Impeachment is getting real as Trump gets some high profile names on his legal team. Right before the impeachment trial, Trump gets some more bad news. I guess it’s bad news. A jerk from the NFL acts like a jerk at the NCAA Men’s Football Championship and gets an arrest warrant for his jerkiness. And the Dodger got screwed…twice.
He Knows How to Pick a Dream Team
Trump added some major players to his legal staff. They include:
- Kenneth Starr – Was the independant investigator during the Clinton impeachment.
- Robert Ray – Replaced Kenneth Starr during the Clinton impeachment and wrote the final report on Clinton.
- Alan Dershowitz – Harvard Law professor specializing in Constitutional law and defense attorney for OJ Simpson
Dershowitz is a liberal and voted for Hillary Clinton. He has also been implicated with Jeffry Epstein. Expect to hear his name being trashed by the media.
The three will join White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow to represent Trump in the trial.
On Thursday, the Government Accountability Office issued its report on the White House temporarily freezing U.S. security aid allocated for Ukraine, concluding that President Trump violated the Impoundment Control Act by “substitut[ing] his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law.” Trump responded Friday morning by tweeting out a quote from Harvard Law’s Alan Dershowitz, who argues that the GAO has it “exactly backwards.”
Trump responded on Twitter:
Essentially, when Congress approves funds, the President must alert Congress and explain why he is withholding those funds. This act was passed in 1974 during the Nixon administration. Nixon was withholding funds that were approved by Congress that did not require the President’s signature. The law is meant to remove the President’s ability to impound funds for programs he did not approve.
Though the Democrats will point this out during the impeachment hearings, this is not an impeachable offense. If Congress discovered that funds they approved were withheld, they would take the President to court to force him to explain why the funds were withheld. So it is not considered a high crime or misdemeanor.
There is thought that, since the President did release the funds to Ukraine, the law does not apply.
There is also a question as to the law’s Constitutionality. It basically removes oversight from the President, especially if it goes against his policy, either foreign or domestic. And example would be if Congress approves from Iran and the President wants to stop it. That’s a loose example but that is the oversight a lot of scholars question and it has not been directly answered by the Supreme Court.
Finally, the “evidence” of Trump’s corruption comes from a guy named Lev Parness. Parness is a Ukrainian with a very checked history. He says that he has evidence, including text messages using WhatsApp with Republican Congressional candidate Robert Hyde
Parness says he worked with Rudy Giuliani and followed U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch because, he says, Trump didn’t like or trust her.
Democrats love him. He has been cruising MSNBC, CNN and other news outlets saying that he should testify in the impeachment hearings because he knows everything. Nancy Pelosi said he could be a very important witness.
Yeah. I think we’ve seen this movie before. This guy has some issues:
- He’s under indictment in New York for corruption including forging paperwork.
- Ukrainian officials said he is corrupt and no one should trust him.
- Robert Hyde said he thought the text messages were a joke and doesn’t understand why they are being take seriously.
- President Trump never met or spoke to him and the picture with him and Parness was a photo op.
- Parness admits he never talked to Trump. He said he got messages from Giuliani.
- His evidence are his own notes and the text messages. That’s it. No phone records or metadata or recordings. Just his notes.
The Democrats seem to always do this. They get the dregs of society like Michael Cohen and Michael Avenatti and parade them around like they have any legitimacy.
And it’s just getting started. Mark my words, this is going to get ugly.

Give the Kid a Break
LSU defeated Clemson on Monday to win the NCAA National Championship in football. And how do champions celebrate their victory? The light up cigars. That’s what they did. Most of them did it.
It’s odd but, OK, I’d do it.

You can imagine with everyone smoking cigars, there going to be a heck of a haze in the locker room.
Well, it’s illegal to smoke indoors in Georgia. The police gently warned the players to stop but the players thought the cops were joking.
It took the police threatening to arrest the players if they did not stop smoking. Odell Beckham Jr. smack a cop in the butt because he thought he was kidding.
Come on, man. Give the kids a break. They’re not shooting meth.

Dodgers Got Screwed!
Heads are rolling in Major League Baseball. There is a huge cheating scandal that involves the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox.
These teams even cheated in the world series. Here’s a clip from Jomboy Media on YouTube showing how the Astros cheated.
Apparently what these teams did is use a camera in the outfield to steal the signs.There was a small monitor in the dugout. A player would then hit a trash can whenever the pitch was an off-speed pitch, which are harder to hit because of the speed change.
· Manager A.J. Hinch suspended for one year. Hinch was then fired by the Astros.
· GM Jeff Luhnow suspended for one year. Luhnow was then fired by the Astros.
· Former assistant GM Brandon Taubman suspended one year.
· Astros forfeit their first- and second- round draft picks the next two years.
· Astros fined $5 million, the maximum allowed under MLB‘s constitution.
– Alex Cora of the Red Sox has been fired
– Carlos Beltran of the Mets has been fired.
The Dodgers lost to both the Astros and Red Sox in the middle of this scandal.
The MLB has not decided what it is going to do with their world titles.
