Of Course President Trump Is Being Lynched

President Donald Trump once again did the unthinkable: he hit back against the media and their political party, also known as the Democrats, over their contrived efforts to impeach him for the unforgivable sin of beating their chosen 2016 presidential candidate.
Impeachment is being pushed without authorization from the full House, as in, “The House of Representatives … shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.” The Constitution gives this power not to the speaker or the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, but to “The House,” meaning the entire House.
Sure, the House can change the rules. They could vote to make Joy Behar the speaker of the House, since the speaker does not have to be a member of Congress, but that would be a radical departure from precedent, just as the current impeachment process is.
How is the House pushing impeachment? Through a “secret” process rather than through a “due” process. Hearings are conveniently being held clandestinely, since, if the oxymoronic “House Intelligence” Committee holds hearings, everything can be covered under a blanket of “national security.” The accusers call witnesses while the defense can only watch, unable to take notes or call their own witnesses, subpoena documents, receive transcripts of the proceedings, or anything else normally afforded the defense under the due process of American jurisprudence.
How would one describe such a circus? How about using the word “lynch”? Cambridge Dictionary describes lynching: “If a crowd of people lynch someone who they believe is guilty of a crime, they kill them without a legal trial, usually by hanging.” By the way, lynching is a diverse process, applicable to anyone, regardless of skin color, sex, or any other characteristic. Supreme Court nominees Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, while of different skin colors, were both treated to Democrat lynchings.
The hanging bit might be a bit over the top, as Democrats don’t really want to hang President Trump. Or do they? Bette Midler, a good stand in for Joy Behar for the speaker job, wants to hang not only Trump, but also his family, “good and high.” So does some tolerant California State University professor who believes that “Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better.”
The Legal Dictionary defines lynching as “[v]iolent punishment or execution, without due process, for real or alleged crimes.” That certainly describes the House approach — no due process and only alleged crimes.
The president understands this better than anyone, as he is the one being led to the gallows. As he is prone to do, he took to Twitter with this response: “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here — a lynching. But we will WIN!”
