He Is as Lawless and Corrupt as Ever

The House impeachment managers, writing in the Washington Post:
Four months ago, we tried President Trump for abusing the power of his office in ways that undermined our countrys national security, the integrity of U.S. elections and the constitutional structure of our republic. Trumps efforts to coerce an ally to help him cheat in the upcoming election violated the public trust, went to the heart of his unfitness for office and revealed that he prioritizes his interests over those of the nation.
The president was not changed by impeachment. He is as lawless and corrupt as ever. But his wrongdoing has far greater consequences given the acute challenges facing the nation, the failure of those around him to curb destructive impulses, and the continued unwillingness of many members of Congress to serve as a meaningful check and balance as the Founders intended.
