Impeachment

I started reading about efforts to impeach Donald Trump before he even took office. So it's hardly surprising that the Democrats did it. They could, so they did.

Is there any reason for it? Sure. They could, so they did.

There is no reason to pretend otherwise. All that matters at this point is winning and the Democrats assume they can't win in 2020 unless they cover Donald Trump with officially sanctioned stink. Perhaps this is the proper calculation.

Does precedent matter? Does anything matter? It doesn't appear so. This isn't Nancy Pelosi speaking, but it might as well be:


At this point, the Democrats start to lose control. Mitch McConnell has control now. He hasn't said exactly what he will do, but I'm guessing he'll find a way to make this effort as Pyrrhic a victory as it can be for the donks. And Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and the rest of these clowns deserve it.

The rumor is floating around the House may not forward the articles to the Senate. An interesting strategy, to say the least. If true, it would seem kind of like getting a participation trophy for being in the House if you're a Dem. You can go home and tell your district "look what I did" without having to explain the failure in the Senate.

Do we call this Impeachment Interruptus?

Seems to me that such (never sending) is exactly what Pelosi intends. She will try to make it look that the whole Republican Senate is "obstructing justice" and a "fair trail" but in the end will use "prosecutorial discretion" to decide the case is so weak as to be not worth the trouble. Either way, the longer this drags on the worse it gets for Dems.

actually, she's hoping that her friends in the media will badger McConnell into surrendering to her and chuck's demands...
it's all they got.

i dont think Mitch will bite. He's no Paul Ryan.
