Look at what republicans said about the integrity of the white house and president, and how telling aides to lie and obstruct records and justice is not okay. It sounds like they were talking about Trump and what's going on now. This will be a constant dialog during impeachment proceedings, so you might as well see it and apply it to whether they can get away from their own words and ideals.

I'm curious about some of the quotes in that report. Particularly the following by Senator Grassley:
"It is clear to me that the president committed serious crimes when he coached his secretary, Betty Currie, and when he misled his aides Sidney Blumenthal and John Podesta … These actions weren’t just outrageous and morally wrong. They were also illegal. They were a direct assault on the integrity of the judicial process."Sidney Blumenthal served as assistant and senior advisor to Bill Clinton from August 1997 until January 2001. Following the inauguration of GW, Blumenthal entered the private sector and wrote books about his service in Bubba's admin. In 2007, Blumenthal joined the Hillary Clinton p**********l campaign as a senior advisor. While on a trip to advise Clinton on her p**********l campaign, Blumenthal was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Nashua, New Hampshire, on January 7, 2008. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DWI charge.
After her January 2009 appointment as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton wanted to hire Blumenthal. However, Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, blocked his se******n due to lingering anger among President Barack Obama's aides over Blumenthal's role in promoting negative stories about Obama during the Democratic primary. Blumenthal was a Clinton lackey through and through.
American political analysts characterized Blumenthal as "the most pro-Clinton writer on the planet." In Salon.com, Dwight Garner wrote that Blumenthal's pieces as Washington correspondent of The New Yorker "were so unabashedly pro-Clinton that they quickly became the butt of countless jokes."
John Podesta is an American political consultant who served as White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton from October 20, 1998 until January 20, 2001 and as Counselor to President Barack Obama from January 1, 2014 until February 13, 2015. Before that he served as the White House Staff Secretary and White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations for the Clinton Administration between January 20, 1993 until October 20, 1998. John Podesta is the central figure in the leak of Hillary Clinton's emails.
In March 2016, the personal Gmail account of John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff and chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 U.S. p**********l campaign, was c*********d in a data breach, and some of his emails, many of which were work-related, were stolen. Cybersecurity researchers as well as the United States government attributed responsibility for the breach, which was accomplished via a spear-phishing attack, to the hacking group Fancy Bear,
allegedly affiliated with Russian intelligence services.Blumenthal and Podesta were rivals, they had their own feud trying to curry favor with Bill Clinton during his presidency and Hillary during her incredibly corrupt and dismal stint as SecState.
Neither of these two democrat hacks had a damn thing to do with Trump, his campaign or his presidency.
Ya find a glaring error like this in the pages of a foreign l*****t news service, it throws suspicion on the entire piece.
