I've a question: Are our politicians in the House guilty of the one of the same offenses we are investigating President Trump for? For him, it is an impeachable offense, so what of it, if the House members are doing some of the same thing?
First, the President: He is accused of using his office to gain advantage in an election at the expense of national policy. Was foreign policy affected by his desire to have a political rival investigated? For, we perceive that that would be wrong. And, it does seem a definitive wrong that your own interest of of being re-elected should influence your decisions on foreign policy, even dictating them.
So, what of our politicians? All their concern is for the election and standing of their party. Just as we should not be altering our judgments of what to do in the Ukraine to accommodate politics, so we should not be altering our judgments of what to do in an impeachment inquiry to accommodate our own personal politics. If letting your personal politics color your dealings with Ukraine is wrong, so is letting your own personal politics color your work on the impeachment.
The concern of our leaders should be of a single mind: the welfare of our nation. It should be whether the Constitution has been violated. If the House members let the interests of their party outweigh the interests of the nation, they are as guilty as the president on that particular charge. They join in his corruption by saying such a thing is okay.
