I know that I am generally against drawing moral equivalences. However, I fear I am now forced to reverse this stance in the following specific instance:
President Trump’s supposed quid pro quo (aka, bribery) was that the new Ukraine president needed to clean up his country’s rife corruption ... including the Burisma/Biden miasma ... before Trump would be releasing the next round of military aid.
Now, the fact that the Bidens were included in this transaction meant, according to Schiff and the Democrats, that Trump was trying to besmirch Joe Biden, a potential political adversary. Now, kind reader, key question — how could Joe Biden be disadvantaged after such an investigation unless he was shown to have acted illegally or immorally?
Ah, so pilgrim! According to the Deep State Department, the mere fact that such an investigation itself took place, or was taking place, would disadvantage Joe Biden in any future election.
Now, here comes the curve ball!
Isn’t the fact that Adam Schiff is conducting a much more public investigation into Trump’s supposed corruption ... the requested Ukrainian quid pro quo (aka, bribery) ... the moral equivalence of what Trump was supposedly asking from the new Ukrainian administration? And cannot this be said to be an attempt to damage Trump next year in his re-election bid?
So who is legit? Both are right or both are wrong! Should Schiff be impeached along with Trump? Or, if Schiff is within the yard markers, then so was Trump!
ReplyDeletePretending that Trump did not do anything wrong because you don't like Schiff is the worst form of hypocrisy and myopic self-deception.
Your supposed curve ball drops 3 feet in front of the plate into the dirt. Fiona Hill trots home in a walk-off win. Everyone knew what Trump wanted. Turn out the lights.
Justice?
