HIGH CRIMES
2 paths to a ‘President Trump’ BEFORE 2024
Exclusive: L.A. ‘Tony’ Kovach spotlights high level of dissatisfaction among Democratic voters
By WND Guest Columnist

Article II, Section 4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
It says:
- “The Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach and remove the President,1Vice President, and all federal civil officers for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.2“
- “Congress’s power of impeachment is an important check on the executive and judicial branches, recognized by the Framers as a crucial tool for holding government officers accountable for violations of the law and abuses of power.3“
From footnote 1: “Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 grants the sole power of impeachment to the House of Representatives; Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 assigns the Senate sole responsibility to try impeachments; Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 provides that the sanctions for an impeached and convicted individual are limited to removal from office and potentially a bar from holding future office, but an impeachment proceeding does not preclude criminal liability. …”
From footnote 7: “… Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States § 762 (1833) Not [just] crimes of a strictly legal character fall within the scope of the [impeachment] power, (for, as we shall presently see, treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanours are expressly within it;) but that [impeach power] … has a more enlarged operation, and reaches … political offences, growing out of personal misconduct, or gross neglect, or usurpation, or habitual disregard of the public interests, in the discharge of the duties of political office.”
By definition, unconstitutional behavior fits the definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
WND’s Joseph Farah has argued that deposed President Donald J. Trump could be made speaker of the House should Republicans recapture Congress in 2022 midterms. Once a new Congress is seated in 2023, Farah and others have made the case for a “stealthy route” back to the White House by a Republican dominated Congress impeaching Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
While possible, it isn’t easy. Impeachment is easier the more Republicans control the House and Senate. Impeachment in the House is by simple majority. But it must be followed by a removal-from-office vote in the Senate of two-thirds, or 67 elected senators.
Left-leaning Wikipedia notes that 14 Senate Democrats are up for reelection on Nov. 8. Several are from deep blue (i.e., Democratic) states, including California, Oregon, Washington and New York. All 435 House seats and 35 seats Senate seats this year are contested.
Per Wikipedia below, 14 of those Senate seats are held by Democrats and 21 by Republicans.
Note several states are “deep blue,” meaning very Democratic, including California, Illinois, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. Republican Senate pickups in heavily Democratic states are difficult, but not impossible.
“Right-track, wrong-track” polling has some 80-plus percent of the population unhappy with the direction of the country. Americans already unhappy. Voters must recognize that the party in power – Democrats – must be turned out of office by the most rapid legal means possible.
High levels of dissatisfaction must be recognized by all people of goodwill, including independents and regardless of normal Democrat-Republican party affiliation.
Let’s be clear. These are not normal times.
Polling suggests tens of millions believe the 2020 presidential election and possibly a key U.S. Senate seat were “stolen” via claimed shenanigans.
Left-leaning Poynter.org reported in June: “In poll after poll, about 70% of Republicans say they don’t think Joe Biden is the legitimate winner of the 2020 election.” They’re not alone. That may be unprecedented.
Furthermore, millions were better off economically three years ago (pre-COVID-19), noting the “pandemic” and its handling by public officials merits its own analysis.
High-level dissatisfaction among people of all parties creates a unique opportunity to resolve this pain before the 2024 election cycle.
Here are two possible paths:
Plan A: Voters, regardless of normal party affiliation, must straight-vote Republican in the 2022 midterms. Then, Republicans could make Trump House speaker. After House impeachment, voters would then need to pressure enough Democratic senators to vote with Republicans in 2023 to remove Biden and Harris from office. The House speaker then becomes the president.
Plan B: Quo Warranto. Per Law.Cornell.edu: “A writ of quo warranto is a common law remedy … [challenging] a person’s right to hold … public … office.” Theoretically, either method could make Trump president in 2023. That’s my evidence-based view as an award-winning history buff, publisher, business professional, and political independent whose family has at times supported members of either major party.

Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary
The link from the WND guest op-ed above “evidence-based view as an award-winning history buff” links to this prior guest letter. It and the prior both arguably go near the heart of the causal issues – plus possible solutions – to problems that have dogged the U.S. and the manufactured housing profession for decades.
Note that since the May 2021 item below, Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes has been convicted of fraud.
The solution to Big Tech and the oligarchs
Published May 11, 2021 at 7:16pm
Anyone who thinks Big Tech will be reined in by regulations has not been paying close attention. The following cases exposed years of documented corporate, regulatory and accounting failures. They spotlight massive corruption and mainstream media misses.
- Enron
· Theranos
· WorldCom
· VW “Diesel-Gate”
· Solyndra
· Bernard “Bernie” Madoff
· WeWork
· Lehman Brothers
· Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (Government Sponsored Enterprises/GSEs).
Collectively, that list involved hundreds of billions of dollars in losses by investors. Various types of fraud, corruption and deception occurred. Because taxpayers and the broader economy were impacted by Lehman Brothers and GSEs housing-finance scandals, those cost Americans trillions of dollars.
John Kenneth Galbraith said: “Regulatory bodies, like the people who comprise them … become, with some exceptions, either an arm of the industry they are regulating or senile.” Bingo.
Modern robber barons are dominating information and capital. Cold Fusion’s documentary about the Theranos’ scandal observed: “It’s the illusionary effect where if you repeat a lie enough times people start to believe it, especially if you have credible names surrounding the product.”
Problematic products are from corrupt companies.
Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes is shown with then Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama. In the massive Enron scandal, Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling are shown with then President George W. Bush (R). Those establishment politicians are sufficient to make the point of the “illusionary effect” of “repeating a big lie enough times” when “credible names” are involved.
Harry Markopolos and his colleagues spent years trying to get public officials and mainstream media to expose the massive Bernie Madoff fraud they knew existed. Forbes says Madoff losses may have exceeded $50 billion.
Other regulatory failures are hiding in plain sight. The New York Times quoted Warren Buffett: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
Buffett’s “class” profited wildly in the 2008 and 2020 economic upheavals. How? CNBC quoted billionaire Bill Gates: “I didn’t even want to meet Warren because I thought, ‘Hey this guy buys and sells things, and so he found imperfections in terms of markets, that’s not value added to society, that’s a zero-sum game that is almost parasitic.'”
The CDC defines parasitic: “A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.”
Buffett said, “The most important thing for me is figuring out how big a moat there is around a business. What I would love, of course, is a big castle and a big moat with piranhas and crocodiles.”
When carefully examined, these oligarchs and their businesses employ “parasitic” “moat” and “sabotage monopoly” methods. They create a slow-motion monopoly of various markets.
Experts like James Schmitz say monopolies “inflict great harm on low- and middle-income Americans.”
The solution? Enforce existing laws. Break these pernicious giants up. They cause social, economic and moral harm. Once broken up, watch the economy and America soar. ##

The Democratic party’s titular leader is White House Resident PINO Joe Biden. Biden has also made the argument that consolidation of industries, which is another euphemism that describes the process of monopolization of an industry or profession.

In an arguably relevant and related Masthead, Donald Trump Jr. said antitrust action is the ‘number two or number three’ most important issue in America today.
Following the links in the above weave a variety of facts, evidence and viewpoints together that illustrate how existing laws could remedy problems like the woes dogging manufactured housing illustrated in the examples linked below.
