© Greg NashHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week announced that the House would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump following a whistleblower complaint charged that he pressed the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, one of his leading political rivals. This charge was confirmed by the release of the transcript from the phone call between the two leaders, and it was also revealed that Trump, before asking Ukraine to examine actions by Hunter Biden, reminded Zelensky that the United States sends security aid to Ukraine. When a president uses his power for his own political gain, at the expense of the public, it is the epitome of an impeachable offense. It has been confirmed that both the White House lawyers and the Justice Department worked to cover up the phone call, having the transcript moved to a highly secure system. “The transcript and the Justice Department’s acting in a “rogue fashion” in being complicit in the president’s lawlessness confirm the need for an impeachment inquiry,” Pelosi declared. From a political and practical standpoint, while these accusations against the president are indeed serious and disturbing, the Democrats will almost certainly not achieve their end goal of removing Trump from office, given the Republican Senate majority. With Trump already weakened in the polls, and the Democrats ahead on a number of key issues like health care and climate change, it is a profound error to focus the country on an impeachment inquiry, notably at a time when close to 60 percent of the American people are currently against impeaching the president.
