If you have read any of my blogs (and thank you for doing so,) you will note that I am a great fan of Stephen King. For me, Mr. King is a master of horror, because, in most cases, it is not the perceived monster, of imagination to fear, but IT is the actual ruminations of the human being, and the sinister and insidious nature which when unleashed is more gruesome and fearful then any creature created or invented. In his book “The Outsider,” Mr. King portends that one person actually could be in two places at the same time. As I watch (and it has been painful,) the Senate hearings regarding Impeachment of Trump, I actually believe I am watching another novel written by Stephen King. When the Trump attorneys speak, it is as if we live in a lawless land run by a King, and nothing had been or currently is wrong or had been or currently is of a criminal nature. When the House of Representative Impeachment Managers speak, reciting truth from emails, texts, actual conversations, timelines from actual people involved in conceived and convenient cover-ups, it as if another universe suddenly opened up, or a Stephen King so aptly wrote in the “The Outsider,” another dimension appeared.
How, does the Trump legal team imagine, the American people to never hear from witnesses, never see the actual players on stage, this time explaining their roles in Trumps Quid Pro Quo…or are the Trump defenders hoping, that as has always been the case, Trump can do all kinds of harm and never pay a consequence. It has been agonizing television, real-time drama and tragedy played out in the Senate Chambers as if it was a Shakespearean play. So sad we are when the cover-up, by the Trump team will end up smothering democracy and justice.
