Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, THIS IMPEACHMENT NONSENSE IS NOT GOING WELL FOR THE FECTLESS DEMS. - SO SAYS NOT ONE BUT TWO RECENT POLLS.
The USA TODAY/Suffolk poll showing only 36% of Americans want Trump impeached and removed from office. Suffolk is the second survey in recent days showing a considerable number of Americans are against impeaching President Trump.
According to an NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll published on Friday (a second poll), Americans are split down party lines on whether to oust the president. Forty-nine percent believe he should be impeached and removed from office, 49 percent oppose the move.
Last month, House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry against President Trump over his July 25th telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing the president of attempting to pressure his counterpart to probe allegations of corruption against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Both world leaders have denied the charges and the White House has released a transcript of the call to show no wrongdoing occurred.
Under pressure from House Republicans and moderate Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday that Congress will vote to formalize their impeachment inquiry. The move is expected to put an end to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) conducting closed-door interviews with current and former Trump administration officials inside Capitol Hill’s SCIF room, a compartmented facility for sensitive information. House Republicans have accused Schiff of using the secret room to selectively leak excerpts of witnesses’ testimony to the media to boost public opinion for impeachment.
