Of the recent impeachments, Clinton, Nixon, and Trump - how many refused to comply with the process or instructed their staff to ignore Congress? Even Nixon instructed his staff to cooperate - Trump's obstruction of the process is unprecedented territory and the actions of the GOP to enable his corruption are equally unprecedented; at no point in our nation's history has a major political party allied with a foreign power against the Union. The facts are clear that Trump repeatedly invited foreign nations (sometimes hostile ones) to interfere with our election to help him gain the office and then to help him keep it; this is no less than an assault on the sovereignty of the country. A puppet leader to a foreign nation is a subversion of the democratic process, and the GOP is saying without equivocation that they would rather have power at the cost of our independence, to bend the knee to a foreign power and that nation's puppet, than have a fair election in which they might lose.
