Rep. Adam Schiff and President Trump have this much in common: They both insist there is no middle ground in this impeachment debate. Either Trump must be impeached and removed, says Schiff, or Trump did nothing wrong, says the president.

This is a false dichotomy, and congressional Republicans should reject it. A presidential action can be wrong but not impeachable. This is almost too obvious to say. Presidents abuse power constantly, and the proper response is not usually impeachment.
