"This is worse than McCarthy," Giuliani complained. Yeah, how dare anyone attempt to hold Emperor Trump accountable for his abuse of power, his obstruction of justice and his many unConstitutional actions!

In an essay for CNN, four historians who have researched every United States President note that "Trump's documentary record differs dramatically from his predecessors. A worrisome thread runs through each conversation. Trump appears laser-focused on his own fortunes to the exclusion of the national security of the United States. Unfortunately, this is part of a larger and startling pattern of Trump promoting his personal agenda ahead of the nation's interests." In conversations with Vladimir Putin, Malcolm Turnbull, Scott Morrison, Kim Jong-un, Volodymyr Zelensky, Enrique Peña Nieto and other world leaders, Donald Trump wants one thing only: Whatever will benefit Donald Trump. He's not trying to "make America great." He's trying to make himself great. Three hundred ninety-seven days till Election Day.

Trump's rage is building so rapidly, an apoplexy could be in his near future. His constant squawks of "Hoax!" and "Witch hunt!" and his non-stop attacks on Adam Schiff, Joe Biden, House Democrats, the whistleblower and others are not really bolstering his case that he's done nothing wrong.
Trump's private fury over impeachment spills into the public
CNN, Oct 2 2019 5:46 PM ET
When President Donald Trump erupted in rage during two appearances today, it foreshadowed a dark and unsettled impeachment season ahead. There was little strategy evident as Trump railed against Democrats and the media during public events with Finland's president. And there were few new answers that might help alleviate the situation he finds himself in after asking a foreign counterpart to investigate a political rival. "This is the greatest hoax. This is just a continuation of what's been playing out since my election," Trump said during an East Room press conference that became progressively more heated as Trump faced questions about his predicament. "This is a fraudulent crime on the American people."

We now know why Mike Pence is called "Vice President" – he aids and abets the President's many vices.

Attorney Mark Zaid, who represents the whistleblower, confirmed to CNN that no one from the House Intelligence Committee helped write the complaint. Emperor Trump, who never lets facts, truth and reality interfere with his delusions, believes otherwise. He wants "Shifty Schiff" arrested for treason. Committee spokesman Patrick Boland said the whistleblower did ask for "guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing" but nobody on the Committee assisted in the writing of the complaint or saw it in advance. Asking a committee for guidance in writing a report is a common practice in both parties.

The "propaganda" consists of notes and documents relating to now-debunked conspiracy theories involving Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, CrowdStrike, Ukraine and former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. They provide further evidence that Emperor Trump and Rudy Giuliani have been using the resources of the State Department to further Trump's political interests and discredit his opponents. Can you say "abuse of power"? I knew you could.

Emperor Trump falsely claimed the rough transcript of his phone call to Zelensky was a "word-for-word, comma-for-comma" account. It now appears much of the 30-minute conversation was not documented – unless they were speeeeakiiiing verrrry slowwwwly. The transcript also includes some ellipses: series of dots which may indicate parts of the call were omitted from the record. But, hey, Trump has nothing to hide. He keeps insisting the phone call was "perfect."

If Trump is impeached, 20 Senate Republicans would have to side with Democrats in order for the Senate to reach the two-thirds majority necessary to remove Trump from office. I can't envision even one Republican voting against Trump. The Republican party comes first. But being impeached will make Trump a branded man, so to speak. CNN's Stephen Collinson analyzes Trump's total tailspin into terminal testiness, terrible tantrums, temerarious taunting and toxic tweets:
Trump's foul mood leads him deeper into darkness
While current political conditions seem unlikely to lead to his ouster from office, Trump appears powerless to save himself from the historical scar of impeachment.
