On Tuesday dipshit MAGA Oklahoma Congressman Markwayne Mullin introduced a resolution to the House to “expunge” Trump’s first impeachment (presumably there will be a separate one to “expunge” the second one). “We cannot allow this behavior to go unanswered. And we are seeing in real time what being behind the eight ball actually looks like for US support to Ukraine. My resolution is about restoring credibility to the impeachment process and ensuring a political play like this never happens again,” Mullin told Fox News about the resolution.
It goes on and on with right wing bullshit packaged as “Whereas”, but probably the best part is how Mullin manages to directly contradict himself within a few pages, writing “Whereas, from the beginning, despite the rabid impeachment fervor led by House and Senate Democrats, media personalities, and the liberal elite class, both President Trump and President Zelensky maintained that there was no pressure, no quid pro quo, and no linkage between the $391,000,000, and the announcement of Ukrainian investigations… Whereas the $391,000,000 in Ukrainian military and security assistance was released without Ukraine announcing an investigation of any kind” and but then a few pages later saying “Whereas a key and widely-understood aspect of the Trump administration’s foreign policy platform was to scrutinize, and closely evaluate defense assistance programs to foreign nations; Whereas one of President Trump’s central campaign promises was to ensure that each country that receives defense assistance from the United States must first prove themselves worthy beneficiaries thereof;” without actually detailing how the Ukrainian government proved “themselves worthy beneficiaries” other than a half-assed “Whereas a United States President enjoys broad authority to direct the foreign policy of the United States, and pausing United States security assistance to Ukraine for further scrutiny and analysis, for 55 days, was not and is not presumptive or prima facie evidence of misconduct, or a ‘quid pro quo’ exchange, as characterized by congressional Democrats before, and throughout, the impeachment proceedings;”
Mullin wraps it up with “Whereas by so flippantly exercising one of the gravest and most consequential powers with which the House of Representatives is charged, Democrats have committed the sin about which the Founding Fathers of the United States warned, that being the use of presidential impeachment in a partisan fashion to settle political scores, and relitigate election results with which they disagree, in this case, the 2016 Presidential election of Donald Trump: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the December 18, 2019, impeachment of President Donald John Trump is expunged, as the facts and circumstances upon which the Articles of Impeachment were based did not meet the burden of proving the commission of ‘high Crimes and Misdemeanors’ as set forth in Section Four of Article II of the United States Constitution..”
