NOTE TO MITCH: The Constitution Doesn’t Force You To Entertain Democrat Witch Hunts
The Senate Majority Leader is showing his constitutional illiteracy.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) vowed earlier today that he would go along with the Democratic Party’s witch hunt if the House formally impeaches President Donald Trump over his correspondence with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Well, under the Senate rules, we’re required to take it up if the House does go down that path, and we’ll follow the Senate rules … It’s a Senate rule related to impeachment that would take 67 votes to change, so I would have no choice but to take it up. How long you’re on it is a whole different matter, but I would have no choice but to take it up, based on a Senate rule on impeachment,” McConnell said today during an appearance on CNBC.
However, McConnell is misrepresenting the powers granted to the Senate under Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 of the Constitution, which states as follows:
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
While the Constitution makes it clear that the Senate has “the sole power to try all Impeachments,” it does not state that the Senate must try any impeachment proceeding that is approved by the House. If McConnell and Senate Republicans had the will, they could simply ignore the House’s impeachment vote.
It appears that McConnell is intent upon going through with the Democrats’ charade, as he has remained consistent on his position for months.
“If it [impeachment] were to happen, the Senate has no choice. If the House were to act, the Senate immediately goes into a trial,” McConnell said to NPR in March.
McConnell continues to play both sides of the fence, making light of the Democratic Party’s witch hunt while simultaneously being willing to entertain their impeachment endeavor if they are willing to take it far enough.
“If this all sounds familiar,” McConnell said last week referring to the impeachment drive from the Democrats, “that’s because at this time literally one week ago, the same Democrats were shouting about impeaching [Supreme Court] Justice Brett Kavanaugh.”
“That rush to judgment was on the basis of a sketchy story in a major newspaper that promptly had to publish an enormous correction,” he added, in a reference to the New York Times being caught circulating misleading news. “But one week later, here they go again: Threatening impeachment without the facts in hand.”
“While our friends across the Capitol rush to judgment and dive deeper into their nearly three-year-old impeachment addiction, we’ll stay focused on the American people’s business,” McConnell said to finish his thought.
President Trump is apparently realizing that his own party’s leaders may not have his back, and has escalated his Twitter assault against the over-reaching Democrats in recent days:
….rid of Donald J. Trump – And the Democrats don’t care if they burn down and destroy this nation in the process. I have never seen the Evangelical Christians more angry over any issue than this attempt to illegitimately remove this President from office, overturn the 2016….

Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people. It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?

Again, the President of Ukraine said there was NO (ZERO) PRESSURE PUT ON HIM BY ME. Case closed!

WHO CHANGED THE LONG STANDING WHISTLEBLOWER RULES JUST BEFORE SUBMITTAL OF THE FAKE WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT? DRAIN THE SWAMP!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2019
With McConnell seemingly unwilling to use his power to protect President Trump from this witch hunt, Trump will likely be without many allies inside the beltway as he fights on behalf of the American people against this unprecedented assault on democracy.

Trump’s DHS Ignores Far-Left BLM/Antifa Terrorists, Declares So-Called ‘White Supremacists’ to Be Top Domestic Terror Threat
Cops are being shot in the street.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf is the latest Trump administration official to fold to the left-wing narrative to demonize white people, claiming that so-called “white supremacist extremists” are the real terrorist threat, and refusing to name ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter as the top domestic terror threats in the U.S.
“White supremacist extremists, from a lethality standpoint over the last two years, particularly when you look at 2018 and 2019, are certainly the most persistent and lethal threat when we talk about domestic violent extremists,” Wolf said while addressing senators – citing no figures to back his assertion up.
In addition to peddling deep state nonsense against white people, Wolf also parroted talking points about how the evil Rooskies are going to interfere in this election. He claimed that “Russia looks to denigrate former Vice President Biden” and that they are undermining U.S. elections. He seemed to give Iran and China a pass when addressing those hostile nations though.
Wolf’s comments show that the DHS is as compromised as the FBI. Big League Politics has reported about how the FBI has covered for ANTIFA/BLM terrorists while putting the focus on white supremacists as cities are razed by organized gangs of roving savages:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in a press release on Wednesday that FBI agents had apprehended 42-year-old El Paso resident Manuel Flores for allegedly “posting a threatening communication over the Internet.”
In the offending video, Flores allegedly made several racial slurs and dared BLM activists to try to “stop him” from exercising his Constitutional rights. This caused the feds to intervene in order to protect the organized movement of rioters destroying the country.
“Our office will treat any threats of violence against protesters extremely seriously,” U.S. Attorney John Bash wrote in a statement released over Twitter.
The FBI has carried water for the left-wing agitators since the beginning of the nationwide riots, doing everything they can to paint conservatives and right-wingers as the real threat…
The deep state clearly wants these riots to continue, as it may be their only chance to avoid the Trump administration’s reprisal for their illegal Russian collusion witch hunt and various other criminal activities.
The president’s administration has been subverted and is working to demonize white people for the globalists. The systemic hatred against white people is rising, and the Department of Homeland Security is fanning the flames of this hatred with nonsense.
