Losing her impeachment case against 73-year-old Donald Trump in the Senate Feb. 5, 80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi can’t stop herself from slamming the president. If tearing up her copy of Trump’s State-of-the-Union speech weren’t bad enough, Pelosi can’t contain her ire against Trump, blasting him for reassigning 44-year-old Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman for testifying against him in Democrats’ impeachment hearings. Vindman and his twin brother Lt. Col. Yevgeney Vindman were relocated to the Pentagon, something that infuriated Pelosi. Anyone that backs her failed impeachment case against Trump has earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Pelosi bit her tongue, watching 69-year-old conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh get the honor Feb. 5 at the State-of-the-Union Speech. Pelosi can’t speak publicly about her disgust for Limbaugh, certainly for Trump.
Trump has the right to remove anyone from his National Security Council that actively works to undermine his authority. When Vindman testified Nov. 19, 2019 that Trump withheld military funds from Ukraine, he implicated Trump in an illegal quid pro quo with 40-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Vindman gave House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) everything he wanted to convict Trump of pressuring Zelensky to dig up dirt of former Vice President Joe Biden and the 50-year-old son, Hunter. “President Trump is impeached forever,” Pelosi said Feb. 7, repeating herself again to save face. She knows that the bottom line is Trump was acquitted Feb. 5 by 53 U.S. Republican Senators, knowing that she did not prove her impeachment case against Trump. She and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y) have insulted GOP Senators.
Pelosi and Schumer think if you didn’t vote to convict Trump, you breached your oath of office, the same language they used to insult Trump. Because 73-year-old Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Ut.) voted Feb. 5 to convict Trump on abuse of power, Pelosi thinks he’s Democrats’ new hero. According to Pelosi an Schumer, only Romney has the integrity to convict Trump. Democrats voted as a caucus to convict Trump of high-crimes-and-misdemeanors because of his July 25, 2019 call with Zelensky. Calling Republicans that voted to acquit Trump “patsies,” Pelosi and Schumer continue to save face after their impeachment defeat. “The shameful firing of Lieutenant Colonel Vindman was a clear and brazen act of retaliation that showcases the President’s fear of the truth,” Pelosi said, making the same disparaging comments against all GOP Senators except Romney.
Vindman and his twin brother were functionaries on the National Security Council. Harboring negative thoughts about Trump, Vindman has no place on the National Security Council. Pelosi wants to call Trump’s actions a harmful act to U.S. national security, knowing that the president has every right to have whomever he wants working on his team. Testifying against him in the impeachment hearings shows that Vindman and his twin brother had no interest in working for the Trump presidency. If Pelosi had someone on her staff undermining her leadership she’d fire him-or-her in a heartbeat. But kow Pelosi has to assign Trump the most sinister of motives, betraying a true American patriot. Pelosi and Schimer find all Republican Senators, except Mitt, breaching their oath-of-office to acquit Trump. No one’s more biased against the president than the House Speaker.
Pelosi presented her case to the Senate and only Mitt joined her on abuse of power to convict the president. Why is it OK for Pelosi to hold an opinion but not OK for Republicans to do the same? Anyone that challenges her case against Trump subverts the U.S. Constitution and rule of law. “His brave testimony showed America that right still matters,” Pelosi said, again condemning anyone that disagrees with her. To Pelosi and Schumer, it you don’t agree with their impeachment case, you’re betraying your country, plain-and-simple. That the same argument was given by lead House Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) who turned off every Republican Senator but Romney. Yet to Pelosi and Schumer if you don’t vote with Democrats, you’re in a conspiracy with Trump to subvert the U.S. government. Vindman “upheld his oath when others would not,” Schiff said. “Right matters to him. And to us,” said Schiff.
After losing their impeachment case against Trump, Democrats can only have sour grapes, accusing the president of more malfeasance. “President Trump is exacting retribution, removing those who complied with subpoenas, came forward, and testified about his [Trump’s] misconduct,” Schiff said. No Democrat accepts the Senate’s verdict against acquittal. Instead of accepting the Senate’s verdict, Pelosi and Schumer continue to insist on Trump’s guilt, despite the acquittal. If only they got more documents-and-witnesses, they could have made a stronger case. When you consider that Pelosi and Schumer wanted to use a yet-to-be published tabloid book by 71-year-old former National Security Adviser John Bolton as “evidence” against Trump, it tells the whole story about Trump’s impeachment: Pelosi can’t accept that Trump humiliated her on national TV, now seeks to get even.
