The Impeachment Perplexes — Now It Doesn’t Perplex
If Biden is innocent, then he should welcome a formal inquiry so as to clear his name. Why do so many Democrats choose to speak for him, forcefully declaring his innocence? They, too, should welcome clearing his name if it is indeed so clear that he did not perform a quid pro quo with Ukraine. However, the Democratic game is not on par with this kind of honesty in the very first instance. Furthermore, such matters should not be rendered to a game at all, but rather they should be rendered to a governing process of judicial review. The game of the Democrats is to flaunt their status of being above reproach — in this instance, they have put out a video where Vice President Biden openly states his quid pro quo in the matter of having the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma fired in return for our nation providing a substantial amount of foreign aid to Ukraine! They are playing this video so as to frustrate everyone’s sense that justice should be done to members of both sides of the aisle, that nobody is above the law. Senator Graham for reasons of good governing through the rule of law stands disposed to investigate this incident of Vice President Biden threatening to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine. Who are we to Ukraine if this investigation is not implemented? There comes a time when the persona of a former leader of the United States — no matter that he is running for president — must be placed as secondary to the sheer primacy of the question of how we as a nation, of how our leaders, may conduct foreign policy. President Trump’s diplomacy in trying to clear the slate with President Zelensky of Ukraine is above-board and outstanding compared to Vice President Biden’s blatant, outrageous breach of ethics in dealing with the internal matters of Ukraine as juxtaposed to the question of his son’s status, working for the company that was under investigation; how could he ever justify triangulating over to foreign aid? Why should a family member’s business dealings ever be relevant to a matter concerning the delivery or non-delivery of foreign aid to Ukraine? These are inferential questions that infuriate Biden currently. We all see this as so obviously portrayed in the popular video wherein Biden bullies the Ukraine and then brags about it; in reality, that is merely a Democratic Party game tactic to throw our governing system into the darkness of improper legal reasoning ultimately. Now it is the task before us to escape that impropriety so planted and transcend via the power of our Constitutional principles and provisions. Let us pray for that vindication. Nonetheless, let us take the part of a concerned mind for our nation’s fair presidential elections — that we can obviate foreign interference by presenting a solidified front, for instance, wherein the two parties work together patriotically and defensively. Let us say that the quid pro quo performed by Biden as it was indelibly connected to a clear-minded prosecutor’s removal from office so as to keep Burisma out of the question for some reason (?) is never investigated. Then will this video that displays Biden’s bullyism in the Ukraine over the Burisma matter that he now declares had nothing to do with his son since he trusts his son become a tool of further interference in the next presidential election, 2020? How close to Russia is the Ukraine in terms of allying with Russia so as to interfere with our United States’ presidential choice-making? If we cannot clear up this matter formally within our governing system, then how much will we have bent to our own possible corruption that indeed would invite foreign interference with our election process? Perhaps Senator Graham’s words and clear thinking on this matter will bring about actions that could help our nation achieve some new level of immunity to foreign interference in our elections for 2020 and in the long run as well. However, it is certain to me at least that strategically the Democrats through Biden openly condemning himself with the video where he declared his quid pro quo with Ukraine when he was vice president only laid a strategic bait. This strategic bait would successively condemn President Trump in his conduct of foreign policy with Ukraine no matter whether President Trump was ethical or non-ethical, for the Democrats would simply use false accusation if and when necessary. This is the use of the power of corruption to corrupt the good on the part of the Democrats; it says in simple terms that, “I can get away with it, but you can’t. Even if you stay within goodness in action, we will cast this stone over your action and wrongly accuse you as a sequel to our open declaration of our own corruption that you so detest.” This is known as indoctrination, and it precedes a profound overturn of legal propriety. Trump is innocent. They have no case.
