    Fox News Contributor and Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel claimed Democrats did not include "bribery" or "quid pro quo" in their articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday because they realized that the charge could backfire and bring down their own front-runner.

    In a news conference, House Democrats formally accused Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress regarding his interactions with Ukraine, but they notably dropped some language that they have been using for weeks.

    House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff told NPR during an interview in his Congressional office just last week, "I don't think there's any question that the uncontested facts show this president solicited a bribe." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has accused the president of "extortion."

    "It suddenly occurred to some members of the Democratic Party that the incredibly widespread definition -- this very broad definition that they had to manufacture in order to ensnare Donald Trump in it -- could ensnare, for instance, their own frontrunner for the Democratic nomination," Strassel told Fox Nation host David Webb on "Reality Check" on Tuesday.

    :Roflmao:Roflmao:Roflmao

    I'm sorry but how open and blatant can their hypocrisy be!?

    Don't the Democrats realize the whole world is watching?

    Why are they serving up the election to the Republicans on a proverbial "Silver Platter"?

    I believe they have a surprise strategy/tactic up their collective sleeve.

    DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!

    As hypocritical as the Pharisees were during Christ's ministry when He walked amongst them.

    Democrats don't want to name the crime they're charging Trump with? Instead, just calling it "abuse of power"? Imagine a prosecutor taking someone to court and charging them with "abuse of citizenship."

    Corruption is just some degenerate taking a bribe or lying about a political opponent. When a party leadership becomes fundamentally corrupt, as the Democrats have become, it shows they want nothing less than to tyrannically rule America. Indeed, the Democrat party is the enemy of America.
