I absolutely disagree.
You're not going to be able to divorce his other crimes from what he did to get into office. It will all be interrelated. And once we discover more evidence of him selling US policy for personal gain (gaining office or financial) or for assurances that info won't get out in order to protect himself, how the fuck do we walk away from that?
I understand not wanting to drag this country through what may appear to those of us who are completely ignorant and stupid to be political trials, but I think, once uncovered, the extent of the fuckery this man is engaged in will be overwhelming.

There needs to be actual evidence. I'm sure parties could force those out of office to go through endless investigation, but you think we're not already almost there when it comes to Republicans? That's no excuse for avoiding actually applying the fucking law.
If the level of criminality I think this asshole is engaged in is made public, it would be a crime not to go after him.
