We
awoke this morning to be greeted by a prediction that this wretched
'presidency' will not survive the year. In a piece written by Shane
Croucher for NEWSWEEK published on msn.com,
"A
former Republican Congressman predicts that President Donald Trump
will leave the White House “soon” in a “spectacular political
crash-and-burn” set to take place during 2019.
John
LeBoutillier, who was a GOP representative in Trump’s home city of
New York back in the early 1980s, made his prediction in a column for
The Hill.
“Donald
J. Trump’s presidency will not survive 2019,” LeBoutillier wrote.
“The
downward trajectory of every aspect of his tenure indicates we are
headed for a spectacular political crash-and-burn — and fairly
soon.
“His increasingly erratic and angry behavior, his self-imposed isolation, his inability and refusal to listen to smart advisers that he hired, all are leading him to a precipice.”
There
are a number of threats to Trump’s turbulent presidency. The
largest of all is the investigation
by special counsel Robert Mueller
into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, won by
Trump.
Under
the spotlight is the Trump campaign and suspicions it colluded with
agents of the Russian state to undermine the election.
Several
of Trump’s advisers and allies are either ensnared by or in
the crosshairs of Mueller’s investigation, including Paul Manafort,
Trump’s former campaign chairman, and Michael Cohen, Trump’s
former personal attorney and fixer.
Manafort
faces spending the rest of his life in jail after his conviction for
fraud and admitting to acting as the unregistered agent of a foreign
government, namely Ukraine’s corrupt Yanukovych regime.
Cohen
was sentenced by a judge to three years in prison for fraud and
campaign finance violations relating to hush payments made to two
women accusing the president of extramarital affairs.
Though
he has not yet been indicted, political consultant and Trump
ally Roger Stone
is facing scrutiny for his relationship with WikiLeaks editor Julian
Assange, whose organization published emails stolen from the DNC by
Russian hackers.
"The
Mueller investigation will unveil evidence of Trump putting himself
out to the highest bidder in return for campaign help and financing:
Russians, Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris — there will be evidence that
millions of foreign dollars illegally flowed into the Trump campaign
coffers in 2016," LeBoutillier predicted.
"In
other words, Trump basically said, 'I’m for sale.'"
The
Trump presidency is also struggling to retain experienced
heavyweights in its most senior positions.
Two
of the most recent departures are White House Chief of Staff John
Kelly and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, whose resignation letter was
a rebuke of Trump’s policy.
Brookings,
a Washington D.C. think tank, is tracking turnover in the Trump
administration. As of December 14, 2018, Trump’s “A-Team” of
most senior positions had a 65 percent turnover rate." (1)
Let
us make this our New Year's Resolution. Disgustus must go, and
he must go soon, for with Elizabeth Warren's announcement that she is
running for president, the heat of the upcoming contest will soon be
upon us. The looming constitutional crisis will be supercharged
with partisan acrimony as it stands, for Disgustus will not go
quietly into his awaiting prison cell. For the nation to confront
this ugliness and it's accompanying political instability during the
red-hot heat of an election cycle wherein the ReSCUMlickan nominee is
under threat of impeachment and imprisonment poses a threat that this
nation has heretofore remained blessedly free.
If
the founder's did not envision the political remedy of impeachment
for this swine, what were these provisions intended to serve?
If not Disgustus, then who? If not for sedition, bribery,
racketeering, bank fraud, tax evasion, obstruction of justice, and "being Ye Publick Ass", then
what? The clock is ticking. We cannot wait much longer. The
time is here, the time is now.
"An
Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh"
Impeach
and Imprison.
