They did it once. They will do it again if you let them.

Rand Paul laid it out plainly. The Russia hoax was not a rogue operation by low-level FBI agents who got carried away. It was directly orchestrated by President Obama. He gathered his people in January 2016 and told them that Trump was dangerous and they were going to go after him. They seeded evidence throughout the intel agencies. They manufactured the Russia conspiracy. They used the full power of the American intelligence community against a political opponent.

Which really was a hoax.

Think about what a Democrat House majority would look like starting in January.

They already impeached Trump twice during his first term. Once over a phone call with Ukraine that the declassified documents show was part of a manufactured coup attempt coordinated in the Oval Office. Once over January 6th. Both impeachments consumed enormous amounts of governing time, poisoned the political environment, and were designed to do exactly what Rand Paul describes. Use institutional power to destroy a political opponent.

If Democrats take the House on November 3rd, impeachment number three begins in January. It does not matter what the charge is. They will find one. They always do. The goal is not conviction. The goal is paralysis. Keep the president tied up in proceedings. Keep the news cycle focused on investigations rather than policy. Run out the clock on the second term the same way they tried to run out the clock on the first.

Paul made a point that goes beyond Trump personally. The intel agencies are temporarily under good control right now. But you cannot always count on good people being in charge of them. You have to constrain their power legally so that the next Obama, or the next Brennan, or the next director who decides a political opponent is dangerous cannot do what they did in 2016.

A Republican House is the only firewall between the next two years of governing and the next two years of impeachment theater.

The Russia hoax started in January 2016. The classified documents confirmed it. The criminal referrals are filed. The accountability is finally moving.

Do not hand the House back to the people who ran the hoax and hand them the subpoena power to run another one.
