But Donald Trump has so subverted Washington logic with his wild, norm-crushing presidency that there is now a serious conversation -- at least among Democrats -- about whether he views the ultimate constitutional crisis as a weapon in his re-election campaign.The possibility is shaping the strategies of Democratic leaders as they weigh the political risks of impeachment and their duty to defend principles of American governance.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- building on a political narrative sketched by Attorney General William Barr -- is framing the end of the special counsel investigation as"case closed."Much Democratic reticence about impeachment is shaped by a certain reading of the history of the Bill Clinton era.
