So that's it? That's all there is? After all the talk of obstruction of justice, collusion with Russia, bribery, extortion, profiting from the Presidency, and more, House Democrats have reduced their articles of impeachment against President Trump to two: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
It's enough to suspect that Democrats understand they are offering the weakest case for impeachment since Andrew Johnson, that the public isn't convinced, and so they simply want to get it over with.
Whatever happened to bribery and extortion? Democrats spent weeks talking them up as the crimes of Mr. Trump's Ukraine interventions.
Have Democrats concluded that Mr. Trump's actions aren't illegal under statutes that have specific meaning?
"Without lawful cause or excuse, President Trump directed Executive Branch agencies, offices and officials not to comply with those subpoenas," the article charges.
House Democrats are refusing even to fight in court, claiming impeachment gives them plenary power to see all documents and any witnesses they want.
Despite one-sided lobbying by the impeachment press, the polls show that a majority opposes removing Mr. Trump from office.
