It has been said that French army tanks in WWII had four gears in reverse for varying speeds of retreat, and one gear forward on the off chance they’re attacked from the rear.

Right now, congressional democrats are backing up faster than a French tank battalion.

A week ago, Nancy Pelosi said that there is no plan, at this time, to hold an impeachment vote in the house. There is one reason why, after three years, they wouldn’t hold such a vote…they just don’t have anywhere near the needed numbers. Let’s face it, such a vote would be the fourth, and the previous three failed miserably.

Adam Schiff, just over a week ago, actually floated the idea that there may not be any need to have the “whistleblower” testify before congress.

Now why do you suppose that is? I’ll tell you why…

it’s either because there is no actual “whistleblower” or because Schiff can’t find anyone willing to pose as the “whistleblower.” On the same off chance of a French tank battalion being attacked from the rear, that there is a “whistleblower,” Schiff knows that if the unnamed person were to testify truthfully under oath, the coup attempt would turn to dust, and blow away as did the whole “Russian collusion” and “Mueller Report” coup attempts.

But to truly understand the nature of the democrat retreat, one first has to have a good understanding of the mess they have created for themselves.

It’s all about that phone call…right? The one where President Trump supposedly demanded quid pro quo…if the Ukraine government would investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter, we would provide money for military aid. The democrats, and their propaganda arm, the mainstream media insist that was the case…but here’s the truth that the mainstream media won’t tell you, and that congressional democrats fear so much that they don’t dare hold a vote on impeachment.

First, let’s have a look at the allegation against President Trump that he demanded an investigation into a political rival for political purposes. Congressional democrats and their partners in corruption in the mainstream media continue to put forth that this is some sort of treason…but what is it that they don’t want you to know?

How about this…back in May, 2018, congressional democrats, three of them, Dicky Durbin, Bob Menendez, and Patrick Leahy wrote a letter to the Ukrainian government urging that Ukraine continue to investigate President Trump for supposed collusion with Russia related to the 2016 campaign…collusion that they, the congressional democrats knew very well never took place, and was later proven by the Mueller report to have never taken place. This would undoubtedly come to the surface were the House democrats to schedule an impeachment vote, or were Schiff to call forth the “whistleblower” as a witness…and the democrats cannot afford having that bit of truth float into the light of day.

Pelosi claims that the President asking for such an investigation is impeachment-worthy, even without the supposed quid pro quo…which would mean that the congressional democrat’s asking for an investigation of the President would be equally as unlawful…see why they can’t let this come to the attention of the public?

Next, allow me to deal with the next false allegation by congressional democrats where this whole impeachment nonsense is concerned, that being the fabricated quid pro quo. Supposedly, at least according to congressional liberals and their propaganda machine, the mainstream media, President Trump used aid money to Ukraine to force Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden in that now infamous phone call…but did he? The answer is a resounding…no. In fact, the transcript of the call…the official record…shows something quite different.

According to the democrats and the mainstream media, President Trump asked Ukraine’s President Zelensky for a “favor” and to reopen the investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden. According to the transcript however, this is what President Trump actually said: “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike…I guess you have one of your wealthy people…the server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

Do you see the name Biden in there anywhere? Joe? Hunter” I sure don’t, but what I do see, and what both the congressional democrats and their lapdog media see is the name, “Crowdstrike.” They know full-well that President Trump isn’t asking for a favor that has anything to do with the Bidens…he was asking for a corruption probe dealing with Hillary Clinton’s server and emails that apparently has ties to Ukraine.

Do you see any mention of quid pro quo there? No? Me either, and there’s a good reason for that. It never happened. In fact, the delay in sending aid to Ukraine was lifted two days BEFORE that phone call, and the democrats, as well as the mainstream media are also well-aware of that fact.

President Trump only mentioned Biden and his son AFTER President Zelensky reminded Trump of OTHER investigations, and that mere mention was in regard to Biden issuing his own, very real quid pro quo to Ukraine as Vice President…something which Joe bragged about on video…and President Trump’s concern there was clearly dealing with corruption within Ukrainian officials at that time.

But that’s not the only reason that the democrats are in reverse on the whole impeachment thing right now…there is also the Biden debacle. Sure, we all know by now about Hunter Biden, and his Ukrainian ties, getting paid $50,000 per month to sit on a Ukrainian power company board and Joe getting the Ukrainian investigation into that company shut down with a threat to withhold loan guarantees from Ukraine…but here’s what you may not have heard about because the mainstream media has refused to talk about it, and congressional democrats know if they press forward with an impeachment vote, this will also float to the surface.

Hunter Biden apparently wasn’t the only Biden reaping financial benefit from Ukraine back in the day. So too was Joe.

The company Hunter Biden was connected to due to trading on the Biden name, and his father’s VP office, was Burisma…and now we learn that Joe Biden was paid as a consultant to Burisma. Being a consultant in the manner that Joe was connected, is a fancy title for what he really was…a lobbyist.

Apparently, funds in the staggering amount of $900,000 were moved from the Burisma Group to Rosemont Seneca Partners. That’s the firm started up by Hunter Biden and John Kerry’s step son, Chris Heinz. Well, according to reports, that $900.000 lobbying fee that was moved from Burisma, to Rosemont Seneca ended up in Joe Biden’s pocket. That’s a bombshell, and let’s not forget that Joe has said publicly that he never discussed Hunter’s dealing with Burisma with his son…which is hard to believe given two important things…Hunter Biden says he did discuss Bursima business with his dad, and his dad was a paid lobbyist for Burisma.

So…who exactly is making this allegation regarding Joe Biden? Is it some right-wing organization? Is it some conspiracy theory blogger? Is it President Trump?

None of the above. In fact, the person holding those cards is Andriy Derkach, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, who says he actually has in his possession, the documents that prove that a $900,000 fee for lobbying was paid to Joe Biden via Burisma, using Rosemont Seneca as the go-between.

Here’s the pressing questions…is any of what Joe and Hunter Biden did illegal? Probably not. While it is illegal for office holders to be paid money from a foreign government, it is not illegal for them to be paid by a foreign private company…and if you’ve got in place a money laundermat to further wash and rinse the transactions before they collect lint in your pocket…have at it, but Is it highly unethical? Absolutely. In fact, concerns about it were raised as far back as 2015 by then State Department official, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, who told congressional democrats last week, behind closed doors, “Regardless of whether anything is wrong, it looks terrible.”

And why does it look terrible?

Because, as it turns out for congressional democrats, and for the mainstream media shills for the democrat party, Joe and Hunter Biden were the ones involved in corruption with the former government of Ukraine…they were the ones involved in actual quid pro quo, and they were the ones reaping both financial and political gain from it all…not President Trump…and the democrats are basically trying to impeach President Trump for what they themselves, and the Bidens actually did.

This is why Schiff is floating the notion of not having the probably fabricated “whistleblower” testify, and it is also why Pelosi doesn’t want to hold any formal impeachment vote. If they were to officially press forward, all of this, and more would come to the forefront, and expose the democrat party as the true party of corruption leading into the heat of the 2020 presidential election.

This is also why the congressional democrats have shut the Republicans, and the American public out of recent hearings. According to Texas Republican, Michael McCaul, the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee “The minority has been shut out of the process. It is being done in a … classified briefing room behind closed doors when it should be in front of the American people so that all can see in a very transparent way the testimony of these witnesses.”

If Republicans are removed from the process, and it’s all done behind closed doors, which allows congressional democrats to selectively leak, out of context only what they want from those hearings, and it allows their propaganda arm, the mainstream media to spin an even larger fabricated web of deceit to foist onto the American people.

Here’s the bottom line…congressional democrats have nothing on which to impeach President Trump, and the mainstream media is fully aware of that fact, so collectively, their only hope is to continue to gaslight their voting base into believing there’s a there, there with a combination of chicanery, deceit and fabricated shenanigans for as long as possible, because they know that while they can somewhat hide the truth in the House, they will be completely exposed if the attempted coup ever reaches the Senate.

The great impeachment debacle is in full swing, and sadly, for elected democrats, people are noticing that their French army tanks are performing exactly as designed.
