This past weekend, Republicans went on the news shows to try and spin Trump’s treasonous, criminal, impeachable offenses as president, as alternately something everybody is doing, and … crimes aren’t crimes. Honestly, that’s basically it. Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier of California is on the House Intelligence Committee that is getting to sit in and watch a parade of government officials testify to about the garbage fire that is our current president’s administration.

Speier went on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos to remind everyone that while much of the testimony connected to this impeachment inquiry has been behind closed doors, what has already leaked makes for a very plain and simple case of criminal, impeachable action on the part of Donald Trump. Having been asked how this is different from the Mueller report, Speier tried to remind the world that getting bogged down in BS is the only reason Trump wasn’t impeached 1,000 times already. REP. JACKIE SPEIER: This is a very simple, straightforward act. The president broke the law.

Because you have an elected official demanding action—of a foreign country in this case—and providing something of value, which in this case is the investigation. And he is withholding aid, which is that official act. And the Constitution is very clear. Treason, bribery, or acts of omission. And in this case it is clearly one of those. Read more
