A Fisking We Will Go: ‘Congress Will Have to ‘Start Impeachment Proceedings’ Against Trump After Cohen Filing, Says Former Nixon White House Lawyer’
8th December 2018
The ‘former Nixon White House lawyer’ in question is John Dean, famous teller of tall tales, but of course they can’t put that in the headline or everyone would say ‘oh, him’ and fail to read the article.
Evidence from Donald Trump’s former lawyer about Russian collusion with his presidential campaign team could lead to his impeachment, Richard Nixon’s former White House counsel has claimed.
Note the weasel-word ‘could’. As with ‘climate change’, this is how progs get around the fact that (a) there is no evidence (but there ‘could’ be!) that Trump is connected with any of Cohen’s shenanigans, or that (b) ‘collusion’ is not a crime, however much prog handwringing it triggers.
Mr Dean told CNN that the US Congress had enough evidence to impeach the US leader.
But that evidence isn’t cited or specified, of course. The point is to make the statement, not back it up. ‘See! See! John Dean says there’s enough evidence for impeachment, and he ought to know!’
What John Dean certainly knows is that CNN isn’t going to give him the publicity he craves if he says ‘No there there.’
