Fact: all the media needs to do is play video of Trump incriminating himself. He stood on the WH lawn and admitted he asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. He also said that Giuliani was doing a great job 'uncovering corruption' about the Bidens. Then he said China should investigate the Bidens, too!

Fact: 'Biden corruption' is a conspiracy theory that's been debunked. Even Trump's former DHS advisor Bassert was frustrated that Giuliani (and others) were peddling this Krazy Kool-Aid, and that Trump believed them over our own Intelligence Agencies.

Fact: We don't want foreign nations meddling in our elections. Even if it's "just" disinformation it's still a breach of national sovereignty and security. When the president invites that meddling it becomes an Impeachable offense.

Fact: Even Judge Napolitano and Shepard Smith (also Chris Wallace?) from Fox News have made the argument that Trump has crossed the line.

And honestly, why you guys bother, is the bigger mystery. But I read because I find your rebuttals and explanations instructive, so there's that.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Watergate looms in the back of my mind. Republicans roundly supported Nixon until the tapes came to light, and then it was Republicans who forced Nixon to resign. They had "the out" they needed. I'm hoping that last minute change of mind can happen now, again.
