Seth Meyers unpacks how Trump's crimes go way beyond the articles of impeachment

On Tuesday, House Democrats introduced two articles of impeachment against President Trump, alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Though it's good that the never ending impeachment hearings have finally prompted some action, the host of Late Night with Seth Meyers still couldn't help but feel that Trump got off lightly.

"It's not even hard to find the crimes with this guy," said Meyers. "It's like a Where's Waldo where Waldo is right in the middle of the map with a giant bag of cash in one hand and giving you a finger with the other one."

Meyers also noted the trend of "incoherent word puke" that seems to be all the rage amongst Republicans trying to defend Trump right now.

"They don't have a coherent defence, so they just throw out a string of random buzzwords as quickly as they can and hope people buy it," said Meyers, using congressman Jim Jordan's rapid fire questioning at Monday's House Judiciary hearing as an example.

"Oh my god, man, are you reading the evidence or auctioning it off?"
