Oh no. It is when you get your ambassador killed over nothing, inclte riot and death, and lie about some video for weeks, that there seems to be a difference to many,
It is not about the political, every day, BS, it is about Malfeasance of Office..... lying, cheating and stealing and then getting caught. And even that is not so bad.
But, throw in the IRS thing and it looks like illegal use of power. It only matters what the People think, in self rule. The trick is to get our attention,
You look very weak to get caught trying to steal an election you have already won. Ask Nixon.
