According to the White House Pool Report, as provided to PoliticusUSA, “Today, President Donald J. Trump is playing golf with South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and two legendary professional golfers, Gary Player and Annika Sörenstam.”

As PoltiicusUSA’s Sarah Jones tweeted:

Republicans aren’t even trying to put forward a pretext that any impeachment trial would be fair.

If there would happen to be an impeachment trial, and the odds are good that Majority Leader McConnell will ignore any House impeachment of Trump, it will be a sham.

Republicans are playing a dangerous game that could cost them the Senate. Sacrificing the Senate to protect their criminal president could result in a loss of both the Senate and the White House in 2020.
