It’s 47 years later, and we have a new, more damning smoking gun:

“Trump’s Tweet Attacking Pence Came Right After Learning His VP's Life Was In Danger” huffpost.com/entry/trump-pe…

Chris Wallace: Would you vote to convict Trump?

Liz Cheney: “What we already know does constitute the gravest violation of his oath of office by any president in the history of the country”
