The rot now runs all the way down

Rank partisan solidarity is all Trump’s defenders have left

Probably taking a bribe, not offering one and not soliciting one, is the example cited in the constitution of what would count as a high crime or misdemeanor.

But never mind.

He was subordinating US foreign policy and congressionally authorized spending to his personal interest as a politician campaigning for reelection, holding congressionally authorized defense money for Ukraine for ransom, that being a very specific quid pro quo, that being the president of Ukraine publicly and with great fanfare launching an investigation, not at all called for by any known facts, into corruption on the parts of Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

And pretty much the entire body of Republicans in the US legislature is committed to defending that, and to defending him at every step of the way, with no matter what disgusting and low methods, of the impeachment process launched by Democrats in the House of Representatives.
