Its a chickenshit excuse and noone in American politics is scared of another politician. Fear is never a reason to do something you disagree with, its an excuse and a goddamn bad one.
The Republicans were shivering like scared dogs, fearing Donald Trump, as much unlike the Founders as can be imagined.
The real profile in courage in this impeachment was Doug Jones, who followed the example of the Founders when he faced down his fear of losing the next election.
