I understand. They manipulated this law/ reg to give the guy cover. My point is, he did essentially the same thing the Watergate plumbers did, although the plumbers spied on the DNC and the WB spied on the activities of the White House, which in my mind, is a thousand times worse.
This law and the rules for Congress for impeachment are not that old. I think they were written by Alcee Hastings (Commie FL) in 1989.
