It’s not every day when a former White House chief of staff implicates a former president — under penalty of perjury — in an impeachable offense.

Over the weekend, the allegations returned to the fore, and for good reason. The New York Times reported on Saturday:

John F. Kelly, who served as former President Donald J. Trump’s second White House chief of staff, said in a sworn statement that Mr. Trump had discussed having the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies investigate two F.B.I. officials involved in the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. Mr. Kelly said that his recollection of Mr. Trump’s comments to him was based on notes that he had taken at the time in 2018. Mr. Kelly provided copies of his notes to lawyers for one of the F.B.I. officials, who made the sworn statement public in a court filing.

    Anything to prevent “we don’t want to live under a 2 party dictatorship anymore” from being an option, right?

      Definitely don’t want to suppress that fact, not disagreeing with you.

        That’s been my position throughout, the disagreement came from the other person assuming my stance because it didn’t align with theirs. Much appreciated.
