THE IMPEACHMENT BANDWAGON

You didn’t have to read beyond the headlines to understand that the villains were obsessed with impeaching President Trump.

•“The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun”—the Washington Post, January 20, 2017

•“Will Donald Trump Make It a Year in Office?”—Vanity Fair, The Hive, January 25, 2017

•“Legal Scholars: Why Congress Should Impeach Donald Trump”—Time magazine, February 6, 2017

•“Trump Impeached? You Can Bet on It”—Politico, February 12, 2017

•“House Democrat From California Seeks Support to Impeach Trump”—the New York Times, June 12, 2017

•“Democrats Hatch Plans A, B, and C to Impeach Trump”—The Daily Signal, July 10, 2017

At the very moment that Chief Justice John Roberts was administering the Oath of Office to Trump, impeachtrumpnow.org went live on the Internet. Within forty-eight hours, more than 100,000 people had signed the website’s petition. By the fall of 2017, the site had collected several million signatures.

The site was run by two “resistance” groups—Free Speech for People and RootsAction—both of which were supported and funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, David Brock’s Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and Priorities USA Action, the largest Democratic Party super PAC. Two of the leaders of Free Speech for People—Lance Lindblom, a director, and Jeff Clements, a co-founder of the group and its general counsel—were old Soros hands. Lindblom was the former executive vice president of Soros’ Open Society Institute/Open Society Fund, and Clements attended Soros’ board meetings.

A key figure in the impeachment movement was Norman Solomon, the co-founder of RootsAction.1 The mainstream media barely mentioned Solomon in its coverage of the “resistance,” which wasn’t surprising given the fact that reporters failed to investigate the movement, its leaders, its ideology, and its funding.

The sixty-six-year-old Solomon was a high school drop-out who had been on and off the FBI’s watch list since he was fourteen. He was an avowed socialist, who wrote a book criticizing the comic strip Dilbert as a capitalist tool. He visited Moscow eight times before the fall of the Soviet Union.

Solomon’s group, RootsAction, epitomized what might be called the “demented” wing of the “resistance.”2 Among its screwiest ideas, it presented a petition to the Nobel Institute recommending that the Nobel Peace Prize be awarded to none other than Bradley Manning—also known as Chelsea Manning—the former U.S. Army intelligence analyst, who was sentenced to thirty-five years in prison for stealing hundreds of thousands of military secrets and giving them to WikiLeaks.3
