This isn’t really surprising, though, as we all know that this whole thing is the Democrats Trump Derangement Syndrome going back to when they were calling for Trump to be impeached as soon as he won the election. It’s just an extension of Russia Russia Russia.
AOC: Impeachment ‘About Preventing a Potentially Disastrous Outcome from Occurring Next Year’
On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Situation Room,†Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said today’s public hearing in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump was â€not just about something that has occurred.â€
She said it was instead “about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.â€
Ocasio-Cortez said, “The whole point of the public hearings is to present the facts to the public and let the general public see the facts for themselves and understand why we have chosen to move forward with the impeachment inquiry. What we heard today was astounding and devastating news for the president and anyone in the administration, really partaking. Frankly, this is devastating for the country. Our national security has been compromised, our elections potentially compromised. I think right now what Republicans have to do is decide what their role is going to be in the scope of history. We will look back at this time and really truly examine the moral decisions each member of Congress decided to make.†(snip)
She added, “I’d like to remind everyone, one of the initial people who brought this conversation of quid pro quo into this conversation was the president. It was when these allegations first came out about Ukraine, he started tweeting and frankly raising the bar saying, ‘No quid pro quo, no quid pro quo.’ It wasn’t Democrats that set that bar, because you don’t need quid pro quo. He met it, all of that aside, we’re focused on him using the power of the United States government to engage in extortion of a foreign government in order to intervene in our elections. I think that’s our message, the fact he undermined national security, that he is trying to undermine an election, he is engaged in flagrant abuse of power should be a concern to all Americans who believe in rule of law in the United States of America.â€
She concluded, “We also need to move quite quickly because we’re talking about the potential compromise of the 2020 elections. And so this is not just about something that has occurred; this is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.â€
Interesting. Democrats have been saying for years that they wanted to stop outside interference in our elections (not going to happen. We interfere in the elections of other nations, they interfere in ours, welcome to the world, Dems) and wanted to get to the heart of what happened in 2016. Well, Trump was trying to find out what happened. And Ukraine was a central player. Why is it only OK to investigate Trump and his team? When will we get the investigations into the Obama administration spying on presidential candidate Donald Trump and his campaign, then on president-elect Donald Trump and his team?
But, anyone, per AOC, this whole impeachment theater is about damaging Trump for the 2020 elections, essentially using a very serious measure in the U.S. Constitution to attempt to change the outcome of the election. We all know this, she’s just letting the cat out of the bag.
Seriously, impeachment theater was pretty bad on day 1
In what court of law in this country would the statement “After I testified, my aide told me he overheard Trump through a cell phone tell another guy something about the investigation” be admissible as evidence?

When your main witnesses on day 1 were actually not witnesses, good luck!
