January 30, 2020 – And the impeachment continues
on.
I’ve
been tossing phrases at the television during live coverage that my Mom and Dad
used to say when I was a kid.
“What
has that got to do with the price of tea in china?”
“Yadda,
yadda, yadda.”
“Yawn,”
with arms stretched out and arching my back.
I
can say with some evidence, the only people enjoying this impeachment thing are
Political Science majors. YUP, that is
what I got my college degree in – Political Science. I’m actually interested in this – especially the
Trump side – because the language is what I used to listen to day in and day out
in my transcription headphones as a legal secretary.
As I
watch my husband’s eyes glaze over, I smile quietly to myself because I
actually know what Trump’s legal team is saying with their fancy legal
terminology and their conservative decorum.
Meanwhile,
I am embarrassed for the Democrats’ histrionics. I’ve never seen such, such - I can’t find the
words for it.
So,
there were 18 witnesses and there have been 17 transcripts released.
My
number one question is:
Why do House Democrats conceal the
testimony of Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community’s inspector general?
Obvious
to this layperson the answer is – because it has exculpatory evidence for
Trump, not against Trump. Many can ask
the question – what are they hiding?
Just
in case you haven’t learned what exculpatory means by now – evidence favorable
to the defendant – in this case Trump.
Seems
like, history repeats itself, - Bill Clinton, and possibly Donald Trump.
Now
to close for the day with a comment I heard last week about the Kobe Bryant
crash.
One newsperson
mentioned he’d spoken with Kobe Bryant about talent and the conversation had
gone something like:
Kobe
was talking about “talent” and Kobe said:
Work as if you have
none.
That
is fabulous inspiration for everyone.
