OPINION: When Russian leader Vladimir Putin jails or poisons rivals or journalists or even invades a neighboring country, it’s not all that shocking. After all, the Russian president was a high-ranking agent in the Soviet KGB and has shown little inclination to change his stripes while presiding over the kleptocracy that is modern Russia.

Along with congressional lawmakers, Mr. Trump has called for impeaching several U.S. district judges who have issued orders blocking his administration from carrying out key policies.
