Lamar Alexander's "inappropriateness"...

[kentuck]

Although there were only two charges with the impeachment, how could anyone not judge those charges in the big picture? How could they forget everything Trump has done in the last three years?

Granted, some of it could be labeled "inappropriate" - like the juvenile name-calling that he likes to do. How he sometimes tweets racist crap and lies like a rug. Those are inappropriate.

But Alexander, and other Senators, should be able to distinguish "inappropriate" behavior from illegal or unconstitutional behavior. It is illegal and unconstitutional to solicit favors from foreign countries and to attempt to bribe them for your own personal political benefit. Even if it is a Democrat that is the victim.

It's sad and disappointing to see Lamar Alexander and others attempt to minimize this serious Constitutional violation with such language.

1. Lamar Alexander has probably already accepted a position as a lobbyist.

And I agree with your excellent summary. Especially because if HRC, or any Democrat, were the President, the GOP would be outraged about the same conduct that they excuse here.
