Do we, as a people, still know right from wrong? Are we so blinded by politics that we refuse to see justice? Look at the impeachment proceedings -- and wonder.
A string of witnesses comes before Congress, testifying that money was dangled before the Ukrainians that they could only claim if they would come after Joe Biden, President Trump's political opponent. Now, the Ukrainians have been famous for corruption, and it would be a good thing to tell them to clean up their corruption across the board before they could have the money. But, to tell them you only have one case in mind, that you just want to zero in on a case that connects with your political opponent?
We, as a nation, cannot see that is wrong?
This string of witnesses, it does so seem to me that their testimony on the whole is every bit as persuasive as the testimonies that we have everyday in our criminal courts. You even have one witness, Gordon Sondland, who says he delivered the message to the Ukrainians. Isn't that somewhat like having the get-away driver testifying?
But, no, we don't believe them, these witnesses?
Or, is it that we don't think what he did was all that bad? Forgive, but, yes, withholding the money until the Ukrainians agree to go after your political opponent and dig up dirt on him is wrong. An ethical nation should recognize this.
