Bad Things Presidents Have Done

In the course of drawing up articles of impeachment, the House Judiciary Committee brought in legal experts to testify on whether President Trump’s dealings with the Ukraine constitute an impeachable offense.  They certainly do, said all three law professors.  Michael Gerhardt of the University of North Carolina went so far as to say that what Trump did was “worse than the misconduct of any prior president.”
