No, Mr. Schlapp, I don't know that.

There's no single "charge" here, There's an array of criminal acts that has now -- through the guilty plea and sworn statement of Trump's own lawyer -- implicated Trump directly in a federal crime. And that's serious.
Nixon's critics wanted to impeach him over the illegal war in Cambodia, but articles on that issue went nowhere.

The House Judiciary Committee still advanced articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress. (Not treason!)
The investigation into Bill Clinton started as an inquiry into the failed Whitewater land deal and while Ken Starr found that to be a dead-end, he still produced enough evidence for House Republicans to impeach him on articles of obstruction of justice and perjury. (Not treason!)
You can pretend that unless the president is shown to have committed a literal act of treason nothing else matters, but that's simply not true.

He's already in serious legal jeopardy, Mr. Schlapp. You can lie to yourself all you want, but no one else is buying.
