De-emphasize the Cover-Up...It's real but a side issue

Too much room for wiggling and rationalization.

Emphasize the core issue.

The cover-up should be an article of impeachment, but a lesser one. Just hammer on the smoking gun(s): Prez actively bribed, in multiple ways and on multiple occasions, a foreign nation to conspire to contribute to his re-election.

I'm really referring to the media. They are overemphasizing it (slightly). I don't think the Dems will make that mistake in the impeachment proceedings.
