Donald Trump is now in Hanoi for another summit with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.
And rather than support that effort
to eliminate nuclear missiles aimed at U.S. cities, what do Democrats do?
They schedule a Congressional hearing of Trump's former lawyer, and already convicted tax evader and perjurer Michael Cohen, the very same day Trump arrives in Hanoi! We were promised by Dems this would be the smoking gun with documents galore proving Trump's secret collusion with the Russians, and documented checks and payments by Trump to Cohen proving his guilt.
But once again, it was like Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault, and there was
nothing there. It blew up in Democrats' faces.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) opened the hearings appealing Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) to delay the hearing for a week or so, in order to prevent it from overshadowing Trump's peace summit in Hanoi. Cummings refused. Jordan also pointed out that Cummings and other Democrats have been stumping based on the promise of that hearing, giving speeches telling constituents to write and request impeachment hearings. Again, this is a Soviet-style investigation, where there is no proof of Trump's guilt of anything, and rather than seeking evidence to either prove Trump's guilt or innocence, the Democrats' soviet approach is to begin with the presumption that Trump must be guilty of
something, and follow the Soviet approach of manufacturing the crime to conform to that preconceived guilt.
But even so, the Democrats looked stupid and hypocritical today. And nothing they hyped turned out to be proveable or believable. Cohen is still a liar, just like the last time he testified before Congress. And he's still going to jail.
And despite Democrats' best efforts to sabotage Trump, the spotlight will be on his Haoi summit tomorrow.
