There were a few Republican members of Congress who were courageous enough to speak out against Trump’s incitement of rebellion on January 6, 2021. Included among those individuals were [Rep. Liz. Cheney of Wyoming, Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina, Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, of Washington, Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan, Rep. John Katko of New York, and Rep. David Valadao of California]. Their act of voting to express their outrage and disapproval of the party leader’s seemingly unacceptable criminal conduct was an act of great gallantry. Because in doing so they had to face many faithful and loyal party stalwarts. The great majority of those loyalists seemed to worship Trump as a God. The former president hated the fact that he was actually impeached twice, and up to this blessed day in The Year of our Lord. He has been unable to make any intellectual or moral connection between his own behavior, and the very serious consequences of two Impeachments.
Shortly after the January 6 violence at the Capitol. The majority leader of the senate (Mr. McConnell) and the minority leader of the House of Representatives (Mr. McCarthy) both laid the blame, squarely upon the shoulders of the former president, for the insurrection. Within days, however, after the impeachment, McConnell failed to vote to convict Mr. Trump and Mr. McCarthy went to Maralago to kiss Trump’s ass. In both scenarios, Christ was betrayed all over again. These leaders weren’t paid thirty pieces of silver as was Judas Iscariot. But they wallowed in the approval of the MAGA base. In whose eyes Trump can do no wrong. Desperate for the approbation of this group of Trump sycophants. The two Republican leaders willingly sacrificed every principle of decency and righteousness. But their conduct would later return to haunt them. “Never forget that you reap what you sow. If you are a traitor, traitors and rebels will surround you. If you are a loyal person loyal people will surround you. No matter how loyal you are, you will still have some traitors. Betrayal is a part of life. Jesus was a loyal friend and leader but He had Judas.” Dag Heward Mills
The first Impeachment of the 45th sitting president of the United States was the result of an extremely blatant case of government corruption.
Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, was impeached for the first time by the House of Representatives of the 116th United States Congress on December 18, 2019. The House adopted two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate acquitted Trump of these charges on February 5, 2020. Trump’s impeachment came after a formal House inquiry found that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election bid, and then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony. The inquiry reported that Trump withheld military aid and an invitation to the White House to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to influence Ukraine to announce an investigation into Trump’s political opponent Joe Biden and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election. A phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy on July 25, 2019, was particularly important—whistleblower Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was a participant in the call, and later informed Congress. [WIKIPEDIA The Free Encyclopedia: First Impeachment of Donald Trump].
Are Trump and his acolytes really that ignorant of the invisible moral order of the universe and also of our world? Have they learned nothing since their childhood formative years until now? Scripture clearly states “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.” Luke 12:2-3. (NKJV) These eternal principles are spiritual absolutes that cannot be altered or modified. For that very reason, all the news outlets such as Fox News and their owners are now in great financial peril. For having acted as vociferous echo chambers in trumpeting Trump’s lies of a stolen election. As a matter of fact, Trump’s close friend and presidential pardon recipient Bannon stated, “Days before the 2020 presidential election Donald Trump was planning to declare victory on election night, even if there was no evidence he was winning, according to a leaked Steve Bannon conversation recorded before the vote. In the audio, recorded three days before the election and published by Mother Jones on Wednesday, Bannon told a group of associates Trump already had a scheme in place for the 3 November vote.” [The Guardian: Game Over, Steve Bannon’s Audio Reveals Trump Planned To Claim Early Victory, By Adam Gabbatt and Hugo Lowell, July 14, 2022].
There were also other prominent players in Trump’s game of conspiracy, treachery, and lies.
- Stone is Trump’s longest serving political advisor, with a relationship dating back to the 1980s.
- In 2020, Trump pardoned Stone, who was serving a felony prison sentence for witness tampering and lying to Congress about his connections to Russia.
- Stone was a key intermediary between the White House and Proud Boys, a militia group that helped coordinate the January 6th Capitol attack.
- Roger Stone said Trump would claim victory whether or not he won the 2020 election.
“F*ck the voting. Let’s get right to the violence,” Stone said.
WHAT HAPPENED JANUARY 6TH AND WHY IT MATTERS: Who Is Roger Stone?
Stone and Bannon are not the only co-conspirators with Trump that have blood on their hands. There was a multitude of other bad actors. As we read in scripture, “One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses, the matter shall be established.” Deuteronomy 19:15. Based upon this principle which will no doubt be rigorously pursued by many journalists, historians, politicians, and prosecutors. Trump and his bedfellows in crime are doomed. What is absolutely amazing is that this clumsy coterie of bumbling buffoons actually thought that they could get away with this seemingly elaborate and outrageous scheme. To defraud the American people of the democracy, that many generations had lived, fought, and sacrificed their lives to win and preserve. Several eternal principles of divine truth will be clearly established once all of the dust has settled. After the nation has had the opportunity to dissect, examine, reminisce upon, and fully digest all that has transpired in this nation during the Trump era. Not least of which will be this piece of cogent truth, “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV).
