For months now, the Trump administration has known that it was going to have a hard time winning the election. While it was closer than Democrats hoped, Joe Biden prevailed by a significant margin.
The Republicans had multiple contingency plans in place following Biden’s win. There have been lawsuits filed in a number of states. The president even tried to convince Michigan electors to change their votes for him.

Whistleblower Gate just blew up right into Trump's soft spot: Bribery.
A president cannot bribe or accept bribes. He cannot order others to do so on his behalf.
Yes, that's right. In addition to the constitutional standard that lists bribery as a cause for impeachment, President Trump’s Ukraine whistleblower problem just got a lot worse.

Needless to say yesterday was a YUGE news day in Washington, D.C., and it was hard to stay on top of every story that broke during the day.

The deal has been a political lightning rod since it was hatched in October 2016.

Prosecutors have discretion to low-ball charges as justice requires, and are ethically bound to do so. Sessions says to throw the book at suspects instead. This is bad for decent-minded prosecutors and corrodes public trust in government.
