Crying Wolf on Impeachment “The impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump is coming down to one big question: Will Democrats, by crying wolf, drown out the more legitimate Republican cry of foul? ‘Foul’ has served as the GOP’s most powerful and honest argument from the first days of these impeachment maneuverings,” Kimberly Strassel writes in The Wall Street Journal. “Democrats broke every standard of due process, transparency and fairness in their House investigation, making a mockery of their constitutional duty.” “They hid the identity of the original accuser, denying Republicans and the country the ability to judge his motives.” “They held secret depositions, barring more than three-quarters of House members, as well as the press and the American public.” “They called 18 witnesses, but blocked the president from calling any in his defense.” “The White House legal team was excluded from the proceedings—prohibited from cross-examining witnesses, denied the ability to introduce any evidence that spoke to the central question of the president’s focus on Ukrainian corruption.” The kicker: In the end, “Democrats approved two articles of impeachment that failed to identify a crime.”
