Forcing your opponent to live by their own rules is the surest way to reveal their hypocrisy.
Bill Clinton was impeached for entirely the wrong reasons, and in doing so, poisoned the impeachment process forever. He actually committed what could be called REAL treason, by revealing a number of state secrets to the Communist Chinese to make political gains. Much like the current regime now squatting in the Oval Office.
But none dare call it treason.
