GOP Congressman Wants to Clear Name of the World’s Most Prominent Falsely Accused Innocent Man

New in PJ Media:

It’s clear now that both impeachments of President Donald Trump were shabby partisan affairs based on zero evidence, and that will be remembered as shameful episodes in American history. So why should they remain on the record? Is there no way for the man to clear his name? Now Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is taking action to “expunge” both impeachments.

Fox News reported Monday that Issa “has introduced a resolution aimed at reversing the two impeachments of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives in a move he says will rectify a situation where Democrats used ‘knowingly false’ claims in a partisan attempt to destroy the president’s reputation.

If this could actually be done, it would be a matter of simple justice. The first impeachment was over a phone call Trump had with Volodymyr Zelensky in which the president spoke about Old Joe Biden’s shady dealings in Ukraine. Democrats trumpeted this as an illicit “quid pro quo” while doing their best to get you to forget that Biden’s Ukraine connections are indeed questionable, and that Old Joe himself engaged in behavior that was quite similar to what they falsely accused Trump of doing.

The second impeachment hinged on the bogus Jan. 6 “insurrection,” in which Trump was supposed to have tried to overthrow the government by sending some selfie-snapping grannies and a guy wearing Viking horns into the Capitol, as police held the doors open for them.

And so Issa has introduced H.Res.1211, which says that both of the impeachments of Trump should be officially “expunged as if such Article had never passed the full House of Representatives.” Issa explains: “The fact is that the Constitution doesn’t spell out what to do when you’ve wrongfully indicted somebody. An impeachment is basically an indictment and it’s an indictment that you can’t really be acquitted from. If you are impeached by the House, famously where do you go to get your reputation back, is the question.”

That’s the question that leftists, if they had any integrity, should be answering frequently these days. Where do the victims of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s craven exercises in character assassination go to get their reputations back? Where should the victims of the leftist establishment media apply for the restoration of their good names? And above all, how can the left’s foremost target over the last eleven years and counting, Donald Trump, be cleared of the stain of the literally thousands of lies the leftist propaganda machine has told about him?

Issa continued: “And that’s sort of a problem that we’re dealing with, which is that the president was wrongfully accused, the evidence is now out that there was withheld information and false information, but where do we go to unring this bell? And the answer is we go back to Congress and we go to the House floor and we have a vote.”
