House Votes To Impeach President Trump

By Mike Huckabee

January 14, 2021
|

Wednesday, to nobody’s surprise, the House voted to impeach President Trump a second time, on grounds that he incited the violent protesters who stormed the Capitol. They were in such a rush to impeach him before he leaves office that they didn’t take time for the standard legal procedure of presenting evidence and letting him defend himself.

The vote was 232-197, with 10 Republicans joining the Democrats against Trump.

One Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney, was particularly outspoken, declaring, "The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing."

However, the FBI later announced that they had picked up evidence of plans for violence at the Capitol as early as January 5, the day before the attack, and they suspect some of the participants left the Trump rally early to pick up supplies and meet at the Capitol.

If so, that would mean that Trump’s speech, while it might have been irresponsible, did not incite the Capitol rioters, who planned their attack in advance and left before his speech to launch it.

This could mark the second time the Democrats rushed to judgement to impeach Trump, only to have their efforts collapse once they left the hyper-partisan House because they substituted partisan anger for solid legal evidence. This article explains how a Senate trial might not even happen.

Joe Biden seems to have cold feet about continuing this impeachment trial in the Senate, at least judging by his statement yesterday reminding Senators of “other urgent business” and his suggestion that they split their time between that and other things.

The fact is that by pulling this final rebuke of Trump, the House may have undercut Biden by handing the Senate a divisive, time-wasting responsibility (a trial to remove a President who’s already left office) just as Biden will be coming into office and wanting to fast-track his agenda. Mostly because they hope to ban Trump from running again, which it's doubtful the Senate has the power to do. It also tells us that for all their vilification of Trump, they still fear he might beat them in 2024.

Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats seem to think that they have put a real super-duper stain on Trump by impeaching him twice, but more so, they’ve stained themselves as rabid partisans and permanently devalued impeachment. Being “double-impeached” without proper procedure of evidence as he’s leaving office anyway is as hollow as Dean Wormer warning the frat boys in “Animal House” that they’re on “Double Secret Probation.”

Impeachment of a President is the most drastic of all remedies for the most serious of offenses. It’s a grave Constitutional crisis that should be undertaken with the utmost seriousness. By talking about impeaching Trump from the moment he was elected, then impeaching him over a phone call and having the Senate throw it out -- and then impeaching him again when he’s leaving office over a riot incitement charge that not only wouldn’t pass legal muster, but if it did, the people accusing him of it would be as guilty as he is -- they’ve reduced that most solemn of last-resort responsibilities to a nakedly partisan political ploy.

Want proof? A Georgia Republican Representative announced that she plans to introduce impeachment articles against Joe Biden the day after he takes office, over corruption related to China and Ukraine.

Of course, it won’t go anywhere in a Democrat House. But as satisfying as it might be for Republicans who’ve had to put up with Trump being attacked from day one – and now accused of attempting a coup by the same people who enabled the Russian Collusion attempted coup, and of inciting violent rioters by people who’ve spent the past year defending violent rioters – do we really want a banana republic-style nation where impeachment is just a meaningless political weapon that every President can expect to get hurled at him by the other party, like a mudball?

    "What goes around, comes around" as the old saying goes. "What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander." Trump is an honorable man and has worked hard for our country only to face slander, vehement or violent denunciation, and censure. Now we are facing these same acts in our new cultural change of language, manage deportment and speech.

That was completely false but he still got re elected. The incoming Mayor had a terrible situation that even now has only gotten worse.

    So, when do the "Impeach Biden" proceedings begin? I am just kidding, but the precedent has been set. The only problem is the Republicans are not as good at partisan, dirty politics as the Democrats. I used to think it was because they were just too nice. After they abandoned President Trump the way they did, I now think it is because many of them are as dirty and vile as the Democrats. They all disgust me!

No! we all need to continue to stand for America, let this thing unfold, and move forward. no matter what happens, absolutely nothing ever takes God by surprise, and we should first trust the Lord’s hand in this situation.

    I have replayed the President's speech twice and I am still looking for the irresponsible part. Nothing he said inspired me to grab my guns and rush the crooks in DC. I think it is disingenuous on your part to mimic the media's characterization of 'irresponsible.' The speech was passionate and directed at the corruption, which has been proven by the reaction of Liz Cheney and others claiming to be Republicans.

    House Votes To Impeach President Trump

    Wednesday, to nobody’s surprise, the House voted to impeach President Trump a second time, on grounds that he incited the violent protesters who stormed the Capitol. They were in such a rush to impeach him before he leaves office that they didn’t take time for the standard legal procedure of presenting evidence and letting him defend himself.

    One Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney, was particularly outspoken, declaring, "The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing."

Being “double-impeached” without proper procedure of evidence as he’s leaving office anyway is as hollow as Dean Wormer warning the frat boys in “Animal House” that they’re on “Double Secret Probation.”

    Impeachment of a President is the most drastic of all remedies for the most serious of offenses. It’s a grave Constitutional crisis that should be undertaken with the utmost seriousness.

But as satisfying as it might be for Republicans who’ve had to put up with Trump being attacked from day one – and now accused of attempting a coup by the same people who enabled the Russian Collusion attempted coup, and of inciting violent rioters by people who’ve spent the past year defending violent rioters – do we really want a banana republic-style nation where impeachment is just a meaningless political weapon that every President can expect to get hurled at him by the other party, like a mudball?

    A bounce back?

    Aug 7, 2024
    Tuesday morning, US stock futures bounced back a bit after Monday’s historic plummet, when the NASDAQ fell over 1,000 points for the first time ever. But we’re hardly out of the woods yet. The Dow dropped over 1,000 points on Monday, on top of big losses last week. As of this writing, the Dow is back up by about 480 points.

    Inconvenient Truth

    For anyone who’s considering voting for Kamala Harris for President because she’s black and female, or whatever other meaningless surface reasons are being floated, ponder this:

      I so enjoy your newsletter and your refreshing, common sense. My parents always told us kids that wrongdoing would result in punishment. We learned the hard way that was true! WHY, WHY, WHY do the Democrats get away with everything? Its so disheartening. Thank you for your voice of reason amid all this madness.

      "What goes around, comes around" as the old saying goes. "What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander." Trump is an honorable man and has worked hard for our country only to face slander, vehement or violent denunciation, and censure. Now we are facing these same acts in our new cultural change of language, manage deportment and speech.

      I as a citizen and voter for President Trump, I am appalled at this. How can we just sit on our hands and do nothing to stop the corruption and evil.

      They better watch what they wish for. I cannot predict what the “Harris/Biden” ticket will do once in office but they sure spouted out a lot of unconstitutional things, like mandatory buy back of AR15’s, getting rid of the electoral college, packing the courts, adding more justices, allowing amnesty to every illegal in the nation, some of these things constitutional, some not..... will the GOP have a back bone and scrutinize every little thing they do, every call they make with China or Ukraine and impeach both Biden and Harris?? Oh, but then Pelosi becomes president. Oh well, she is impeachable too., tearing up a state document on video!

      If feasible and considered worth pursuing It would be good if on January 20, 2021, no Americans (Republicans) flocked to attended the Inaiugaratuo then the 20, 000 National guards and Capital police would not have any reason to blame the Republican party for any disruptions. They indicate they need an army with machine guns for protection on that day. They hate to be ignored or downplayed. We should show them by our inattention to the inauguration that it is not worth the Republicans losing the war by this one battle,

      What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Conservatives must do or the democrats all that was done to Trump, in spades. They deserve it!

      Do you really think that President Trump's speach invoked violence? I listen to that speach and hear let your voices be heard. I know you have heard Maxine Waters and all those democrats tell there people to attack us for four years. He said nothing like that.

      NOT TOO LATE for the "phony incitement" charge to be repeated - over and over until even the mainstream media accepts it. Each time the message/incitement timeline is mentioned, accompany it with one or two of the Dem. Representatives making a wild accusation, especially when they attribute rally attendees of planning the "coup".

      We already have a banana republic. We had an election that would be the envy of any banana republic. We have to figure out how to get the trust back.

      President Trump is NOT leaving office this year. I'm not a gambler, but I would bet the house on it!

      I like the idea of impeaching Kamala Harris first, supposedly her name is part of the Hunter Biden family China documents, and then Joe Biden. Or both together. The difference between Trump fake impeachment is that there seems to be an actual crime with evidence. They also benefited from some unanswered questions regarding irregular voting practices. We deserve to know the truth in all matters.

      I understand your desire to "rise" above the childish actions of Pelosi's house, but a lot of Americans are getting tired of Republicans rolling over and playing dead. The 10 who voted for impeachment should lose the next election. BTW how many Jeff Flake clones are there???

      Thanks for your continuing calmness and clarity. I feel Mrs. Pelosi and Democrats pull out impeachment like a 45 pistol used to be pulled out in the Old West. It is like crying Wolf. After awhile it means nothing.

      It is such a joke that David Ciccilline (D-RI) is in such a rush to pass judgment on the President when he is such a lying snake who left the city of Providence RI in a financial mess but stated the city was in excellent financial standing. That was completely false but he still got re elected. The incoming Mayor had a terrible situation that even now has only gotten worse. That is the kind of Dem. we have governing in DC and God help us it is going to only get worse. Watch you faithfully Saturday nights on TBN, love your show and my thanks to Matt & Laurie for providing us with such good, wholesome programming.

      If the Senate waits to take action on President Trump after he is left office and is a common citizen can he take legal action against the government for denying due process and violating the Constitution.

      So, when do the "Impeach Biden" proceedings begin? I am just kidding, but the precedent has been set. The only problem is the Republicans are not as good at partisan, dirty politics as the Democrats. I used to think it was because they were just too nice. After they abandoned President Trump the way they did, I now think it is because many of them are as dirty and vile as the Democrats. They all disgust me!

      We do need to impeach Biden. He’s a threat to our national security because of his ties and dealings with China and the Ukraine.

      You hit the nail right on the head. They have devalued the impeachment process. This Democratic Party is absolutely unhinged and disgusting...

      I'm ready for Jesus to come back. There is no government or free speech anymore. These leftist, including all the Republican traitors are a disgrace to our country.

      I see Harris chomping at the bit when she heard impeachment charges against Biden will be placed on the 21st. Now she won’t have to invoke the 25th amendment to remove him. They can blame to republicans.

      I’m still a tried and true fan of Trump and the MAGA agenda! we elected him bc he’s not part of the swamp; and i still support what he is doing! do i agree with everything he’s doing? no. do i believe Trump incited violence to create the 1-6-2021 scenes that unfolded on Capitol Hill? No! we all need to continue to stand for America, let this thing unfold, and move forward. no matter what happens, absolutely nothing ever takes God by surprise, and we should first trust the Lord’s hand in this situation. Between Covid, and so many other attacks on Christianity and (Freedom), I see all of this as opening the door fir end of days; exciting times!

      I have replayed the President's speech twice and I am still looking for the irresponsible part. Nothing he said inspired me to grab my guns and rush the crooks in DC. I think it is disingenuous on your part to mimic the media's characterization of 'irresponsible.' The speech was passionate and directed at the corruption, which has been proven by the reaction of Liz Cheney and others claiming to be Republicans.
