Maggie, of course we saw the whole thing on telly. Perhaps you think we're still in the Dark Ages, getting snippets fed to us in yesterday's papers. We have a choice of rolling 24-hour news channels and we see exactly what you see. I can find out about the ins and outs of your constitution just as easily as you can and it has been a matter of some interest to me. To assume that Brits automatically cannot comprehend what we see happening on the telly (which is only what you see too - remind me how far from Washington you live...) is, well... And there's ever such a slight but detectable undercurrent in your post that we Brits aren't quite as entitled to speak as freely about this as you are. And your constant insistence that Trump is a criminal is very puzzling to me. If you said that about anyone in this country charged with a serious crime before he'd even been tried, you would seriously jeopardise his being brought to trial at all. It is an untenable position. What he is accused of is a heinous crime. The Senate cannot bring about a CRIMINAL conviction (which you know already) and he cannot be sanctioned for a crime until he is found guilty in a ordinary court. For chrissake, the whole of our democracy is predicated on the rule of law. No short cuts, no what more do you need, no kangaroo courts, no lynchings. We are all very angry with Trump (though you have suffered more, obviously); he is not a uniquely-American problem. Why, he's given succour not only to the bloody idiot, a Trump-lite if ever there was one, who runs this country and who has arguably done us much more damage than Trump has done to the US, but also to the menace in the Kremlin. Everybody's angry. He's turned the world upside down. But we have to be patient. You are not showing that right now, which is going to be counterproductive, and if you think that we Brits "don't get it" as much as you Americans, then consider the unadorned input of at least one of your fellow countrymen in this and related threads...
