(8,849 posts)doesn't have to be explicit 'direction'...doesn't have to be a direct connection to the specific actions taken by the insurrectionists...we don't need to hear a phone call between Trump or spawn and the viking helmet guy...
...what we already know represents MASSIVE irresponsibility, GIGANTIC dereliction of duty, probable illegality, HUGE embarrassment on the world stage, ENORMOUS erosion of US as a beacon of democracy, EXTREME violation of oath of office...a culmination of the worst 4 years of presidential history. All of which are supremely impeachable in a health senate.
I hope the impeachment managers make it clear this is not a criminal trial and that undermining of democracy over several months represents a COMPLETE FAILURE of presidential duty warranting conviction. There don't need to be debates of fine points here...this is crystal clear.
