High Crimes on the White House Lawn

Jonathan Chait: “Donald Trump is being impeached for using his office to pressure foreign countries to investigate his political rivals. It is not clear Trump understands that, because he simply continues committing this offense in broad daylight.”

“In remarks to reporters today, Trump was asked what he wants Ukraine to do about the Bidens. He replied, ‘If they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation into the Bidens.’ While elaborating on his answer, he added that he would also suggest China launch an investigation of the Biden family.”

“Of course, the idea that any American citizens should be subject to the Chinese justice system is absurd. The only possible way Trump could desire such an investigation would be if he believes China would fix the outcome in order to win his favor.”

This is how craven and corrupt GOP politicians are: Trump calls reporters to gather around himself and turn on their cameras and audio recording devices... and then commits crimes. And then the GOP act like it is a big mystery why people think Trump deserves to be impeached and removed.
