Sen. Romney (R-UT) today stated, "It is not the legitimate role of government, for Congress or for taxpayer expense, to be used as an effort to damage political opponents." He said this about the current Senate investigation into Joe Biden and Ukraine. And that is literally what this is, as it was scheduled to occur during September and October, just before the election, with the "result" largely predetermined -- Republican leaders are already signaling how they are going to report this, despite the fact that the investigation is still going on. Even worse, in terms of the optics, one of the Senators, Ron Johnson (R-WI) actually came out in favor of the Obama Administration (Biden) actions with Ukraine at that time.
It reminded me how the Republicans had about the 10th investigation into Hillary and Benghazi at roughly this same time 4 years ago. First, you had committee chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) state, ""Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?" McCarthy had said. "But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee." After those comments, Sen. Hanna (R-NY) stated,
"Sometimes the biggest sin you can commit in D.C. is to tell the truth. This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton."
I'm sorry, you're listening to biased people claiming how Democrats only are fighting against Trump -- that they are attempting some type of "coup." What you are missing is, if you believe that, then you have to believe that Republicans already created a coup -- that Hillary Clinton should have been President the last four years. As Sen. Gowdy said, his committee hurt her poll numbers, as the investigation was designed to do. You futher had FBI members commenting on the Hillary email investigation, illegally, to the point that FBI director Comey had to make a statement saying he had reopened the investigation -- which also hurt Clinton in the polls.
I'm sorry, there has been no coup to remove the President. Yes, people don't like him, which he has brought on himself by being divisive, and he has done a lot of questionable things. I seem to recall you even like the way he has "trolled" the Democrats. As such, you have to expect that people are going to want investigations into the questionable things he's done, and that they aren't going to give him the benefit of the doubt when he actively tries to make himself disliked by his opposition. To me, your complaints come across as hypocritical.
