Against what law? Impeachable? You've got to be kidding! You do realize that Barack Obama did the same thing as Trump when he was in office? Why wasn't THAT an impeachable offense?
Obama did nothing even close...
The Mother Jones article came out on Oct. 31, 2016...eight days before the election!
Where's mention of the Pee Tape? We all knew Trump had business dealings with the Russians.. that was a matter of public record.
Mother Jones? That was the best you could find?
If you read that article now...knowing who it was that paid for the Steele dossiers and how Steele and Glenn Simpson had spent months coordinating leaks of the dossiers to sympathetic members of the FBI and other intelligence service...you can see exactly how they set this whole thing up. Vouching for Steele's reliability by quoting those same sympathetic figures that Steele had been feeding his dossiers to for months to give the entire fiction a veneer of truth!
All of it coming out eight days before the election...just enough time to smear Donald Trump but not enough time for the scheme to be uncovered! This was sleazy politics at it's sleaziest!
But that was the point... It didn't get wide distribution or play. Compare that to how Comey handled "OH my Gosh, we found more emails on Huma's computer, too!" That got wall-to-wall coverage.
Now imagine if they did the opposite. They widely publicized how in hock Trump was to the Russians widely, and they treated the emails like it was, no big deal.
The thing was, Republicans and Democrats all knew how deeply Trump was involved in Russia, but they didn't want to say anything because they figured he was going to lose anyway. This was a profound mistake.
Now we've caught Trump doing it again.
