still trying to conflate law with rules. the rule most certainly existed.
but to the bigger issue, the OLC said the complaint was crap and didn't meet the elements of the actual statute. they said the proper avenue was to report it to the DoJ CD.
Subsequently, the DoJ CD ruled there was no criminal violation of campaign finance laws in the call as suggested by the complainant.
so 2 rulings by the DoJ:
1. did not meet the statutory requirements of an urgent concern
2. call did not violate any statute
now, you can impeach someone for nothing. it's a political process. so if you want to impeach him, be my guest. personally, think it's a dangerous precedent but you do you.
going back to the rule change on the reporting. if you don't think it's odd that it was changed that's fine. I do think it's odd and furthermore, when asked WHY they changed it they (reporters) were told to go pound sand. I think an explanation is owed. and it could be 100% coincidental and there could be a good reason for it. but I'd like to see that rationale.
