The Times pointed out that nothing they turned up is prosecutable today. The last significant shenanigan, as I recall, was 1997.

But it makes me think about impeachment. The Founders may simply have assumed that, because nobody is above the law, actual crimes by a President could be prosecuted the usual way; and they added impeachment to deal with failings of character, honesty, integrity, running out the clock on the statute of limitations, and generally dealing in bad faith.

A President can be impeached for being a slimeball, and in that regard, the Times article is the cherry atop the shit sundae we already knew about. Trump's term in office so far has been one long impeachable offense.

Consider that Trump is executive over the IRS. Just taking the job of President knowing he'd cheated "his own" IRS out of hundreds of millions of bucks...now that's world-class bad faith, and a conflict of interest you could tow a planet through.

(Sorry, I watched this DrWho episode last night that involved the TARDIS towing the Earth across the galaxy, which was magnificently absurd, and the image just popped into my head.)
