Red China’s infection of American classrooms
Red China’s infection of American classrooms
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2019
Dangerous menaces are spreading from mainland China to the United States. Surgical masks and Big Pharma vaccines, however, won’t protect this nation from its infiltration. The problem doesn’t lie with bats. It lies with America’s batty pursuit of globalization at all costs.
Chinese Communist Party agents are using our suicidal pathologies — blind worship of “diversity,” naive exaltation of “cultural exchange” programs, and reckless surrender of our education system — against us for economic espionage, intellectual property theft and world dominance. While Beltway blowhards rail against foreign interference in our elections, Beijing’s hijacking of our classrooms ensues with hardly a peep of political resistance.
On Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston announced that the chairman of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department, along with two Chinese nationals, have been “charged in connection with aiding the People’s Republic of China.” Acclaimed Harvard chemist and nanoscientist, Dr. Charles Lieber, had served as a “strategic scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology for the past nine years and is accused of lying about his role as a “contractual participant” of China’s infamous Thousand Talents Plan.
Last fall, after years of intel warnings, a bipartisan Senate committee blew the whistle on TTP’s systematic recruitment of an estimated 7,000 academics who have agreed to “transmit the knowledge and research they gain here to China in exchange for salaries, research funding, lab space, and other incentives.” Lieber reportedly received $50,000 a month plus living expenses and more than $1.5 million for a Chinese research lab, all while soaking up $15 million in federal grants from the National Institutes of Health and Defense Department.
It is unknown how many Chinese nationals worked in either Lieber’s America-based or China-based labs. But the two Chinese nationals charged with Lieber were cancer researcher Zaosong Zheng, 29, whom Harvard sponsored on a J-1 work-study exchange visa and Yanqing Ye, 29, whom Boston University sponsored on a J-1. Prosecutors allege Ye is a CCP member and top military lieutenant. Zheng is accused of attempting to smuggle “21 vials of biological research” aboard a flight destined for China.
Those are just a few who got caught. In 2018-2019, China sent the most international students from around the world (369,548 out of nearly 1.1 million) to study in U.S. institutions. More than 71,000 Chinese students headed to Massachusetts; 6,222 of them embedded at Harvard and 10,598 of them enrolled at Boston University. Those figures don’t include their spouses and children, who are also welcomed through their own special visa programs. (And the national security risks of the untold tens of thousands of Chinese nationals on the H-1B tech worker visa is a whole ‘nuther story.)
China has cunningly exploited America’s alphabet soup of temporary visa programs, which are overwhelmed by out-of-control mass migration and are operated by open borders ideologues who put the alleged economic benefits of admitting 1 million international students into the country every year over the national security risks. Top administrators at Harvard and other prestigious universities have continually denounced the Trump administration for increasing vetting of foreign student visas and inconveniencing their wealthy clientele.
But mum’s the word on the treachery taking place under the guise of “cultural” enrichment:
–Last July, the FBI indicted Chinese F-1 student visa beneficiary Weiyun “Kelly” Huang in an alleged visa fraud scheme that allowed more than 2,500 Chinese foreign students on F-1 — including a purported spy for the Chinese government — to extend their stays by claiming employment with a phony internet front she created. The ruse allowed the scammers to take advantage of the uncapped Optional Practical Training program allowing F-1s to stay an extra three years to work. Ji Chaoqun, an F-1 who received a master’s degree in electrical engineering in 2015 from an unspecified U.S. university, paid for Huang’s services and was arrested in 2018 for alleged spying and recruitment of academics and engineers under the direction of the People’s Republic of China.
–In September, the FBI arrested Chinese national Zhongsan Liu in New Jersey for operating a fraudulent J-1 visa racket that imported PRC operatives to staff a New York front group recruiting scientists, academics and engineers to work in China. Liu targeted seven American universities for the scheme, including the University of Massachusetts Boston.
–Just last week, the University of Missouri at Columbia announced it was terminating its partnership with a Chinese government-funded language and cultural program called the Confucius Institute amid widespread national security concerns. The Institute’s teachers were pouring into local K-12 schools through the J-1 visa program unsupervised. The U.S. Government Accountability Office identified more than 500 “Confucius Institutes” worldwide, with 96 located at colleges and universities in the United States as of December 2018 — the vast majority of them publicly funded institutions. A PRC propaganda outfit called Hanban has provided funding ranging from $900,000 to $1.7 million for “model” Confucius Institutes.
While several universities have closed their programs, several Chinese language charter schools and entire school districts, including K-12 public schools in Broward County, Florida, Houston and Seattle, operate “Confucius Classrooms” approved and co-operated with the Chinese government.

Can’t Make This Up… New York State Is Now Mandating “Stargazing Permits” For Looking At The Sky
Imagine this: You’re out with your family in one of the parks in New York state where you can actually see the stars when it gets dark. You look up in the sky, see a constellation, and you point upwards to show your kids. Along comes a park ranger demanding to see your Stargazing Permit, and issues you a citation because you didn’t know you needed such a permit.
That’s right, the state of New York is now demanding us peasants give them money so we can look up at the sky.
Unsurprisingly, the only two regimes to ever regulated stargazing have been the inquisition and @NYGovCuomo
— Sal the Agorist (@SallyMayweather) January 22, 2020
This is totally a real thing, as it shows up on the state’s permitting for “Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation” schedule:
STARGAZING PERMIT
Requirements:
Fee of $35.00, $60-Out of State –Vehicle Registration and Driver’s License Required
- Permit allows after sunset parking for stargazing only,valid January 1 -December 31at:
- Hither Hills -Except July & August
- Jones Beach -West End 2 and Field 6
- Montauk Point –Upper Parking Lot
- Robert Moses -Field 2
- Gov. Alfred E. Smith/Sunken Meadow -Field1 & Field 3
- Wildwood –Main Parking Lot
Sold at:Babylon Headquarters-Permit Office (beginning January 2nd), Jones Beach, Montauk Downs, Robert Moses, Governor Alfred E. Smith/Sunken Meadow and Wildwood
StargazingPermits are only sold January 1 –March 31 and the Tuesday after Labor Day -December 31.
They also make you buy a permit if you want to dive into the water. It’s the “regional diving permit” and it costs $80 for in-state residents and $125 for out-of-state. Want to run your metal detector over the dirt? Fork over $40, you peon, or end up in jail!
Even Neil deGrasse Tyson chimed in:
No. Back in the day, you didn’t need permission to look up at the sky.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) January 22, 2020
Others are defending the permit in the thread, claiming that it allows people to enter the “closed parks” after hours. But they are clearly missing the point. If you can enter the park with a permit, then it’s not “closed” at all. It’s opened to anyone willing to be extorted or who can afford it. Those who are unable to pay the government or choose not to do so for the exact same activity will be arrested and or further extorted.
Now for the irony and blatant statist hypocrisy. If you want to go after dark to look at stars on state land that you paid for through your tax dollars, you have to pay the government more money for a permit. However, if the government wants to take the most sacred land in the state and put a telescope on it to look at the stars, this is fine and dandy. If you try to protest the government’s construction of star gazing equipment on your sacred land, you can and will be kidnapped and caged.
Case in point: Mauna Kea’s summit is the most sacred of all the mountains in Hawaii to many of the indigenous people. In July, when those people showed up to protest the desecration of their land with the Thirty-Meter Telescope, dozens were arrested.
The libertarian anarchists are having a field day with this.
Lefties: Voter ID is racist! You can’t require ID to do that!
Me: I’d like to look at the sky.
Lefties: You’ll need a permit for that. State-issued ID required to obtain said permit.
— Deus Galt (@colovion) January 22, 2020
If it pleases the crown, may this serif please lift his head to look up at the sky.
— Debate Colin (@Man_Andres_) January 22, 2020
Lol, soon we will need breathing permits
— steven surizon (@StevenSurizon) January 22, 2020
You’re not far off – the whole set of US and State Supreme court cases affirming rights to film police was due to officer Ralph Goar accosting an insomniac nighttime birdwatcher, in the act of – birdwatching – and charging him w/ felony wiretapping for recording the accostation.
— Dan Quixoté (@DanQuixot1) January 22, 2020
Wanna look at the sky from this particular patch of dirt? Pay up. Better get your permits early, nature closes at 11 and if you don’t have this slip, we’ll give you another one that costs even more.
— CrystalClearGameStudios (@CrystalClearGa2) January 23, 2020
So what happens when an illegal alien wants to look up at the sky, and can’t get the permit because he doesn’t have proper ID? ACLU would no doubt sue the state for millions, and the taxpayers would be on the hook for it.

Prince Charles Flew 16K Miles In Just 11 Days Using 3 Private Jets Before Posing With Greta Thunberg, Lecturing World About Climate Change…
Well done, Prince Charles.
Via Daily Mail:
Prince Charles was last night facing embarrassment after taking a series of private jet flights while lecturing world leaders about climate change.
On a trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, the Prince met activist Greta Thunberg and used an electric Jaguar car to travel to the Swiss resort.
But the MoS can reveal that in the 11 days before his high-profile appearance, Charles took three flights on private jets for official Government business and one on a helicopter.
After his speech last Wednesday, during which he urged world leaders to take ‘bold and imaginative action’ on the environment, he took a fourth jet to Israel for an official trip.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Anti-Trump CIA ‘Whistleblower’ in Ukraine Hoax Was the Leaker in the Russia Hoax!… And Much, Much More!
The leaker in the Ukraine Hoax is also a key contributor to the Russia Hoax. His treasonous actions began after he worked with the Bidens in the Ukraine during the Obama Administration.
Last night on The Ingraham Angle on FOX News, Laura Ingraham invited Sara Carter and author Lee Smith on to discuss the individual who was instrumental in setting up President Trump in the Russia and Ukraine Hoaxes:
Via The Ingraham Angle:
The Gateway Pundit reported the following about the suspected ‘whistleblower’ months ago:
Everybody knows who Eric Ciaramella is. He’s the star of Rep. Adam Schiff’s impeachment sham. Ciaramella was outed more than a month ago as the individual who is known as the ‘whistleblower’.
On October 11th we knew the following about Eric Ciaramella –
1. He is dishonest – He made a claim that was false and is working with the most dishonest person in US political history, Adam Schiff. You are who you run with.
2. He is anti- Trump – He must be. The man must hate the President so much in order to make false claims about the President and risk his own name in the process. He must seethe with rage when thinking about President Trump. Unfortunately his rage got the best of him. He must have worked for Obama.
3. He worked or works for the CIA – In a series of posts we have reported and the media as a whole has reported that the so-called ‘whistleblower’ is a current or former employee of the CIA.
4. He worked in the White House – This snitch reportedly had a position in the White House.
5. He has connections with a 2020 Presidential campaign – We heard this a few days ago.
6. He worked with Biden when Biden was a VP – We reported this last night.
The Washington Examiner reported:
The 2020 Democratic candidate with whom the CIA whistleblower had a “professional” tie is Joe Biden, according to intelligence officers and former White House officials.
Lawyers for the whistleblower said he had worked only “in the executive branch.” The Washington Examiner has established that he is a career CIA analyst who was detailed to the National Security Council at the White House and has since left. On Sept. 26, the New York Times reported that he was a CIA officer. On Oct. 4, the newspaper added that he “was detailed to the National Security Council at one point.”
Michael Atkinson, the Intelligence Community’s inspector general, told members of Congress that the whistleblower had a “professional tie” to a 2020 Democratic candidate. He had written earlier that while the whistleblower’s complaint was credible, he had shown “some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate.”
A retired CIA officer told the Washington Examiner, “From everything we know about the whistleblower and his work in the executive branch then, there is absolutely no doubt he would have been working with Biden when he was vice president.”
7. He reportedly fears for his safety – Scott Pelly on ‘60 Minutes’ reportedly claimed that the whistleblower feared for his or her safety.
In a hit piece on conservatives Yahoo repeated that Mike Cernovich targeted an individual who worked for former National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster, claiming the individual wanted to ‘sabotage’ President Trump and also claiming he is ‘pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia’.
Funny, when you click on the name ‘Eric Ciaramella’ in the post above, you get this –
Cernovich reported in June, 2017, that McMaster promoted Ciaramella in spite of being connected to Susan Rice in Obama’s White House –
West Wing officials confirmed to Cernovich Media that Eric Ciaramella, who worked closely with Susan Rice while at NSC, was recently promoted to be H.R. McMaster’s personal aide. Ciaramella will have unfettered access to McMaster’s conversations with foreign leaders.
(Ciaramella’s old boss, McMaster, was in the news siding with the whistleblower.)
Politico shared this about Ciaramella, in a hit piece claiming Trump supporters in the White House claimed people like Ciaramella were ‘deep state’ – they may have been right – [emphasis added below]
Trump political appointees were believed to frequently talk to journalists who worked for conservative media outlets. For months, those outlets published names of career Civil and Foreign Service officers in the NSC and other government agencies whose loyalties they deemed suspect. Career staffers who had joined the U.S. government many years, sometimes decades, earlier were suddenly cast as Obama loyalists determined to derail Trump’s agenda as part of a “deep state.” The people targeted included a State Department civil servant of Iranian descent who’d joined government under the George W. Bush administration; a highly respected Foreign Service officer who dealt with Israeli issues; and an NSC staffer who dealt with European and Russian issues. The latter, Eric Ciaramella, reportedly left the NSC after receiving death threats. Another staffer targeted by conservative outlets was Fernando Cutz, a Latin America expert and top aide to McMaster; at one point he had to temporarily get police protection. (Cutz was maligned by conservative websites in part because he earned a master’s degree from the University of Arkansas’ Clinton School of Public Service, thus supposedly linking him to another Democratic president.)
Also, others have noted Ciaramella was Obama’s NSC Director for the Ukraine. This connects him and his team at the NSC to Joe Biden. Biden was Obama’s lead in the Ukraine so it’s implausible that Ciararmella and his team were not connected to Biden. Schiff’s leakers are connected to Biden also.
According to Politico Ciaramello quit the NSC in the past couple of years and returned to his ‘home agency’ –
We have our #Whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella. https://t.co/sTMcN6GlqShttps://t.co/KHFzOUPc4W https://t.co/3s02our4iN pic.twitter.com/guehIKgPZB
— FOOL NELSON (@FOOL_NELSON) October 10, 2019
And, we also know that Ciaramella attended a dinner in DC with James Clapper, James Comey, Italy’s former Prime Minister Renzi who is connected to Obama and the Russia Collusion hoax, John Kerry and others. Were the origins of the Schiff hoax concocted at this meeting –
This was the dinner in Washington organized for Renzi on October 18, 2016. Among businesses and journos, we strangely find James Clapper and James Comey, an abnormal number of DHS and even Centro Studi Americani. ?
Jim (both) anything you wanna tell us?https://t.co/lhykOQchjG pic.twitter.com/WKR49cJLIB
— Giulio Occhionero (@g_occhionero) October 11, 2019
The man at the middle of the Ukraine scam is an anti-Trump CIA spy who worked in the Obama and Trump White House. We know that suspected ‘Whistleblower’ Eric Ciaramella Met with Numerous George Soros Related Guests at Obama’s White House.
Now according to the Ingraham Angle, Ciaramella is also held a key meeting in the White House in early 2016 covering the Biden family’s actions in the Ukraine. We also now know he was a key player in the Russia Collusion Hoax.
It’s time to call in Eric Ciaramella and interview him under oath.

Manager Adam Schiff’s Words Ring Hollow, and His Party’s Actions Will Incur Judgment
Last week, on day five of the Senate impeachment debacle, Congressman Adam Schiff gave his concluding remarks to the senators and all present, as well as to millions of viewers all over. In his offensive remarks, he happened to quote Abraham Lincoln’s conclusion of his State of the Union address in 1862. Schiff’s’ preferred portion was this:
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

THIS Should Scare the Hell Out of Every American: Democrats Promise to Persecute Trump Supporters if They Take White House… AND THEY MEAN IT!
Far left Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) unveiled a new campaign plan Tuesday. She must have come up with this idea while sitting through hours of sham impeachment testimony in the US Senate.
Warren’s plan calls for the creation of a Justice Department task force to investigate and prosecute corruption and immigration “violations” committed by the Trump administration.
Warren threw red meat to her fascist followers.
She is promising to persecute Trump officials.
Donald Trump has done serious damage to our government. He’s left key positions unfilled. Of those he has filled, he’s appointed lobbyists, campaign donors, and cronies. His current vindictive actions mean he’s likely to do everything he can to undermine the next president.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) January 21, 2020
I’ll move swiftly to appoint new personnel who will undo the Trump administration’s disastrous policies. I’ll adopt the strictest anti-corruption hiring rules of any administration in American history.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) January 21, 2020
According to National Review Warren promises to go after the Trump administration.
The Massachusetts senator says she will move to establish a task force to probe whether Trump officials broke any “federal bribery laws, insider trading laws, and other anti-corruption and public integrity laws” during their time in office.
Warren also proposed a DOJ task force to investigate possible violations of law committed in the course of enacting the Trump administration’s immigration agenda.
Democrats in her comment section cheered the plan to get back at Trump officials.
This should scare the hell out of EVERY AMERICAN!
When Democrats threaten tyrannical control over their opponents — THEY MEAN IT!
Democrats — even though they are out of power except for the US House of Representatives — Have been on a mission to DESTROY their opposition since November 9, 2016, the day after the election of President Donald J. Trump.
Democrats illegally spied on Trump, his family, his children, his transition team, his administration since early 2016.
Democrats, with the help of Jeff Sessions, launched a Special Counsel to investigate President Trump and his administration for collusion with Russia despite already knowing this was a debunked conspiracy theory.
Democrats cheered as Paul Manafort was sent to prison for life for his role as Trump campaign manager — when his business partners the Podestas walk free.
Democrats in the Deep State went after Trump officials to ruin them financially.
Democrats went after General Flynn to destroy his reputation, slander his good name, bankrupt him and jail him based on lies.
Democrats charged Republican operative Roger Stone with process crimes in the hope of jailing him until death.
Democrats eliminated prominent conservative voices online and on social media.
Democrats in the tech world eliminated conservative voices on Facebook — eliminated conservative voices on Twitter — eliminated conservative voices on YouTube and Google. This top Trump-supporting website has suffered greatly as a target of the left.
Democrats are starving conservative publishers from advertising dollars.
Democrats are beating Trump supporters in the streets.
And of course, the liberal fake news media is cheering on their violence and hiding their brutality.
When Democrats promise to persecute Trump supporters.
BELIEVE THEM!

Think there isn’t a uniparty ruling class? Exhibit A: John Bolton
Whatever the protestations of John Bolton as to who is leaking what to whom, the fact remains that Bolton has written a ‘tell-all’ book about his experiences as President Trump’s National Security Advisor, with the intent to release the book in the year Trump is running for re-election.
It’s not easy to engage in behavior that is both petty and despicable at the same time, but Bolton has done it.
He has made himself into the poster child for an off-the-charts arrogant ruling class that an increasingly large portion of Americans (maybe 63 million and counting?) are absolutely seething about.
‘We the people’ just can’t seem to penetrate the mindset of the Boltons of the Beltway to explain that we have had enough of their massively out of touch, egotistical act.
Want to hear a little Boltonspeak? If I were to imagine what was in his mind, it would go something like this:
You must understand, my fellow Americans, that Donald J. Trump has no business asserting the Constitutional prerogatives of the Presidency, if to do so is to go against the received wisdom of those of us who have been around this town for decades. No one has assembled a more sterling Beltway resume than I have. I am pedigreed and credentialed, and Donald Trump is not, and if he thinks he can disagree with me over matters of foreign policy and even publicly part ways with me in a way that I don’t like without big-time payback, he’s got another think coming.
You rubes of the American heartland: if we of the ruling class tell you that Joe Biden’s mind-blowingly enormous, in-your-face corruption involving the Ukraine is NOT the issue, and further tell you the real issue is whether Donald Trump dared to even think about exposing it, you need to get your mind right and agree. Once a credentialed member of the ruling class like Joe Biden even thinks about running for President, the law of the Uniparty ruling class is that any investigation of such corruption is an uppity, immoral, ungrateful interference with the ruling class’ view of a proper election. Or shall I say, an ‘impeachable offense’ against the Deep State. So learn your place, you rubes. I will tell you what impeccable foreign policy wisdom is, and you’re just lucky to have me to explain it. Stay in your lane, people. I’m in charge.
There is not enough profanity in the English language to capture the depth of hostility and anger that is rising against the Uniparty ruling class — against Bolton and against the most pompous, sanctimonious empty suit in the history of pompous, sanctimonious empty suits: Mitt Romney.
Major, major kudos are owed to Fred Fleitz, John Bolton’s former chief of staff, who went public with a calm, considered, emphatic dressing down of his former boss for such unprofessional and harmful-to-the-country behavior. Fleitz’ action was an act of patriotism, integrity and moral clarity in a Beltway that has very little of any of these. Would that John Bolton would have a humble moment of reflection and heed Mr. Fleitz’s advice.
Mitch McConnell had better gather the votes to acquit and dismiss this impeachment this week.

Pierre Delecto would like you to know how important he is
On impeachment, Mitt Romney has thrown a spanner in the works. What looked like a speedy scrapping of the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump, premised on Democrats beclowning themselves, is now on hold. Romney says that John Bolton’s “bombshell” about a supposed Ukrainian aid-for-investigation quid pro quo is so significant it merits calling Bolton as a witness in the Senate impeachment trial, just as Democrats have been calling for, though not enough to call him in at the House.
According to the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s Mitt Romney’s big moment, again.
The 2012 Republican presidential nominee has for a year been a freshman senator from Utah. He’s sitting in judgment of the president he has called unfit for office. And he’s defying President Donald Trump by calling for one witness in particular, former national security adviser John Bolton, as the Senate weighs the impeachment allegations against the nation’s 45th president.
The trial is a chance for Romney to wield influence in the Senate as an independent GOP voice — or become one of the Republicans standing by the president when it’s time to be counted.
That Bolton is selling a book and has kept quiet about his allegations until Democrats developed the idea for him, and then gave him the month’s lead time for the leak and front-page publicity from the New York Times during the Senate trial seems to be an acceptable old swamp game to Romney. To the rest of us, that’s a problem, but not to him.
That there’s no penalty for perjury during the Senate trial is another problem, but again, not to him. Lost in this detail is that it’s now a convenient forum for witnesses with axes to grind to lie. (Hat tip: Ed Timperlake)
As a result, Americans now can look forward to a long, long, long extension of speeches and a dragged out impeachment process with Republicans forced into bowing to Democrat demands to do the job they failed to do in the House. The Democrat game of course is to either oust Trump or sufficiently damage him in the election of 2020 ahead of the inauguration of a Democratic president, picture: President Bernie Sanders.
To Romney, the game seems to be getting a message to Trump simply to say that he, too, is important.
Romney seems to be banking on the idea that it all sounds so reasonable, he’s just a guy who wants to get all the facts. Yet he hasn’t thrown out any Mr. Probity calls for Hunter Biden, Eric Ciaramella or Adam Schiff as witnesses, so it’s not about probity. He just wants to hear from book-selling Bolton, who seems to be a convenient coeval and like-minded resentido. It makes Romney look like a lost soul, viewing the embittered Bolton as a rare ally, a maybe a possible in a future Romney administration.
It’s nothing but a bid to Get Trump, on the Democrats’ terms, an ego trip, from the big wounded ego of Pierre Delecto, no less, and look big and powerful doing it.
Romney seems to be banking on the idea that if he can just knock out Trump and stick to it, he’ll somehow be the big dog on the block.
That’s dubious, given that polls are against him, including this one reported by the Salt Lake Tribune:
Washington • As the Senate weighs Donald Trump’s presidential fate, more Utahns are backing him than ever before and do not want to see him convicted or removed from office, a new poll shows.
The president has never been popular in Utah, earning less than half the vote in 2016, but nearly 57% of Utahns now say they support him as the Senate continues the trial on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress allegations based on his dealings with Ukraine. Some 38% of respondents in the state disapprove of his job performance, according to the poll by The Salt Lake Tribune and Suffolk University.
He can’t even win from this, but his big ego is so in need of salving he’s pushing forward with it, thinking he can turn this around with his maneuvers, and hoping he will take down Trump even if he takes himself down, too. He has to know that on some level, and yet, he can’t stop himself. He just has to get that message out that he’s important.

On impeachment, Mitt Romney has thrown a spanner in the works. What looked like a speedy scrapping of the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump, premised on Democrats beclowning themselves, is now on hold. Romney says that John Bolton’s “bombshell” about a supposed Ukrainian aid-for-investigation quid pro quo is so significant it merits calling Bolton as a witness in the Senate impeachment trial, just as Democrats have been calling for, though not enough to call him in at the House.
According to the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s Mitt Romney’s big moment, again.
The 2012 Republican presidential nominee has for a year been a freshman senator from Utah. He’s sitting in judgment of the president he has called unfit for office. And he’s defying President Donald Trump by calling for one witness in particular, former national security adviser John Bolton, as the Senate weighs the impeachment allegations against the nation’s 45th president.
The trial is a chance for Romney to wield influence in the Senate as an independent GOP voice — or become one of the Republicans standing by the president when it’s time to be counted.
That Bolton is selling a book and has kept quiet about his allegations until Democrats developed the idea for him, and then gave him the month’s lead time for the leak and front-page publicity from the New York Times during the Senate trial seems to be an acceptable old swamp game to Romney. To the rest of us, that’s a problem, but not to him.
That there’s no penalty for perjury during the Senate trial is another problem, but again, not to him. Lost in this detail is that it’s now a convenient forum for witnesses with axes to grind to lie. (Hat tip: Ed Timperlake)
As a result, Americans now can look forward to a long, long, long extension of speeches and a dragged out impeachment process with Republicans forced into bowing to Democrat demands to do the job they failed to do in the House. The Democrat game of course is to either oust Trump or sufficiently damage him in the election of 2020 ahead of the inauguration of a Democratic president, picture: President Bernie Sanders.
To Romney, the game seems to be getting a message to Trump simply to say that he, too, is important.
Romney seems to be banking on the idea that it all sounds so reasonable, he’s just a guy who wants to get all the facts. Yet he hasn’t thrown out any Mr. Probity calls for Hunter Biden, Eric Ciaramella or Adam Schiff as witnesses, so it’s not about probity. He just wants to hear from book-selling Bolton, who seems to be a convenient coeval and like-minded resentido. It makes Romney look like a lost soul, viewing the embittered Bolton as a rare ally, a maybe a possible in a future Romney administration.
It’s nothing but a bid to Get Trump, on the Democrats’ terms, an ego trip, from the big wounded ego of Pierre Delecto, no less, and look big and powerful doing it.
Romney seems to be banking on the idea that if he can just knock out Trump and stick to it, he’ll somehow be the big dog on the block.
That’s dubious, given that polls are against him, including this one reported by the Salt Lake Tribune:
Washington • As the Senate weighs Donald Trump’s presidential fate, more Utahns are backing him than ever before and do not want to see him convicted or removed from office, a new poll shows.
The president has never been popular in Utah, earning less than half the vote in 2016, but nearly 57% of Utahns now say they support him as the Senate continues the trial on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress allegations based on his dealings with Ukraine.
