This is an excerpt from an amazingly clear and articulate letter that Trump wrote to Pelosi. Unfortunately, thanks to the media’s anti-American bias, most Americans won’t ever be presented with such a clear explanation of the facts.
I write to express my strongest and most powerful protest against the partisan impeachment crusade being pursued by the Democrats in the House of Representatives … The Articles of Impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee are not recognizable under any standard of Constitutional theory, interpretation, or jurisprudence. They include not crimes, not misdemeanors, and no offenses whatsoever … By proceeding with your invalid impeachment, you are violating your oaths of office, you are breaking your allegiance to the Constitution, and you are declaring open war on American Democracy …
Your first claim, “Abuse of Power,” is a completely disingenuous, meritless, and baseless invention of your imagination … Every time I talk with a foreign leader, I put Americans’ interest first, just as I did with President Zelensky … You know full well that Vice President Biden used his office and $1 billion dollars of U.S. aid money to coerce Ukraine …
The second claim, “Obstruction of Congress,” is preposterous and dangerous. House Democrats are trying to impeach the duly elected President of the United States for asserting Constitutionally based privileges that have been asserted on a bipartisan basis by administration of both political parties throughout our Nation’s history. Under that standard, every American president would have been impeached many times over …
After three years of unfair and unwarranted investigations, 45 million dollars spent, 18 angry Democrat prosecutors, the entire force of the FBI, headed by leadership now proven to be totally incompetent and corrupt, you have found NOTHING! Few people in high position could have endured or passed this test … Any member of Congress who votes in support of impeachment—against every shred of truth, fact, evidence, and legal principle—is showing how deeply they revile the voters and how truly they detest American’s Constitutional order …
Worse still, I have been deprived of basic Constitutional Due Process from the beginning of this impeachment scam right up until the present. I have been denied the most fundamental rights afforded by the Constitution, including the right to present evidence, to have my own counsel present, to confront accusers, and to call and cross-examine witnesses, like the so-called whistle blower who started this entire hoax with a false report of the phone call that bears no relationship to the actual phone call that was made …
More due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials … This is nothing more than an illegal, partisan attempted coup.
