A spokesman for Trump announced that the White House would not be cooperating with the House impeachment inquiry, declaring that this illegitimate president is above the law. Is that true? Hell no!

If you believe in the Constitution you know this is bullshit. Contrary to politicians, the people make the laws; if not directly, they vote for the women and men who will vote for them in Washington. Our founding fathers showed great wisdom when they created three “separate but equal” branches of our government. Contrary to Trump’s beliefs, he is a public servant and not an autocrat. The truth is that because Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and the others had one primary goal; to ensure that America would never have a king, slightly more power was given to the Legislative Branch than the Executive or Judicial branches. The House and Senate are charged with protecting democracy in America.

There is one huge problem; his name is Moscow Mitch McConnell. Moscow Mitch has proven himself a traitor to the Constitution, and therefore to the American people.

If Trump refuses to cooperate by ordering potential witnesses not to testify, or other actions which would hide the truth, these actions in themselves are impeachable offenses and violations of the Constitution.

Trump is the “anti-American.” He does not respect the rule of law and definitely not the law of the land. If he continues to obstruct justice, he can be tried in absentia, and if convicted forcibly removed from the White House. The orange man could be placed in handcuffs and forced to spend time in jail. Oh God; “please make it so.” “Lock him up.”
