Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Wednesday to recap another day of House Democrats playacting at their partisan, anti-Trump impeachment hearings.
“I think we learned that the Democrats are quite convinced they need to keep going with this Watergate cosplay in Washington,” Davis said. “We learned no new facts. We heard the same stuff we’ve heard over and over again. We saw the same playacting.”
Davis said the only thing he has learned from the House Intelligence Committee’s theater is how committed Democrats are to the farce of impeachment they have been pursuing for three years.
“That’s the central crime of Donald Trump’s presidency, is he had the audacity to beat Hillary Clinton when she was supposed to be ordained and coronated,” he said. “They said they were going to impeach him on day one. The day he was inaugurated they said, ‘Now impeachment begins.’”

This is literally true. Watergate has been the prototype for all of the major attempts to hobble Republican presidents since - Iran Contra affecting Reagan and HW Bush, W Bush's dismissal of US attorneys, Katrina, on and on. Feigned moral outrage, ominous headlines meant to drive down presidential approval ratings, suspiciously timed press releases etc.
After all, with Watergate the rats successfully reversed an election in which they were very badly beaten.
On the other hand everyone talks about Clinton's impeachment as if it were a great travesty of justice. I'm no legal expert but it seems that impeachment is unavoidable if a president perjures himself during his own sexual harassment deposition. Was that supposed to be ignored?
The term "cosplay" is a Japanese portmanteau of the English terms costume and play. The term was coined by Nobuyuki Takahashi of Studio Hard after he attended the 1984 World Science Fiction Convention ( Worldcon) in Los Angeles and saw costumed fans, which he later wrote about in an article for the Japanese magazine My Anime.

What has occurred in our government since 2014 makes Watergate look like a Sunday School picnic.
We will never again be truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist Income Tax Code and the IRS!

Yes. I believe the nation really is teetering on the brink right now.

There is ZERO doubt in my mind and our chance of survival as anything like the country we grew up in is somewhere around 5% IMHO.
