Impeachment is a last ditch effort by the Democrats to get rid of Trump. The Democrats do not have anyone who is good enough to win in 2020. While top level swamp Democrats are about to be indicted for crimes they committed before and after the 2016 election.Things far worse than Watergate happened and top level Democrats are very vulnerable to criminal charges.
There was Democrat led FISA abuse, using tainted evidence bought by then candidate Hillary Clinton. There was also Democrat collusion with foreign nations such as with Ukraine. Ukraine still has the DNC sever that was supposedly hacked by the Russians and given to Wikileaks. Why is that sever in Ukraine and not with the FBI?
When Trump ran for president, he threatened to drain the swamp. Trump was aware of the corruption in Washington. The swamp immediately began a process to take out Trump via the collusion delusion. This attempted coup failed and led to Trump hiring AG Barr to investigate the origins of the failed coup.
The Democrats and the swamp are now scrambling, since many crimes were committed and Trump is moving forward with criminal indictments. Schiff and the Democrats are trying to intimidate witnesses, under the guise of an impeachment inquisition, but this will fail once the criminal indictment process begins.
To be honest, it's really hard to tell what is going on behind the scenes. We hear of "the swamp," which seems to be some kind of amorphous, nebulous concept that no one can really agree upon.
Sometimes I listen to the radio and hear Trump supporters suggest that this is all some big set up by the Democrats. I recall the movie
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington which, in the context of the story, shows how it's possible for a powerful political machine to make an honest, upstanding man appear to be an utter scumbag in the eyes of the voters. The only key difference now is that, back in those days, Jefferson Smith didn't have access to Twitter.
On the other hand, maybe Trump really is in cahoots with Putin. I suppose anything is possible.
But how can anyone know for certain? We don't know what goes on behind closed doors or what these people talk about privately. We can't read their minds either. The media offer very little in the way of clarity. They're talking more like rival boxers before a prize fight.
