What was our government doing on January 21?



BC

Convening an impeachment trial of the President of the United States.

Attempting to bribe/extort a foreign head of state with public money to frame a political rival has consequences. Who knew?

I admire your tenacity in missing the point. :-)

By all means, spell it out for me. 

If your point is that the impeachment "distracted" the White House, that explains neither Trump's ability to focus on the parts of the epidemic that mattered to him (calling for a poorly implemented travel ban from China), nor explains why heads of HHS and other parts of the vast Executive Branch were also entirely engulfed by impeachment.

If your point is that convicting the President of impeachment would have left the Executive Branch with ineffectual leadership (Pence) in the midst of a emerging pandemic, I suppose the fact that Pence was named head of the Task Force suggests that the same guy would have done the job either way.

Or am I missing something because I'm not fully familiar with the Faux News talking points?
