It’s not every day when a former White House chief of staff implicates a former president — under penalty of perjury — in an impeachable offense.

Over the weekend, the allegations returned to the fore, and for good reason. The New York Times reported on Saturday:

John F. Kelly, who served as former President Donald J. Trump’s second White House chief of staff, said in a sworn statement that Mr. Trump had discussed having the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies investigate two F.B.I. officials involved in the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. Mr. Kelly said that his recollection of Mr. Trump’s comments to him was based on notes that he had taken at the time in 2018. Mr. Kelly provided copies of his notes to lawyers for one of the F.B.I. officials, who made the sworn statement public in a court filing.

    but like, hasn’t he committed multiple felonies that generally do end up with people in jail?

    I’m take that seriously when the GOP starts complaining about all the other rich people who regularly do shit like this and face no consequences.

    You’re taking Democratic corruption seriously only after Republicans eliminate their corruption. You are a defender and champion of corruption, just as long as it’s people in your party.

    The fact that you think that’s different from partisan corruption basically everywhere is laughable.

    Are you a child? I try not to get into arguments with children.
