Come on. If Trump had done this, the MSM would have been fine with it. The Democrats in Congress would have let it slide.

“The Democrats in Congress would have let it slide.”

I didn’t see anything in your writing that indicated you were trying to be sarcastic when the wording might have been construed that way. If my assumption is wrong, I apologize.

If you were serious, where have you been since 2016? They’ve gone after him for anything they thought they could float.

In December 2016, Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Chris Coons, Ben Cardin, and Jeff Merkley introduced a bill that would require the president of the United States to divest any assets that could raise a conflict of interest, including a statement that failure to divest such assets would constitute high crimes and misdemeanors “under the impeachment clause of the U.S. Constitution”

Immediately after his inauguration, The Independent and The Washington Post each reported on efforts already underway to impeach Trump, based on what the organizers regard as conflicts of interest arising from Trump’s ability to use his political position to promote the interests of “Trump”-branded businesses, and ongoing payments by foreign entities to businesses within the Trump business empire as a violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause.

The Washington Post further noted the creation of ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org by Free Speech For People and RootsAction, two liberal advocacy groups. On February 9, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D, NY) had filed a resolution of inquiry titled “H.Con.Res. 5” to force the Trump administration to turn over documents relating to potential conflicts of interest and to ties with Russia.

On January 17, 2019, new accusations involving Trump surfaced, claiming he instructed his long-time lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie under oath surrounding Trump’s involvement with the Russian government to erect a Trump Tower in Moscow

A formal impeachment inquiry was launched on September 24, 2019, as a response to the Trump–Ukraine scandal, in which Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani pressed the Ukrainian government repeatedly since at least May 2019 to investigate Hunter Biden, the son of 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden.

In an October 8, 2019 letter to House Democratic leaders, the White House stated it would not cooperate with “[their] partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.” The eight-page letter was widely interpreted by legal analysts as containing political rather than legal arguments.

On December 18, 2019, the House of Representatives impeached Donald Trump almost entirely along party lines,

Donald Trump was impeached for the second time on January 13, 2021, one week before his term expired. It was the fourth impeachment of a U.S. president, and the second for Trump after his first impeachment in December 2019.

And the worst of it is it has nothing to do with criminal acts which is why they haven’t been able to find him guilty of anything they have pushed. It’s all to keep him from running again because he scares the hell out of ‘em.
