Opinion in Brief

Gary Bauer: “Billionaire liberal activist Tom Steyer has launched a multi-million-dollar campaign demanding that Congress impeach President Trump. I saw the first ad on Fox News Thursday night, and found it ironic. Many of the things the ad mentions as impeachable offenses apply not to President Trump but to President Obama. One allegation made in the ad … is that Trump colluded with a foreign power, namely Russia. But as we are finding out, it’s looking more and more like Trump was just about the only person in the 2016 election not to collude with Russia. But if that is grounds for impeachment, then how does one describe the two years of secret negotiations Obama and Hillary Clinton conducted with America’s avowed enemy Iran? Those negotiations culminated in a deal that resulted in billions of dollars of cash and gold being loaded onto planes and sent under the cover of darkness to Tehran. That money is currently being used by the Iranian regime to threaten American soldiers and kill U.S. allies. The terrible deal was submitted to the United Nations and to the Iranian Parliament. But the Obama administration used every ounce of its political power to prevent it from ever getting an up or down vote in the U.S. Senate. That’s about as clear a case of collusion with an enemy that you can find.”
