Dear CV Friend,

Like or hate Trump...

The Senate's impeachment trial is a farce.

And even Senate Democrats know it.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has already agreed on a
fast-track timetable that will conclude the trial in less than a
week.

You'll hear from the House impeachment managers, the former
president's legal team, and of course, the senators will make
their speeches.

No witnesses. No real debate. Lots of blustering aimed at
punishing political enemies.

The purpose of an impeachment trial is to consider whether an
elected official is guilty of "high crimes or misdemeanors" for
the purpose of removing them from office. Except President Trump
is no longer in office! Which is why many scholars have argued
that the trial itself is not even constitutional.

So what's the point of all this?

President Trump gave an impassioned speech on January 6 about
election integrity. Many Americans even today wonder about
allegations of illegality and fraud. But he never called for
violence, or for a riot at the Capitol. He called on rally
attendees to fight for the truth, and to march "peacefully."
Instead a reckless group of rioters decided to imitate BLM.

DOUBLE STANDARD? If Democrats are serious about rebuking Trump
because they believe his speech was reckless or "incited
violence" then they need to be consistent. Not a single Democrat
has been corrected or held accountable for their own reckless
speech against the President. Should Bernie Sanders be held
accountable for the superfan who opened fire on Republican
lawmakers on a softball field?

It's worth recalling a few examples of Democratic "speech" urging
aggression and even violence...

-Sen. Cory Booker, D-NJ, told activists to "get up in the face of
some congresspeople" and said that supporters of Justice
Kavanaugh were "complicit in evil."

-Rep. Maxine Waters, D-CA, told a rowdy crowd in Los Angeles: "If
you see a member of the Trump administration at a restaurant, at
a department store, at a gas station ,or any place, you create a
crowd and you push back on them."

-Vice President Kamala Harris (then a sitting U.S. Senator)
encouraged activists to fund anarchists arrested for burning our
cities during the antifa and Black Lives Matter riots this
summer.

Their punishment? Fawning praise by the media.

If Democrats were serious and took responsibility for their own
reckless rhetoric, they could work with Republicans on a possible
resolution to censure former President Trump.

But they aren't serious. And the hypocrisy is glaring.

This is about Democrats yelling loud, one last time, about how
much they hate Donald Trump -- and everyone and everything he
stood for.

They can't let him go. He gets under their skin. And I think you
know why.

Republican leaders over the last twenty years have often
resembled the hapless Washington Generals team that the Harlem
Globetrotters run circles around. For far too long, Republicans
had hoped that their earnestness and good faith would be
congratulated by the media, and that the media would in turn hold
Democrats accountable.

But the problem is that the media gatekeepers are referees who
are really wearing blue jerseys.

Millions of people in this country are sick and tired of the
double standards. Americans are passionate, and we like to win.
But we must have basic fairness. And when Democrats and the
mainstream media began acting as one, they've changed the
ballgame.

Over the last decade, we've seen the left weaponize and
politicize everything from business to sports. Their rigid
ideology demands atonement and submission. The only thing they
seem to understand is power.

Donald Trump is not flawless by any means.

But this impeachment effort is nothing but a political stunt.

And for good reason, it is destined to fail.
