We all know that from the moment he was elected the Left has intended to see President Trump impeached.  The Washington Post called for impeachment  nineteen minutes after the forty-fifth president was inaugurated.  Numerous irresponsible members of Congress and the media are on record demanding that he be impeached before they had even an inkling of what kind of President he would be. 

As it has turned out, Donald Trump has been a magnificent President.  He has accomplished things his predecessor in office, Barack Obama, said could never be achieved.  He has brought manufacturing back to the US.  Unemployment is the lowest in decades.  Many of the regulations that have strangled the economy have been rolled back.   

The list of the benefits his leadership has brought to the American people is too long to list here, but his many successes have driven the Democrats to mass distraction.  Their mission to see him removed from office became an obsession as their grief over Hillary's loss took root in their psyches. They have wanted revenge from day one.   

But like all people who believe themselves to be smarter than those for whom they have only contempt, they planned badly.  What began with the Clinton campaign and a few self-appointed commanders-in-chief in our once-premier law enforcement agencies quickly drew in fellow collaborators from around the world:  UK, Italy, Malta and who knows where else?  They paid a pack of Euro-trash lowlifes to create condemnatory but entirely false information about Trump to amplify Hillary's claim that Russia was responsible for her loss.

Even Adam Schiff was on board when he was pranked by those two Russian comedians who promised him "naked pictures of Trump." Schiff was so excited at the prospect of getting his hands on some Trump dirt that he was easily deceived.   Aside from Hillary and the DNC, Schiff is the only other person to have actually colluded with Russians for political advantage.  

Schiff is a fool.  That should be obvious to everyone by now, especially after the President's own lawyers’ first chance to present his side of the story on Saturday.  It was not only gripping but brief and revelatory.  Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi and their co-conspirators have perpetrated the biggest fraud on the American people in American history for wholly bogus reasons.  And they are all such legends in their own minds, they were certain they would get away with.  Their plan would see President Trump removed from office.  They never gave a thought or a bit of respect to the millions of people who voted for him -- precisely to be rid of people like them.   

"When the three branches of government have failed to represent the citizenry and the mass of the media has failed to represent the citizenry, then the citizenry better represent the citizenry." (David Mamet)  

The citizenry elected Donald Trump.

Counselors Cipollone, Sekulow, Purpura, Philbin were spectacular without being theatrical, unlike the performing seals that were the House managers.  They actually did focus on facts, not mind-reading, and the facts they addressed were all drawn from Schiff's and Nadler's  own witnesses, since the President was not allowed any defense  or witnesses.

In under three hours, as opposed to the 23 hours Schiff's pack of overseers spent repeating themselves, these four men eviscerated Schiff's very poorly-planned narrative.  The House Dems spent most of those 23 hours harking back to Russia collusion!  Even though the Mueller report dispensed with that hoax, Schiff cannot let it go. 

Monday and Tuesday, when these four lawyers continue their long-awaited defense of the President, are very likely going to negate the need for any witnesses, even though we would all like to see the Bidens and the faux-whistleblower questioned under oath.  And it is a safe bet that the witnesses Schiff wants to call - Bolton, and Mulvaney -- will further shatter their dream of a conviction.  

"The truth is incontrovertible, malice many attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."  (Churchill) 

Tolstoy wrote in Anna Karenina, 

"Hypocrisy in anything may deceive the cleverest and most penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it, and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised."  

Schiff and his fellow impeachifiers give new meaning to the word hypocrisy.  They all cried for fairness and due process when Bill Clinton was being impeached.  They saw to it that Trump was provided with neither; no counsel, no witnesses, no fairness and no due process. 

Those who had the time and inclination to watch the first words of defense of the President spoken on Saturday are sure to be revolted by what went on, not just over the previous three days but the for the past three years.  This entire debacle should be over by Wednesday.  Schiff's two silly articles should be dismissed out of hand.  We can all now see clearly who and what Schiff and his impeachment cultists are:  pompous, angry traitors to our Constitution.  They will be outsmarted by the Founders and the scholars who actually do know and revere our founding document and the law.  Their petty vindictiveness will condemn them to failure and a legacy of bumbling malfeasance.  

When the history of this attempted coup is written, all those who participated in this monstrous crime will be forever known as the Benedict Arnolds of the early 21st century.
