Civil War Anyone?
Rather than restating what you all have heard on the news, I will give you the Cliff Notes. Bill Taylor testified on October 22nd, 2019 to the impeachment inquiry committee. He directly tied Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State and through him William Barr, the Attorney General to this criminal endeavor led by the President, Donald J. Trump. Barr had received several official criminal referrals but decided that none of them deserved to be looked into. It may have been just setting up a scapegoat, but the President somewhat threw Mike Pence under the bus by suggesting that maybe he should release the transcripts of his call. At the very least, Pence was aware of the subterfuge and maybe an active participant. During hurricane Dorian, Trump sent Pence in his place to tell President Volodymyr Zelenskiy what was expected of him. So at that point Pence became part of this sordid mess if he wasn’t already.
If you don’t have Pence to take over the Presidency if Trump is impeached, who is next in the order of succession? If your guess was Speaker of House, Nancy Pelosi, you would be right. If you think the Republicans are squealing like stuck pigs now, just wait until somebody figures out that the impeachment led by Nancy Pelosi will eventually put her in the Oval Office. That might be the one thing that would convince the Trump squad to take up arms against their fellow Americans.
