This is AG Barr saying that Trump's crimes are worse than Nixon's crimes.

Exactly.

The White House has reached out to outside lawyers for impeachment counsel.

One of the lawyers they reached out to is Trey Gowdy.

"The notion that you can withhold information and documents from Congress no matter whether you are the party in power or not in power is wrong. Respect for the rule of law must mean something, irrespective of the vicissitudes of political cycles.”

Gowdy is on the team now. Who knows why, seems like an awful career move, but hey, not my problem.

Why is it an impeachable offense?

Changed his mind, I guess. Sort of like Syria and Turkey.

He changes his mind all the time. No strategy, no backbone. Just impulsivity.

Obstruction of justice. They're basically thumbing their noses at the checks and balances outlined in the Constitution.

Yeah, but Gowdy doesn't have a career right now to wreck.

I mean it's basically Trump asserting himself as king. L'etat, c'est moi.

He's said that he is willing to testify. Do you think he's lying?

Is he testifying?

"We want to impeach Trump. We know he committed some infraction that we will articulate later. We have a whistleblower that has said he did something (shhh.... we have known about him for some time now, but we want the public to think we found out about him when they did). But we are not going to take a vote to move forward (shhh.... we don't want our red-state Democrats to go on record with a vote and we don't want to give the Republicans in the House any authority during this process). We are going to make the rules. With no input from the Republicans. And, we are going to conduct all interviews, depositions, and hearings behind closed doors. And, we really want you, the public, to get on board with our impeachment so we only want you to have the information that we leak (because God forbid, we should release any information beneficial to Trump). And, if the whistleblower testifies, his identity will remain a secret because in our process, the accused does not get to face the accuser. Remember, we make the rules. We know he is guilty of something, and we'll get to the bottom of it eventually. Remember that we will show you the evidence (that WE want you to see). In the meantime, keep in mind that we have an election in 13 months. This process has NOTHING to do with the election. Believe us. Trust us."

So you actually haven't read any of the actual documents that the rest of us are talking about? Didn't watch the tape of the POTUS? Do that, and then get back to us.

Bottom line, the President is basically saying that the DOJ guidelines are that he cannot be indicted, because impeachment is the Constitutionally mandated remedy, and yet, he is thumbing his nose at impeachment because he is above the law.

His lawyers argued that the SCOTUS Nixon (8-0) ruling was in error.

OK, then.
