As the Senate impeachment trial comes to a close with the results heavily favoring President Donald Trump, it appears that Trump is not through with a number of people. Recent reports suggest that the President is looking to retaliate.
Trump is expected to be acquitted for the charges pressed against him by the House for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. While that may be a good thing for the President and the other politicians who support him, it may prove otherwise for those who do not, especially towards fellow Republicans who voted to impeach. The President is reportedly making a list of his enemies, and the Republicans who can predict what he may do next believe that he is out for revenge. The list also happens to be growing every day, according to those who are closely briefed on Trump.
Among those names are naturally Lead Impeachment Manager Representative Adam Schiff, as well as senator Mitt Romney, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who is thought to be at the very top of the list. Bolton’s revelations in the leaked manuscript of his memoir shed more light on the Ukraine scandal. This revelation somewhat pressured the Republican senators to call for witnesses, including Bolton himself, despite many attempts to prevent it. Bolton revealed that Trump allegedly told him that he was going to withhold aid to Ukraine until they announce investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
Former Office of Government Ethics director Walter Shaub tweeted that Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell has not yet held the final vote “to launch the post-checks and balances era, and already the would-be authoritarian is escalating his abuses of power.”
As a result of the Senate’s assumed decision to acquit Trump, the public will be staging protests across the country, condemning the Senate GOP’s decision. Common Cause president Karen Hobert Flynn, expressed that the public does not accept this attempt to cover up Trump’s abuse of power as president. “We will make our voices heard in protests Wednesday and on election day.”
