Trey Gowdy Reveals Real Reason Democrats Impeached Trump
Impeaching President Trump makes no sense.
While Democrats control the House — and mostly stuck together to vote out two articles of impeachment against Trump — Republicans control the Senate. Twenty-two Republicans would have to break ranks and join all Democrats in the chamber to reach the two-thirds vote needed to remove the president from office, which ain’t gonna’ happen.
So then why impeach Trump in the House to begin with if it’s just going to sputter and fail in the Senate?
Former Rep. Trey Gowdy knows why — it’s to hurt incumbent senators in blue or purple states on Election Day 2020.
“Let’s skip over the process,” Gowdy said on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Thursday night. “The process, the three month long inquiry investigation was laughable. But they voted. That’s the House’s prerogative. They voted, not a single Republican went along with them. In fact, they didn’t even keep all the Democrats. But the House exercised its prerogative and they impeached the president.”
“There is no mathematical way he is ever going to be convicted and they know that,” Gowdy continued. “So their goal cannot be to remove Donald Trump from office, it is to neuter his second term. I think he is going to win in November. It’s to neuter that second term by targeting the [senators] Cory Gardners and the Martha McSallys and the Thom Tillises and the Susan Collins and Joni Ernstes, because if Trump wins and doesn’t have the Senate then he is not going to get any judicial vacancies filled and he’s not going to replace a Supreme Court Justice if he or she retires.”
Democrats have sought to obstruct Trump at every step, first conducting a two-and-a-half year probe into phony allegations that Trump and Russia colluded to alter the outcome of the 2016 election, and then on the even more absurd Ukraine investigation. Gowdy said that is all intended simply to block Trump in his second term.
“He is he not going to get the foreign policy he wants,” Gowdy said. “He is not going to get the Cabinet he wants. I never thought this was about removing Donald Trump because they’re not going to do it. It’s about putting Cory Gardner in a really tough series of votes so he has to defend them in November of this fall.”
