From the article..... Because, no matter how hard liberals try and convince you otherwise, the Trump presidency doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Republicans believe they’ve been living life under two sets of rules. Considering what previous administrations have gotten away with — and what many of the people now clamoring for impeachment helped them get away with — it’s difficult to blame them. Perhaps if Democrats and operatives within government hadn’t spent three years cooking up a fantastical Manchurian Candidate conspiracy to delegitimize Trump this impeachment inquiry might be playing out differently. As it stands now, the entire effort is drenched in partisanship. Which makes it extremely unlikely that many voters will be pried from their previously held positions. Nothing that’s been said during these hearings changes that fact.

How'd this writer slip through the cracks?

One could call earmarks “extortion”, couldn’t one? Congressman demands and gets him some PORK for his district as quid pro quo for voting for legislation...because he aims to gain politically by bringing home the bacon. or how about putting sweeteners into a bill to get Congress to vote for it.....clearly a corrupt BRIBE aimed at political gain

Someone realizes that this charade is destructive — to the Democrats — and they want it stopped. Its patently clear that Schiff is inept and dishonest and this whole show is a baseless and disgraceful attempt to railroad Trump out of office. And the American people know it.

When the FISA report is released the public blowback will only increase.

Dems stepped in a big pile of Schiff and will carry the stink around with them for a long time to come.

He’s setting you up to accept the false narrative that Trump will be ok in the senate because of partisan politics. The truth is Trump did nothing wrong. The Deep State has been relentlessly undermining this president since before he was elected
