President Trump’s impeachment debate in the US House of Representatives will be held today (13th) our time. As soon as possible, it seems that the vote will be held tomorrow. President Trump protested that “promoting the impeachment will cause tremendous anger.” We will summarize the impeachment-related news in the presentation of the class leader Ryu Jeong-hwa.
[기자]
[낸시 펠로시/미국 하원의장 (현지시간 지난 12일) : 트럼프 대통령의 행동은 그의 절대적인 무능력과 무책임 그리고 백악관의 가장 기초적이고 기본적인 권력과 의무를 웅변합니다. 그러므로 트럼프 대통령은 즉시 공직에서 물러나야 합니다. 대통령 탄핵은 전례 없는 일이지만, 그가 만든 역사상 유례없는 위험 때문에 꼭 필요한 일입니다.]
The impeachment bill for President Trump will be discussed in the US House of Representatives from 11:00 p.m. our time a little later. It seems that the vote will follow after discussion. It’s been only one week since the raid on the Capitol, which led to the impeachment. The House of Representatives is almost certain to pass the impeachment, as only Democrats are over half. Republican lawmakers also said they would join some of the impeachment votes. In particular, Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney, also officially declared in favor of impeachment.
[애덤 킨징어/미국 공화당 하원의원 (현지시간 지난 12일) : 이게 진실입니다. 대통령이 이 사태를 만들었습니다. 대통령은 부적격이고 잘못했습니다. 대통령은 이제 행정부에 대한 통제권을 자발적이든 비자발적이든 포기해야 합니다.]
Impeachment in the Senate, which requires 17 more Republican breakout votes, doesn’t seem easy right now. The Senate Congress will be held as early as the 19th and the day before President Biden took office.
Instead of a complicated impeachment, the method of suspending the presidential office under the authority of the vice president and ministers, and the invocation of Article 25 of the Amendment was missed. Vice President Mike Pence rejected it. In an official letter to Chairman Nancy Pelosi, Vice President Pence said, “I do not believe that the invocation of the 25th Amendment is in the best interests of the country or in line with the Constitution.” “I will not give in to the political game of the House of Representatives in a situation where the country’s survival is serious.” Referring to the Capitol raid last week, the administration said that it should focus on orderly transfer of power and that it should refrain from actions that cause division. Vice President Pence already met with President Trump yesterday and agreed to “Let’s join the rest of the term.” If Article 25 of the Amendment is not invoked, the Democratic Party has pledged to vote on the impeachment bill. President Trump criticized President Biden to become President.
[도널드 트럼프/미국 대통령 : 수정헌법 25조는 저에게 아무런 위험이 되지 않습니다. 조 바이든과 바이든 행정부에게 부메랑으로 돌아올 겁니다. ‘말이 씨가 된다’는 속담이 있죠.]
President Trump, too, was not spared. First official schedule after the Capitol Hill raid. On the way to visit the Texas Wall, I met with reporters several times and gave unstoppable answers. First, the impeachment was strongly opposed by saying that it was’hoax’.
[도널드 트럼프/미국 대통령 : 탄핵은, 정치 역사상 가장 큰 마녀사냥의 연속입니다. 참 우습죠. 정말 말도 안 됩니다. 탄핵은 엄청난 분노를 일으키고 있고, 당신들은 그 일을 하고 있습니다.]
Impeachment was a witch hunt, and he criticized Chairman Pelosi and Democratic Senate Representative Chuck Schumer for promoting the impeachment. He said it would endanger the country and cause great anger. At the same time, they said’I want no violence’, I don’t want violence. Just before the raid on the Capitol, I answered a question that asked me to take responsibility for my speech.
[도널드 트럼프/미국 대통령 : 많은 사람들이 그랬듯, 당신이 제 연설을 읽었다면, 저도 신문과 방송에서 그 연설을 봤는데요, 사람들은 저의 말이 완전히 적절하다고 생각하고 그렇게 분석됐습니다.]
Is it fluid escape speech? I saw my speech in newspapers and broadcasts, and there was no problem. In short, it drew a line saying’I am not responsible’. President Trump, after getting off the plane, you said:
[도널드 트럼프/미국 대통령 : 지금은 나라를 치유할 때입니다. 평화와 고요함의 시간입니다. 사법 당국과 법적 집행자들에 대한 존경도 필요합니다. 이것이 바로 ‘미국을 다시 위대하게(MAGA)’의 근간입니다. 우리는 법치국가이고 질서있는 나라입니다.]
One week before President Trump drew the line, the raid on the Capitol was more serious than expected. It wasn’t an accident, it was a well-prepared, organized event. Two pipe bombs were installed around the Capitol, and they said it was a real bomb with an ignition device and a timer. Some also had firearms and handcuffs. An attempt was made to take lawmakers hostage. The FBI and federal prosecutors are investigating 160 people, which they say is the tip of the iceberg. It is said that more than 100,000 files are being analyzed. 70 cases have already been prosecuted, but the bomber has yet to be caught.
[마이클 셔윈/워싱턴DC 연방검찰 검사장 대행 (현지시간 지난 12일) : 단순히 무단 침입을 했건, 파이프 폭탄을 설치했건 간에, 당신은 기소될 것이고 분명히 잡힐 것입니다.]
From the arrested protesters, members of the far-right conspiracy group’Curenan’, the gun-friendly group, and members of the white supremacist group. There was also the son of the Supreme Court of New York State. Wearing fur, holding a police shield, breaking into the capitol and taking pictures. Aaron Mostovsky wrote in the New York Post, “We’re deceived. Trump’s votes are 85 million, not 75 million.” Currently, it has been released as bail for 100,000 dollars and about 100 million won in our money.
One week later, ahead of the inauguration ceremony, Washington DC was declared an emergency. All over the road was controlled. Is it not the end until the end? U.S. intelligence officials say they have obtained information that there will be another armed demonstration at the inauguration ceremony. It is said that the military and police even prepared rules of engagement.
[코너 램/미국 민주당 하원의원 (현지시간 지난 12일) : 4000명의 무장 세력이 의사당을 둘러싸고, 민주당 의원들이 들어가는 것을 막을 거라고 합니다. 무장 세력은 조직된 집단입니다.]
President Trump drew a clear line with the raid on the Capitol, where was he at the time? President Trump, who went into the White House office after speaking in front of protesters that morning, watched a live broadcast of Capitol Hill intrusion, the Washington Post reported. It is said that he was so immersed in the live broadcast that he could not even receive calls from staff who recognized the seriousness of the situation. According to an anonymous aide, “President Trump watched interestingly and pleasantly.” President Trump recently phoned Congressman McCarthy and insisted that “there is a left-wing group behind the invasion of Congress.” It is said to have been hit. Congressman McCarthy is still an allied friend who sent letters about “anti-impeachment” to Republican lawmakers, but it is said that Republican Senator Mitch McConnell told his fellow lawmakers, “I am satisfied with the Democratic Party’s impeachment promotion.” As public opinion about the Capitol raids and violent protests worsens, it remains to be seen whether changes will occur within the Republican Party, along with the state of the House vote tonight, before the Senate vote.
