The narrative the resistance needs to sell in the Ukraine saga is straightforward: A sitting president abused his foreign policy powers to advance his personal political interests. Despite three years of constant media attention to the Mueller report and the now-debunked theory that President Trump colluded with Russia in 2016, support for impeachment remained anemic. The Ukraine saga offers Trump’s detractors a new opportunity in the only court that matters for impeachment: that of public opinion.
Yet somehow, the Left just can’t let go of its debunked Russia conspiracy theory. And to its detriment, rather than focusing all its fire at Trump’s real corruption, or at his smearing of his appointees who tried to keep him from it, it is instead heralding the most corrupt smear merchants of the Russia saga.
