True Conservative and Former Host of Game Show Who's Inside My Wife?: The Trump Impeachment Trial Is a Trial of All Republicans, Too

Another paragon of the French/Goldberg wing of the Republican Party.

"My simple test for all of us: What if President Barack Obama had engaged in precisely the same behavior?" former Republican Senator Jeff Flake asked his Senate GOP colleagues in a passionate Washington Post op-ed Friday, regarding President Donald Trump's upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

You mean what if Barack Obama were guilty of authorizing, and then seeking to hide his authorization of, an illegal CIA/FBI surveillance operation targeting a politician of the opposite party threatening to undo his legacy?

I mean, he is guilty of that.

Oh wait, Jeffy, that's not what you mean, is it?

"I know the answer to that question with certainty, and so do you," he continued. "You would have understood with striking clarity the threat it posed, and you would have known exactly what to do."

Flake wrote to his former Senate colleagues that not only is Trump on trial, but "so are you. And so is the political party to which we belong."
