spelled out by the Constitution.
I have been waiting for the argument, but it is extortion and not bribery, and extortion is not a high crime or misdemeanor. I expect them to use that before it is over.

why Democrats are so absolutely horrible at framing a narrative. This is politics, this is the era of media from your living room to your bathroom to your car.
