Lewis Should Name the High Crimes and Misdemeanors or Shut Up About Impeachment.

CNN's Token Republican Matt Lewis, in an article on the left wing site, "The Daily Beast ", said John Bolton should either come out publicly and tell us(at the impeachment trial) what Trump did wrong, or "shut up", about the Ukraine.

Well, along those lines I would propose that Lewis, name the High Crimes and Misdemeanors committed by President Trump or shut up.

Lewis and the other lefties at CNN have searched in vain for a justification to impeach the President. First, Lewis tried the magic words, "quid pro quo", then he tried, "bribery", and "extortion." Lewis was probably willing to cite the Logan Act, the Emoluments clause, the Boland Amendment, the Volstead Act, or anything else he thought might work.

However, House Democrats realized those charges wouldn't wash long before Lewis went to the internet to find out the meaning of "quid pro quo", and so they came up with two articles, "obstruction of Congress", and "Abuse of power." Neither are tied to any crimes.

The Constitution states:

"shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Lewis, or anyone else at CNN for that matter, have ever given an example of such crimes that the Constitution requires for impeachment. My guess is that Lewis has read the Constitution and knows there is no case. But he, like House Democrats, want to create a political circus in the hope of damaging the President in an election year.

What reasons does Lewis give for John Bolton testifying? He claims that Bolton “would help shed light on a scandal that has loomed over our politics for five months.”

This is funny. The scandal was purely manufactured by House Democrats, and their lackeys in the media. Before the transcript of the President's call with Zalensky was released by Trump, Democrats were lying about what the President even said. For example the President never mentioned the 2020 election.

And they found a "whistleblower", who was not really a whistleblower. He had no first hand knowledge of anything. The folks at CNN don't even mention him anymore.

Lewis also claims that Bolton was “aware of some nefarious things.” The requirement is High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Not "nefarious things."

The senate should summarily dismiss the two articles for lack of an actual crime, which the constitution requires.
