IOW the country is in the crapper right now. Consistent with my assessment of the situation.

Yes, that is true. Even if no laws were broken (which is obviously not the case) it takes incredibly bad judgment to use the national security apparatus on your political opponents (even "by the book" as someone once said)

I talked with a dem family, card carrying union guy, now retired, on impeachment day. We were both stuck at a car repair waiting room. I asked him about impeachment and although he was not a Trump fan, he said that all the Dems care about is their own power, not people like him. He said the investigations were a waste of money. I think those folks are starting to realize that the corrupt pursuit of power will eventually destroy our country.
