Obama gets away with this because so many progressives venerate leader loyalty and partisan gain above all else." (emphasis mine). Would "progressives" have been any less loyal to a President H. Clinton's continuation of the same policies? Trump and his supporters are no less culpable. Had Dennis Kuchinich's motion to impeach President G.W. Bush been successful, there would have been precedent to hold later administrations accountable. <br class=""><br class="">Midge O'Brien<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">--Original Message-----<br class="">From: Carl G.
