'He told Fox the same month that withholding the Taiwan sale gave him a “very good negotiating chip.”' That sounds one baby step away from what he got impeached for the first time. No specific quid pro quo, but "negotiating chip" sure implies one.
Might the problem needing to be solved be one of language? "Win" can mean "unequivocal victory" (like: "we put 1,000 into that slot machine and got out 10,000) or "we took a win (however small), like, we put 100,000 pennies into that slot machine and we got a win of 1. We won!" Similarly, "rules" can mean "rules are the borders of the road we're on" just as it can mean "we've got this 4x4 and are just going to drive around this traffic jam by cutting across Mary's fields". The guard rails exist for a reason. For another reason, so do 4x4s. With that in mind, the problem to be solved might also be the question of how to use language to solve these social dimensions of language. Keep at it! We'll get there together.
Is Mitch McConnell currently capable of leading anyone or anything? Recent video from the Agriculture Committee shows a confused McConnell being prompted by staff members to vote “Yea” on the Farm Bill.
Good work, ma’am. Thank you for this.

HUH? ".... hours before Xi arrived, a group of Republican senators led by Mitch McConnell" No explanation or snark about Mitch?
