ASHINGTON, D.C. — Responding to the growing impeachment inquiry, constitutional scholars and top Republicans argued Wednesday that the House should not move forward until Donald Trump has completely ruined the United States.
“The Democrats are moving recklessly fast with this impeachment inquiry,” Republican-selected law professor Jonathan Turley testified in front of Congress, “and I’m afraid that if they succeed in removing President Trump so quickly, America won’t be too crippled to rise again from the ashes of this administration.”
Turley added that it would be unfair to impeach Trump until the House could produce a clear evidentiary record that he had started a ground war in China and sparked a second Great Depression.
“Without ironclad evidence showing Trump literally shredding the Constitution on Vladimir Putin’s orders, we can only give him the benefit of the doubt and watch him engage in ever-greater corruption and abuses of power,” Turley said. “I don’t like it any more than you do, but there’s simply nothing that we can do until the very memory of our country’s existence is wiped from this Earth.”
Congressional Republicans also spoke up in support of the president strip-mining the United States for the sake of his own personal benefit until nothing remains but a barren wasteland.
“This impeachment is all about reversing the 2016 election, when the American people sent a clear message: Let’s burn this whole place to the ground,” said Rep Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). “We’re almost three years in now, and the president has done nothing but deliver on his promises. The Democrats are only doing this because they don’t want to let him finish the job.”
