The whistleblower complaint is certainly worthy of investigation, but is an inappropriate phone call an impeachable offense? Is there evidence of a quid pro quo? Is there a case to be made that President Trump engaged in a"betrayal of his oath of office"? Or is this a rush to judgment at a time we need to slow down and look at the facts?
Alice StewartIt's not a heavy lift to find Republicans who have, at some point, looked at President Trump's actions and said,"I would not have done that" or"I would not have said it that way." I count myself among them. With that as a starting point, it's important to consider the credibility of the whistleblower complaint, the calculation of the Democrats and the collateral damage that will likely result from the impeachment proceedings.
