Here's a puzzle.
WH lawyers argue that Trump cannot be indicted or tried for a crime while in office, then they criticize impeachment for not specifying a crime.
Incidentally, if anyone is curious, here are all the impeachments held in the US to date

I keep seeing the argument that Democrats are setting dangerous precedent for making impeachment political. I feel Republicans are setting dangerous precedent saying that the President is above the law, above questioning, above the other branches, above subpoenas, that he can claim executive privilege over absolutely any and everything that pertains even slightly to him, that he can prevent witnesses from testifying, withhold Congressionally apportioned funds, use "national security" as a blanket excuse without the slightest shred of evidence to overstep his power in terms of funding for his wall and imposing tariffs, that he can brazenly funnel government money to his private businesses, continue to receive payments form foreign governments at his private properties, that he can directly request interference in his upcoming election, ignore national security by spilling classified information anytime he wants to feel important (yes, I know the president can declassify anything), can ignore national security threats against our election process, can ignore his own government intelligence because he thinks he knows more than they do...
Is this really the next
Democratic president y'all want? Do you really think there
isn't going to be a future Democratic president and Congress that you don't want to get away with the above abuses? A president above oversight, above the law?
