WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Trumps Rectum) called on his fellow Republicans in the Senate to demand former Vice President Joe Bidens son Hunter testify in an impeachment trial, should the House pass articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.
Yesterday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced that she was instructing House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to draft impeachment articles after a few weeks of hearings, both behind closed doors and public, in the judiciary committee and in Rep. Adam Schiffs intelligence committee. Pelosis call for articles of impeachment came a day after the judiciary committee heard testimony from three constitutional scholars who all said Trumps behavior in regards to his efforts to pressure Ukraine into investigating Biden, in an attempt to dig up dirt that would help discredit his father.
Democrats have argued Trumps actions amount to a quid pro quo, and show a wanton ability on Trumps part to abuse his enormous power for personal political gain. The scholars who the Democrats called to testify in the judiciary committee largely echoed those sentiments. All three drew comparisons to what former President Richard Nixon was accused of in his articles of impeachment, though the House never got to vote on them because Nixon resigned before he could be formally impeached.
Congressman Jordan and his fellow House Republicans have attempted to dismiss the allegations of a quid pro quo by insisting that the Ukrainian government was unaware that President Trump was attempting to extort them in exchange for a politically-motivated investigation into Joe Bidens son Hunter. Jordan would later tell reporters his reasoning for that line of questioning.
If a man is being robbed by his neighbors, but he has no idea his neighbors are robbing him, do we still prosecute the robber? Adam Schiff would like to think that we still do, Jordan said when some reporters found him rinsing his mouth with mouthwash, which hed later explain was to wash the taste of Trumps groin region out. But if this is America, then the answer is, obviously, we dont. Especially if the robber is technically the President of the United States and the robbery is actually an attempt to subvert American foreign policy for political gain. And if you add in the fact that hes a white Republican president? Hooo boy! Youve got yourself quite a mess on your hands, if you ask me.
