The timeline below was posted to a FB group<\/a> today, but I wanted a more visual format to show how much nonsense\u00a0 the “impeachment was a distraction from this serious pandemic business” story is. I cross-referenced dates in the timeline with the number of US SARS-CoV-2 infections using archived data from Johns Hopkins through 23 March<\/a> and the dataset from COVID Tracking<\/a> (which is current but doesn’t go back far enough to provide correlation with the impeachment dates). There is some<\/em> overlap, but it’s not like Trump was completely focused on impeachment activity before 05 Feb. Campaign rallies<\/a> and golfing<\/a> were his choice distractions. Both of which continued well after the impeachment trial ended.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
