Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power."
That's a lie.
Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power.
Wannabe kings don't like it, but that's how separation of powers works.

Add destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice to the charges then.

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

So either Schumer agreed to fold like a lawn chair and is using these spineless chumps as cover or he is incapable of enforcing meaningful cohesion and discipline among Dems when they have everything to gain from being united. Either way it means he is unfit leadership for this moment.
