Quit meets quo

Yesterday I vowed to do better in cataloging the genius’s criminality, and like manna from heaven, here’s proof of yet another impeachable offense. When the genius tweeted that he was going to help save thousands of Chinesejobs, it set all our spider senses tingling, didn’t it? You just knew there was some sort of corruption involved. The short story is that the Chinese paid for the change in Trump’s policy by lending money to his businesses. The quid is as blatant as the quo. The details are at the link above.

Of course, ultimately impeachment is a political act. While I think it is useful to note each criminal act in which Trump engages, I’m with the Democrats that are arguing that the last thing you want to campaign on in the fall is Trump’s criminality. Let that simmer in the background. It will leave a sour taste in people’s mouths, making them more receptive to campaigns based on progressive ideas, which, whether the DCCC wants to believe it or not, are popular with most voters when packaged well.

Oh, did I forget to say that the odds are increasing that the Democrats will blow it?
