"What sounds more believable? That career diplomats with everything to lose would make up a story implicating the most powerful man in America? Or that the president’s butt-dialling lawyer was involved in something nefarious? I wish this would be easier!"

In fact, the Founders had a broader conception of bribery than what’s in the criminal code. Their understanding was derived from English law, under which bribery was understood as an officeholder’s abuse of the power of an office to obtain a private benefit rather than for the public interest. This definition not only encompasses Trump’s conduct—it practically defines it. |

I know, right?! That's the part that gets me. The founders had this particular circumstance in mind when the drafted the actual Constitution. No need to got to various laws over the years. Trmp violated the actual Constitution that he swore to uphold. Granted, I realize that he didn't read or understand it...but still. |
