Rep. Jamie Raskin: Trump’s ‘Showing Spectacular Disrespect for the Rule of Law’

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: “We believe this conduct is impeachable and should never take place again under our constitutional system. He believes his conduct is perfect and we know, and we know therefore that it will take place again and again. Indeed our report points out that this pattern of showing spectacular disrespect for the rule of law by inviting and welcoming foreign powers into our elections was in plain view in the 2016 presidential election. America remembers when then-candidate Donald Trump uttered the imperishably infamous words, Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, and just five hours later Russian agents moved to hack his political opponents computers as part of their continuing effort to upend the 2016 presidential campaign. As identified by the Justice Department, the Trump campaign had more than 100 contacts with Russian operatives over the course of that campaign and none of them were reported by the Trump campaign to law enforcement or national security agencies.”
