Thanks to Michael Cohen guilty plea, midterms are now a national referendum on impeachment
By Thomas Lifson
The Trump-haters’ project to unseat a duly elected President of the United States now has a specific (and phony) “high crime and misdemeanor†on which to launch impeachment. An impeachment vote is all but certain if Democrats succeed in capturing a majority in the House of Representatives.
As Steve McCann points out, Michael Cohen’s guilty plea contained specific language that has acted as chum, driving Trump-haters into an impeachment frenzy:
Within the language describing the campaign law violations was the following:
…in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for public office.
While Donald Trump was not named, there was little doubt that the reference was to the payments made by Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall on Trump’s behalf.
Within a matter of minutes, the always vigilant mainstream media began immediately calling Trump a criminal and beating the drums for impeachment. The justification: if Cohen was guilty of breaking the law so, therefore, was Donald Trump.
