Democrats Must Impeach Trump To Find Out What He Did

Michael Knowles

We had to pass Obamacare to find out what was in it, and we need to impeach the President to find out what crime he committed. “The President leaves us no choice but to act,” declared Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “The President has engaged in an abuse of power, undermining our national security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections.” Just what crime the President committed, no one can say. But Democrats fear “grave risk to the country with waiting until we have every last fact,” as Democratic House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff explained.

Facts pose no danger to the country, but they do threaten Democrats’ impeachment plans. During last month’s impeachment inquiry hearings, Democrats came up with just one witness who ever discussed military aid to Ukraine with President Trump, and that witness, Gordon Sondland, contradicted Democrats’ accusations of a quid pro quo. Sondland, testified that Trump instructed him, “I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Tell Ukraine to do the right thing.”
