I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the United States Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk.

JD Vance just met with Alice Weidel, the head of the anti-immigration, nationalist Alternative for Germany party.
Vance is the most senior U.S. official ever to meet with a leader from the party.
