Dick CHEENEE's guru Classics prof Victor Davis HANSON still up to his ancient tricks!1
Yaas, back in the run-up to the Shrub (read, CHEENEE-BOLTON-WOLFOWITZ, etc.) illegal Iraq Attack, professor HANSON was one of the multi-justifiers of the attack, was trotted to tutor for the media CHEENEE about the ancient justification for PERPETUAL WAR and how what we need now and forever are ancient physiques fighting physically and perpetually.
So here he is again and now. He is *SO* smart and yet he buys into the obvious fallacy of SHITLER-not/guilty-'cause-he-didn't-carry-out-the crime?!1 So *ATTEMPTED* murder et al. attempts ain't a crime because the murder didn't occur?!1 And *THIS* is a f***ing nationally known Classics professor?!1 What would Socrates, Plato, and any "honest lawyer" say to him?!1

National Review columnist Victor David Hanson accused House Democrats of trying to impeach President Donald Trump for “thought crimes” because military aid to Ukraine was delayed by the White Hose — for nearly two months — but was not ultimately canceled.
Speaking with Fox News’ Ed Henry, Hanson reprised his argument from his most recent column, where he argued that the president’s opponents are basing their case against him on things he might have talked about but never actually did. ....
“Trump may or may not, we don’t really know, the evidence suggests he didn’t, think about delaying aid and that aid was delayed. But it wasn’t cut off. Maybe he thought about cutting it off,” Hanson said. “That’s not a crime. There was a context about it and he didn’t force the firing of anybody in Ukraine, and he didn’t interfere in the sense that the Ukrainians stared an investigation at his prompt.” ....
“It’s not against the law to hold up aid,” Hanson replied, without acknowledging that he was no longer talking about what Trump thought, but actually did. “Every president, every administration has the right to examine, cross-examine, think, double-think about the aid for a couple of reasons. Maybe they thought it was corrupt. People have suggested that Ukraine couldn’t be trusted until they had verification the new president was reliable. Maybe they thought Donald Trump was too sensitive about giving aid to anybody. All of these are legitimate reasons to delay or to interrupt aid, but the bottom line is he didin’t cut it in the end.” ....
“If you’re going to convict people of thought crimes for considering cutting it, what would you do if you said, ‘Well, [President] Barack Obama never gave them legal aid and a lot of people died because of that?' ” Hanson said, making a false comparison between unrelated situations. “We’re not impeaching Barack Obama for that. That’s his prerogative as a president to say, you know what, ‘I’m not going to give any legal aid to the Ukrainians. Heck with them, hell with them, I don’t care about giving them lethal aid.’ No Republicans said ‘Oh my God, we’re going to impeach the president, he didn’t give him lethal aid.' ” ....
