But apparently, there's enough there to conclude that this is serious and it needs to be addressed.

And while it may be unfair, a double standard for sure when it comes to Republicans and this kind of behavior, especially the President, it's not going to be credible unless he steps down and gets out of the way. Otherwise, it becomes a sacrifice of a senate seat we can't afford to lose.
