OPINION:
Out here in real America — you know, that place politicians fear to tread because they may be asked what a gallon of milk costs — we have some questions regarding the impeachment of President Trump (“DOJ: Barr denies Bolton’s book claim of being worried about Trump ’favors’ to other countries,” Web, Jan. 28).
How is it that a portion of former Trump adviser John R. Bolton’s book (in fact, the perfect part of the book that the Democratic House managers needed, at precisely the moment they needed it) was leaked by The New York Times? The next obvious question we out here in real America are asking is: If the Bolton book is in the hands of our national security machine, how did The New York Times get their hands on it?
To us, it looks like more trickery on the part of the national political apparatus that we now call the deep state. It’s pretty clear to most Americans now that there are still some rats on board the good ship United States that need to be smoked out and dealt with before any sense of normalcy will be restored to our lives. It is equally obvious that this foolishness will go on unless formal charges are levied on the coup conspirators and they are remanded to prison.
The crimes committed by Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi are orders of magnitude worse than anything President Trump is accused of because of the damage they’ve done to America.
It’s time to end the impeachment with an acquittal and prosecute the real threats to our nation.
