The Democrats in the House of Representatives recently voted unanimously to adopt the rules of public hearings for the trial of the US president in parliament, saying that Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency. Hearings in the House of Representatives will focus on evidence about Trump's abuse of power, this year, in relation to Ukraine.
The issue has so far been marked with certain clarity, and future sessions will reveal the president's behavior more deeply, before and after the conversation with the Ukrainian president. Critical questions include: How did the plot, which lasted almost a year, prosecute Joe Biden and his son, overseen by Trump's personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, who in turn tried to distort and undermine US policy towards Ukraine, an ally in an armed conflict with Russia? How were Trump's tactics harsh, ie how did he explicitly make US support for Ukraine conditional on Kiev's desire to help?
The White House has thrown the greatest number of obstacles to the investigation, and some current and former administration officials, who have been called to testify, have refused to do so.
First Lieutenant Alexander Fendman and others, who testified, described themselves as enthusiastic about the U.S. strategy in Ukraine, which preceded Trump, enjoyed bipartisan support, and the policy sought to boost Ukraine's economy and its military, on the grounds that it was vital to the safety of Europe and contain Russia. This noble goal could collapse because of Giuliani's machinations to influence the US election, which upset some of these officials, one of whom was reportedly former national security adviser John Bolton, who referred to this tactic as a "drug deal", now being asked to testify. .
Testimonies have so far shown how Trump and his aides manipulated support for Ukraine. Trump has linked the release of about $ 400 million in military assistance necessary for Ukraine's defense against Russia, with the commitment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky to pursue an investigation into the activities of Biden's son.
Trump seems to think that if he cries out enough and loudly, the Americans will believe him. If a populist propaganda machine does more to convince voters of the president's integrity, it may pose the greatest danger to Democrats as they publicly unarmed.
The story of Ukraine shows the violations of presidential power, which touch the pillar of US foreign policy in Europe. Understandably, Democrats in the House of Representatives think they should follow the constitution and consider impeachment. It's also a political gamble. Trump may not be a charismatic figure who maintains her popularity, even if the charges prove him, he rushes indifferently to shame. For the Democratic Party, the road to Election Day, a year from now, remains long and unsafe.
Trump shows how he can avoid being isolated, stay in office, and even win re-election, something that has never happened in American history. White House administration officials believe that two things should be revealed: Republicans remain united, and the economy strong through jobs and market revenues. The directions are strong on both fronts. Every Republican in the House of Representatives voted against the formal accountability measure, a powerful show of unity. In the Senate, there are very few public signs of a cracked party wall.
Sources close to the Republican leadership say they expect many Republican senators to eventually reach a point of discussion that Trump's actions were "inappropriate, but unwarranted."
