Harvard University professor of constitutional law Laurence Tribe has a devastating article in Newsweek, in which he demolishes pro-Russian, corrupt demagogue Donald "Impeachable Me" Trump. An excerpt:
"After just one week of public impeachment hearings, Donald Trump has unmistakably emerged as America's anti-president, the very model of the charlatan George Washington warned might be overtaken by 'the insidious wiles of foreign influence.'Read the whole article by Professor Tribe. It's a masterful, detailed explanation of Trump's corrupt motives and his compromised position.
We have learned that Trump is so obsessed with the legitimacy of his 2016 election—and so terrified of becoming a private citizen (subject to indictment and imprisonment) after the 2020 election—that he embraces a conspiratorial myth of Ukrainian responsibility for Russian lawlessness hatched by an oligarch in Vladimir Putin's orbit. We have heard an official's first-hand account of a president so beholden to Putin that he blithely dismisses Russia's aggression as not 'big stuff' compared with a public announcement by Ukraine's new president to the effect that, contrary to fact, its government is investigating (nonexistent) corruption by Trump's political rival."
