In The “Hinderaker Admits” Dept.: Normalizing Felonies… By Sitting Presidents…

Whopperline-Hinderaker-Script-Trump-2016 I’ll make short work of this, as the new GOP strategy to fighting impeachment is to admit Trump committed several felonies, but then say “it’s normal, since it was only a short time…” or [the alternative formulation] “a brief period” — of violating federal criminal law.

Uh-huh. Orwell had nothing on these morons. Here’s the salient bit of John’s overnight feverish rant:

“…The brief pause in providing arms to Ukraine (Ed. Note: which is a felony, BTW — since Congress commanded the aid be sent immediately)… and Trump’s entirely proper telephone conversation with President Zelensky are absurdly weak pretexts for the Democrats’ impeachment effort, and I doubt whether anyone takes them seriously….”

We shall see about that. I hear there are GOP Senators lining up to vote for convictions, when that moment arrives.

whopper-art2-300x250 We shall, indeed see. But normalizing felonies [by admitting them, in writing — then distracting…] is something the principled people in the old GOP would never have attempted.

Good luck — with your time “storming the castle”, John.
