I joined China’s CGTN America to explain the battle between evidence and obstruction in the Trump impeachment trial.
Along the way, I deal with Trump supporters Robb Watters and Christopher Metzler, who demonstrate the point with their diversionary, irrelevant, and sometimes false statements.
Nate Lerner of Build the Wave offers further insight into Donald Trump’s claimed abuse of power and obstruction, and the tactics to protect him.
Do you choose to hold a fair trial and uphold the Constitution, or do you railroad this under the sham call of “It’s All A Hoax”?
If you do not hold a President accountable when there is substantial evidence, if you shout “Witch Hunt”, if you shut down and misrepresent the evidence, you are stomping on the American Constitution and you are threatening to damage the American system.
CGTN America has registered as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agent Registration Act on February 1, 2019, amid growing concerns from the United States Department of Justice an “expanding influence campaign being waged by Beijing through the global arms of state media outlets”.[9] The Guardian’s Louisa Lim and Julia Bergin wrote that while the China “Communist Party has always maintained a tight grip over domestic media, their strategy has shifted in recent years to spread that control globally”, by “exerting their influence on media abroad, through a multifaceted approach that includes offering generous salary packages to recruit talented journalists away from local media in Africa, Latin America, and elsewhere; buying advertising supplements in mainstream foreign publications; buying foreign media companies outright; and making deals with local broadcasters in Africa and elsewhere to spread their content in local markets”. During President Xi Jinping’s tour of state media outlets in February 2016, he emphasized that they must “speak for the Party,” and, further, that they must expand their influence abroad in order to “tell China’s story to the world.”[10] After registering with the FARA, CGTN America director general Ma Jing and a dozen other staffers were recalled to Beijing.[11]
