The WaPo editors offer a succinct appraisal (in the form of an appeal) of Republican disdain for their constitutional duties regarding the flagrant abuse of power and contempt of Congress that Trump has shown.
He's already in the conversation for the most corrupt president in our history, and that's before we get a really good look at his money laundering and bribe-taking, by looking at his financial records. Multiple members of his campaign staff are in jail, multiple members of his cabinet have resigned under a cloud of scandal.
Let's assume a scenario whereby Joe Biden wins next November. And let's then assume that Republicans keep control of the Senate and then win control of the House in 2022.
They will impeach Biden.
On what charge? Burisma, maybe. Maybe on some colossal nothingburger. Anyone remember Benghazi? Fast and Furious? The Tan Suit?
For the GOP, the Constitution and their responsibilities therein are simply rules to adapt to any situation that allows them to "win."
They are betraying their oaths of office.
