McConnell's Travesty, The Senate Impeachment Trial of President Donald J. Trump

McConnell's Travesty is the farce Impeachment Trial Moscow Mitch McConnell foisted on the American People. Democrats will fear Trump so long as he wields Presidential Power. Republican fear him more. Even Republican Senators, who are retiring, like Lamar Alexander (TN), would not vote to convict Trump, despite admitting that the House Managers proved their case. Alexander opined that Trump had learned his lesson through the Impeachment. The Senator is right. Trump learned multiple lessons when dealing with weaklings. Under Article II of the Constitution, an unrestrained and unrepentant Trump will do whatever he wants to do. The Congress, through McConnell's Travesty, has surrendered all Congressional Power to the Executive Branch.
Fuzzy-thinking Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) twice offered a question in the Trial to try to expose the identity of the Whistle Blower, whose Complaint triggered the Impeachment Inquiry. Chief Justice John Roberts refused to read it twice. Fuzzy-thinking defense attorney Alan Dershowitz opined that, if the President did something that he thought would help re-election, such act could not support Impeachment unless it constituted a serious crime. One by one, Republican Senators came to the floor of the Senate to try to justify their pending acquittal of the President. One by one, each failed because the President was guilty of Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress, and each Republican Senator knew it.
Senator Joe Mansion (D-WVA) suggested a Censure vote for Trump. That would sound nice, but would not restrain the out of control President. How about a team of FBI Agents to monitor Trump 24/7. That would not work because the FBI reports to Attorney General William Pelham Barr, and Trump controls Barr. By leaving Trump in office, Republicans have virtually assured that he will cheat to win on November 3, 2020. The conspiracy to smear former Vice President Joe Biden continues unabated. Hedging his bets, Trump recently called Bernie Sanders a Communist. It is ironic that Trump, a Russian asset, should call Sander a Communist. The question is, Will the American People fall for Soviet-style Disinformation and Propaganda again. Fool us twice, shame on us.
