president of the united states can leverage official acts, military assistance, white house meetings to get an investigation of a political rival. are we prepared to say, well, you know, i guess that's just what we should expect in a president of the united states? i don't think we want to go there. i don't think our founding fathers would have wanted us to go there. indeed, i think when the founding fathers provided a remedy, that remedy being impeachment, they had the very concern that a president of the united states may betray the national security interests of the country for personal interests. they put that remedy in the constitution not because they wanted to willy-nilly overturn elections. no, because they wanted a powerful anti-corruption mechanism when that corruption came from the highest office in the land. we're adjourned.
