So many witnesses have testified and provided so much evidence in the House impeachment
inquiry that officials now say the process will not be completed by Christmas so the
Senate trial and vote to remove Trump - or not- will almost certainly spill into the
election year.
Welcome back to FrontPageLive.com, I’m Carl Cameron; It turns out Trump had a meeting
with the Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban and that’s how Ukraine-Gate got started
and why Trump on a call with Ukraine’s leader indicated he would release military aide to
Ukraine for a quote favor… that being the fabrication of smears against Joe Biden.
In the U.S. it has always been a crime for US politicians to seek favors from other governments.
In the first Constitutional Convention in 1787 delegates specifically said High Crimes
and misdemeanors include accepting money or anything of value from a foreign power.
The Founders rightly warned that a president could be compromised, corrupted, and blackmailed.
The head of the Federal Election Commission or FEC recently wrote “Let me make something
100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for
any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national
in connection with a U.S. election."
The directory goes on to say, "our Founding Fathers sounded the alarm about “foreign
interference, intrigue, and influence.
They knew that when a foreign government seeks influence in American politics, it is always
to advance their own interests, not America’s.”
As a side note the FEC is working shorthanded…the commission does not currently have a quorum
of 4 members so they can not rule on big looming issues like regulations, advisory opinions,
and audits and enforcement.
Another example of how Trump has been gutting various government agencies so he can bend
the rules without a lot of watch dogs around.
Don’t forget, Russia is still bombarding Facebook and other platforms with propaganda
designed to corrupt our elections, and now investigators say Iran has begun cyber attacks
on US viters too.
