We’re three days into the impeachment trial, and Senate Republicans have begun floating their “what President Trump did was okay” trial balloon.


For the most part, they’re still avoiding weighing in directly about the Trump conduct House managers have described, and instead have thrown around procedural complaints or claims about how the Trump administration’s Ukraine policy has been stronger than the Obama’s.

But listen closely to the main themes in their reactions to the House’s meticulously built case. What you’ll hear being shaped is a defense that accepts that Trump mounted a secret pressure campaign to force a Ukrainian investigation into his 2020 rival and a defense that concludes that such an effort was permissible.

Nowhere is this growing GOP embrace of Trump’s Ukraine behavior more evident than in how they’re handling the ongoing debate over calling witnesses.

4. That's all they've got. Jury nullification.

5. To accept this premise one must accept that undermining our nation's foreign policy and

inviting foreign interference in our democratic election process, for any reason, much less personal gain, "is okay". And, we need to be ready to hang that like a bright glowing neon sign on every Republican traitor that tries to push that trash to avoid their oaths.

6. They want to rationalize their own treachery for taking Russian money.

GOPers want to give themselves an out for when they, inevitably, are caught using foreign aid for their personal, political gain.
