24 September 2019 is a day for the history books. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has authorized a formal impeachment inquiry into the President of the United States. This is not the Constitutional process of bringing forward articles of impeachment. For all intents and purposes this is a continuation of what the Democrats have been doing for the past few years – investigating President Trump. The difference today is that this carries additional political weight since this is coming from the Speaker of the House – 3rd in line to the Presidency. Mrs. Pelosi has been cautious over calls of impeachment since she regained her Speakership following the 2018 midterm elections. It appears that the catalyst for the change in attitude is the story surrounding President Trump, the President of Ukraine, VP Joe Biden and his son’s business venture in Ukraine, and a whistleblower. This is the stuff of spy novels and Hollywood production, but now it’s our reality. In response, President Trump has declared that the transcript(s) of the phone call in question between himself and the President of Ukraine will be released in their entirety. The question remains, what does “transcript” mean to President Trump? A true line by line of the conversation verbatim or a summary of the discussion? One would imagine that the President would only release the transcript if it would exonerate him of any wrongdoing. This could potentially result in one of the biggest missteps in political history being undertaken by the Democrats. Despite many stories from various media outlets claiming to have “solid” information pertaining to the whistleblower – let’s make this clear – nobody knows the full story. This is speculation and only furthers the divisiveness in our country. We need to wait for the facts of the case and act accordingly with the law, justice, and the truth our goal. Politically, this gives the President more cover to blame any economic and/or market downturn on the Democrats along with the Federal Reserve and China. He’ll simply claim that nothing can be accomplished because the Democrats have handcuffed his Administration – this will resonate with his base and those Americans who have grown investigation-weary. This process and the subsequent facts that will be disclosed over the coming days and weeks can prove to be explosive. The question is, who will be the one holding the dynamite when it goes off?
