Two critical arguments are not being made in the impeachment hearings. Republicans assert that President Trump is genuinely concerned about corruption in Ukraine. What nonsense! Donald Trump is perhaps the most corrupt individual ever to hold public office in the U.S. His entire career has been a case study in corruption and deceit.
Secondly, withholding military support from Ukraine benefitted only two parties: Trump and Vladimir Putin.
And here is where the Democratic Party is making a critical mistake. If it does not incorporate corruptive practices (emoluments, tax fraud, etc.) and Trump’s unwavering support for a foreign, hostile power into articles of impeachment, then it will prove itself as inept as the Republican Party is corrupt.
