We’re on a powder keg, President-elect Biden. Don’t light the fuse by impeaching President Trump.

Removing President Trump before Jan. 20 would tear the country apart and imperil the Union:

House Democrats are proceeding apace with their plans to impeach President Donald Trump before his term ends on Jan. 20 when Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, accusing Trump of inciting insurrection after the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 following the Save America Rally he spoke at challenging the outcome of the 2020 election. It will tear the country apart again, and President-elect Joe Biden can stop it with a single phone call. The single article of impeachment states the President “willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capitol.” The riot that followed sadly resulted in five deaths, including Capitol Hill police officer Brian D. Sicknick who died after sustaining injuries at the riot and Ashli Babbitt who was shot by a Capitol Hill police officer in the Capitol. But President Trump never incited anyone. In fact, he urged everyone to be peaceful at the rally: “We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” After the violence began, Trump on Twitter urged his followers to stop immediately: “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!” So, right off the bat, once again, House Democrats lack a real crime with which to prosecute President Trump for giving a speech that never urged violence and was most certainly covered by the First Amendment. What do you think?
