That’s certainly one part of it. Also consider that he was shitty to and dropped the call early with the AUS PM. In the public statements with Abe, trump didn’t have his translation earpiece in, and yet he knodded sagely to the things Abe was saying…in Japanese. This absolutely idiotic insistence about MA voters being bussed in to NH to vote illegally?!? The utterly malevolent drafting and release of the EO banning immigrants, trump’s insistence that Mexico (or anyone) will pay for his stupid fucking wall…it’s quite the onslaught of mean, ignorant governance that exists outside of stuff the IC might have on him.
And every day that Chaffetz and his ilk avert their eyes only serves to underline their own failures at protecting the American people from trump.
Both Clinton and Johnson were impeached, but not convicted by the senate. So ironically enough, Nixon was the only one who had to leave office because of impeachment, but only because it was already clear BEFORE they voted that he was going to be impeached and would be convicted by the senate…
