for Trump's tax returns. Seeing that Trump cheated, the House will then pass a bill requiring Presidential candidates to reveal their tax returns. In the Senate, the GOP will say that is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy. The bill will not pass because of a filibuster. At the next Presidential election, the Republican voters will claim that the Democrats had their chance to require candidates' tax returns be publicized, but the Democrats failed to do anything. Most voters, from both parties, will blame the Democrats, not the GOP. Meanwhile, Trump's tax cheating will be the subject of court cases. Because of the statue of limitations, most of the cheating can't be prosecuted. What can will be delayed until 2025 by Trump appointed judges sympathetic to Trump and angry, very-very, at politically motivated prosecution by Democrats. When the next Republican is President, the GOP controlled Justice Department, headed by William Barr, will immediately decide to close all of Trump's tax cases. Barr will claim Trump never cheated. Most voters, Democrat and Republican, will believe Barr.

I think elected officials will strive hard to put humpty dumpty back together again. That means Trump has a target on his back. As it should be.Other than Mitt Romney, zero Republican elected officials and Federal judges will be shooting at the target on Trump. Instead, they will be shooting at Biden. Every Republican in Congress attacked Obama. Biden will get the same treatment. Unless there are fewer than 34 GOP Senators, they will keep Congress in gridlock. Unless there are fewer than 5 GOP Supreme Court justices, everything Biden does will be ruled unconstitutional. FDR had that problem with the Supreme Court during the first four years of the New Deal. So will Biden unless he does something extreme to frighten the Republicans, but he hasn't the guts to try. www.fjc.gov/history/timeline/fdrs-court-packing-plan The GOP understands the situation: https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/packing-the-supreme-court-explained

Quote:Originally posted by THG: Outrage mounts over report Russia offered bounties to Afghanistan militants for killing US soldiers Outrage has greeted a bombshell New York Times story that says American intelligence officials believe a Russian military intelligence unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing foreign soldiers in Afghanistan, including targeting Americans. The story, citing its sources as unnamed officials briefed on the matter, said that the US had come to the conclusion about the operation several months ago and and offered rewards for successful attacks last year. The Times wrote: “The intelligence finding was briefed to Trump, and the White House’s National Security Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March.” However, despite drawing up numerous options by way of a response, the White House has not taken any action. As the news broke it triggered a fierce response from top Democrats, especially those who have long pointed to what they say is Trump’s overly close relationship to Russia’s autocratic leader, Vladimir Putin. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/27/russia-offered-bounties-afghanistan-militants-killing-us-soldiers-report-outrage tick tock T Deep state describes dedicated, educated professionals.

Berman is “stepping down” after 2 1/2 years in the post, Barr said in a statement. He gave no further details. But shortly after that statement Berman fired back with his own on the Southern District of New York’s website. “I learned in a press release from the Attorney General tonight that I was ‘stepping down’ as United States Attorney,” Berman said. “I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position, to which I was appointed by the judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. “I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate,” Berman said. “Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption.” The late Friday evening announcement from Barr caught many by surprise and raised questions about the move, including from Preet Bharara, Berman’s predecessor whom Trump fired after he refused to quit. Barr offered Berman other positions, including head of the Civil Division at Main Justice, according to a Justice Department official familiar with the matter who asked not to be named. Berman declined, the person said. “This late Friday night dismissal reeks of potential corruption of the legal process,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement. “What is angering President Trump? A previous action by this U.S. Attorney or one that is ongoing?” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/berman-fights-back-after-barr-says-he-s-out-as-u-s-attorney/ar-BB15JEpp?ocid=msedgntp tick tock Deep state describes despicable power-hungry insidious moles.
