I am not, I suspect, the only one to be underwhelmed by the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump in the US Senate.
It’s not that I don’t think the President is guilty of abuse of power and covering it up. I do. It’s obvious. Trump is a disgrace to his office, and semi-literate into the bargain, which is not a good look for the Leader of the Free World. Moreover, the central charge, that he withheld vital military aid from Ukraine while pressuring the country’s leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, in order to dig dirt on the son of one of his principal political rivals, is plainly unlawful.
