The brunt of the author’s argument is based on the bolded part of this passage from the article,..
...with the ludicrous reading by the author that Trump’s extortion scheme to create a fake news story against a key political rival that Trump ordered his minions to carry out, as well as got personally involved in, as the evidence clearly shows, was somehow not “akin to treason or bribery”. Of course it is!!! Trump was trying use the immense power of the Office of the President to illegally extort a US ally to personally benefit himself in his bid to get re-elected as president!!! Case fucking closed!!!The Constitution only authorizes impeachment for three reasons: treason, bribery, and “other High Crimes and Misdemeanors” akin to treason or bribery.
