It is unprecedented because it is expressly forbidden by the constitution -- the only specifically enumerated cause of action for impeachment and removal.
WSJ: “.. The deal marked something unprecedented in American politics: a foreign government official taking a major ownership stake in an incoming U.S. president's company."

Chuck Schumer is a disaster for the party. Everyone knows he’s a disaster for the party. He’s unpopular with the Dem base. If Dem Senators wanted to push him out of leadership, they could. But they don’t want to because it’s a country club, not a party that has the goal of achieving policy outcomes.

Folks, if you are in the vicinity of an ICE raid or kidnapping, and you see a truck with a satellite dish on top of it, (aka a "Stingray"), please know that this DHS technology mimics a cell tower, pulls in cell phones in radius on a signal, and can seize data off your phone without your knowledge.
