Day II of the House Managers’ argument took place today in the US Senate. Much of the argument was repetitive, but effective in laying out in further detail the facts of the case and how President Trump abused his powers. Tomorrow, they are likely going to lay out the case for the second charge of obstruction of Congress. The heart of this matter is what kind of precedent does this send if further, first-hand witnesses and other documents are not allowed into the record? And what kind of precedent will be set, if the Senate acquits from an argument of, “an abuse of power is not an impeachable offense?” The US Constitution as we know it will cease to exist. There will be virtually no remedy to keep a President in check. This country was founded on the idea that the individual is sovereign and that a monarchy is to be detested and rejected as a proper form of government. This is why there are three branches of government with the duty of each to keep the others in check. With what we know today, if the Senate acquits, their ability to check this President and future Presidents will have been greatly diminished.

The House Managers presented their opening argument today in front of the US Senate. They will have three 8-hours days to present their opening arguments if they so choose to use all of that time. Then following their arguments, the defense counsel for the President will likewise have three 8-hour days to make their arguments. Following this, it is expected that the Senators will have time to ask questions of the managers – not orally, but rather in writing. These questions will go through the Chief Justice, whom is presiding. There still remains several unknowns and the most important perhaps, pertains to the question of witnesses and documents, especially new witnesses and new documents. We would hope that the Senate takes this seriously and allows and demands a fair, open, and transparent trial. This would entail witnesses and documents. For months the Republicans have been arguing about process and how the Democrats have not brought forth “first-hand” fact witnesses. Now in the Senate, with the ability to call and subpoena new first-hand fact witnesses, thus far, they are not doing so. One cannot complain about not having first-hand witnesses and then turnaround and be an advocate for not calling first-hand witnesses to testify when one has the opportunity to do so. If there’s nothing to hide, then release the documents (White House, State, DoD, etc.) and have the first-hand witnesses come forth. If this information further shows the President abused his powers and obstructed Congress, then so be it – remove. And if the information shows that it exonerates the President of wrongdoing, then so be it – acquit. Let the truth be known, and may justice be served. This is all we are after and we are asking for the whole truth.
Another day, another Davos. Today the statement is that the “business-cycle,” is dead. This was made by Bob Prince, Co-CIO of Bridgewater, the world’s largest hedge fund, co-managed by founder, Ray Dalio. Recall, Dalio stated, that “cash is trash.” We do not believe that the business-cycle is dead. It has most definitely been manipulated with massive amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus. And yet despite all of this stimulus and money-printing, the global economy is barely growing. Hmmmm…can’t imagine why? (Major eye-roll). The business-cycle remains in tact and the “bust” phase of this cycle, not if, but when, it strikes, will likely be global in its reach and be as bad, if not worse than the Great Depression.

Day V of the public hearings in the impeachment inquiry have concluded and this is perhaps that last of the public hearings. This will be true of course, unless there is someone else who decides to step forward and testify. The individuals that The Kapital News would like to see testify are the following, VP Mike Pence, Sec of State, Mike Pompeo, Sec of Energy Rick Perry, Acting Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney, former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, and President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. These gentlemen would have firsthand knowledge of the true motivations for the hold that was placed on the Ukrainian foreign assistance and a visit to the White House for the new President of Ukraine. The Republicans have been arguing that there has been a lack of firsthand witnesses that have thus far testified. Well, here’s your list. Call on them to testify under oath! Of course the Republicans have not done so and the President has blocked them from testifying as well. If you have exculpatory evidence and witnesses who can exonerate you, then release everything so that people can know the truth.
The witnesses that testified today were Dr. Fiona Hill, a former Senior Aide to the White House on Russian and European Affairs and David Holmes, a Political Advisor for Ukrainian Affairs, stationed in Ukraine. Dr. Hill testified that John Bolton likened Rudy Giuliani to a “hand-grenade.” Meaning that all of his running around and meddling with foreign affairs, especially pertaining to Ukraine, at the direction of the President, was going to blow everybody up. And lo and behold – we find ourselves in the midst of an impeachment inquiry. Additionally, John Bolton likened another situation pertaining to Ukraine as a “drug deal” that was being run by Mick Mulvaney and Amb Gordon Sondland and that he, Bolton, wanted nothing to do with it. In fact, he instructed Dr. Hill, as she reported to Bolton, to not get involved and to inform the lawyers with the National Security Council that such a situation was unfolding. This was done for the obvious and logical reason to create a paper trail showing that Dr. Hill and Bolton were not involved with this matter and were concerned by its very existence.
What has transpired is clearly troubling and when we take all of our analysis together, it is quite evident that the President abused his powers by asking a foreign government to investigate a political rival. The President had the opportunity to direct the DoJ to look ino Burisma and the Bidens in 2017 and/or 2018, but he didn’t. He did so in 2019 when former VP Joe Biden just so happens to be running for President. And again, instead of directing the US DoJ, the President asks President Zelensky to do so. Of all the corruption that exists within Ukraine and all the corrupt companies, President Trump just so happens to mention Burisma, a firm with ties to the Bidens, and we’re supposed to believe this is just a coincidence? I suupose we’re just to trust Hillary Clinton when she says that all of those 33,000 deleted emails were just about yoga and her daughter’s wedding – yeah, didn’t think so.
All of this is troubling and all of this is disturbing. The question we now have to ask ourselves is does this rise to an impeachable offense and does this warrant the removal of a sitting US President? This is a serious question and I hope the process is about the truth and justice and not about politics and partisanship.

As the impeachment inquiry continues, we are now starting to see a release of the transcripts of those who have already testified. To date, we have four transcripts that have been released. These are extensive and are hundreds of pages each. Contained therein is further information as to what these individuals know and how it relates to the phone call between President Trump and President Zelensky of Ukraine, as well as events leading up to the call and events that have followed.
The Kapital News will do its best to make its way through these transcripts to find interesting bits of information that brings us to the truth. We are not concerned with who is implicated and who is exonerated. We are interested in the truth and in justice being served. The country is at a crossroads and the divisive tactics that are deployed, equally, by both parties, needs to end or it will be the end of our Republic.

So the Dems are not giving up and will continue to investigate and expand such investigations of President Trump on any matter under the sun. When will this end? In other news, we discuss some actions taken by central banks around the world and what that means for markets.
The Virginian soap opera continues and now the AG admits to “black face,” sexual misconduct goes further, and a governor who will not resign. Despite a SOTU of unity and a call for partisan investigations to stop – the Dems continue to investigate. Also, an update to the Mueller investigation.
