Democrats’ latest impeachment line: Investigating corruption is ‘election interference’

Here is what you need to understand the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearings on Monday: According to Democrats, any investigation of possible Democratic corruption, or of Democratic collusion with foreign officials to interfere in our elections, is itself impeachable interference in our elections.

Seriously.

Numerous problems mar the impeachment process — not least the rush to judgment. Democrats have been rushing congressional proceedings until they catch up with the judgment that the president must be impeached, a judgment House Democrats have already drawn. The haste rubs many Americans the wrong way.

Democrats have also had trouble identifying a crime. That’s why they appear to have settled on a vague “abuse of power” standard that would make every future president impeachable. Without being able to articulate egregious executive misbehavior, they are nevertheless racing ahead.

'Investigating corruption' is election interference, but trying to impeach a duly-elected president to keep him from being re-elected in 2020 is NOT??

They are trying to overthrow our government, this is a coup d'etat. Treason!
Don't want We The People to vote for our candidate because it stops the foreign aid money train. Their basically saying "How dare Trump investigate our misuse of the people's tax dollars"

When it is targeted towards your main political rival and using a foreign power to achieve, it is impeachable
