consider it that Trump's DC hotel and numerous other transparent ongoing business interests violated the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution he swore to uphold. He was "impeachable" as soon as he took his oath of office.
Belatedly, a lawsuit was filed about this but, when it happened there was no outrage; no real objection. He "got away with it".
During the campaign, he begged Russia to publicize Clinton's emails. They did. He got away with it.
He fired Comey and bragged about it to the Russians in the Oval Office. He got away with it.
He's told over 10,000 lies, slandered and threatened political opponents, had more staff and cabinet turnover than any *president in history, had his unqualified and dangerous family members given security clearances and defied legitimate Congressional requests and subpoenas. That just scratches the surface but, as to everything --- he's gotten away with it.
From the day he was born, he has never had to pay any price for his criminality, his immorality or his cowardice. Until that changes, he has no reason at all to obey the law, follow customs or give a damn what Democrats "demand". To expect otherwise is beyond foolish.

THEY had control of the House and Senate in his first 2 years and they were able to get what THEY wanted in exchange for him playing what-ever-the-hell game he wants to play. He would shit on their corn flakes every morning and they would line up and ask for more!
BUT.........
2018 came - a BLUE WAVE - and now we have the House and the shit is hitting the fan. They don't like it. So now they have to worry about covering their own asses - stay with IQ45 and go down or dump him and hope to survive the 2020 elections.
The HELL with them - may they ALL GO DOWN!
