"If abuse of power is not impeachable ... Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war," Schiff said.

More than absurd, it would be dangerous."

The most the fantasy-Trump could do would be to negotiate a treaty to sell Alaska. Unlike Clinton and Obama, and his Democrat supporters...who assumed the President could obligate the US to treaties just by his own stroke of his pen.
My guess is that Adam gave himself to them willingly.
You’re probably right.
