Recently, Sen. Rand Paul in a speech given from the floor of the Senate, called the upcoming impeachment trial of Donald Trump a Marxist "kangaroo court."
We agree. Our concern in this entire process has nothing to do with personalities or political parties; our issue is the trampling of the US Constitution in pursuit of a political vendetta that gives a free pass to some for doing exactly what they are accusing Trump of doing—encouraging violence.
Let us set the stage.
After violence, damage, and the death of a former police officer, who do you think said: "This is a movement, I'm telling you. They're not gonna stop. And everyone beware because they're not gonna stop ... And everyone should take note of that. They're not gonna let up and they should not."
Then Democrat-Senator Kamala Harris said that just days after just days after the death of retired police officer David Dorn, and after rioters had stormed the White House, injured 60 Secret Service members, sent 11 of them to the hospital and destroyed six government vehicles.
Who do you think said: "If you think we are rallying now, you ain't seen nothing yet... No peace, No sleep... If you see anybody [the crowd disagrees with] in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them and you tell them that they are not welcome anymore, anywhere."
That was Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters.
Who do you think told people, "Please don't just come here today and then go home ... Go to the Hill today. Get up and, please, get up in the face of some congresspeople."
It was Democrat Senator Cory Booker.
Incredibly, it is these people who encouraged violence that are pushing impeachment against Donald Trump for 'inciting violence!'
But it doesn't end there!
Who stood before the Supreme Court and threatened certain Justices by name? "I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind. And you will pay the price! You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
That was now-Senate Democrat Majority Leader Chuck Schumer after 165 rioters had already been arrested for breaking through a police barrier, rushing up the steps, and beating on the doors of the Supreme Court during Justice Kavanaugh's swearing in.
Who would have said this - "If we were in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the h-ll out of him."
That was then-Democrat-candidate Joe Biden.
Who called for riots saying, "I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be."
That was Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In contrast, what did Trump actually say? He urged people to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard" on a march "to" the Capitol.
Reading his speech, it is clear he never encouraged violence. Moreover, the incursions into the Capitol building began BEFORE he even ended his speech to the crowd, a 45-minute walk away from his location.
There is NO constitutional authority to impeach a private citizen...
There were no witnesses, no evidence, and no defense allowed in the House. No wonder — there is no basis for impeachment.
We urge you to send an urgent fax to the Senate to demand that our representatives end this bogus trial.
