It's too bad the Democrats do not have a leader as savvy as I am!

Pelosi.... "We have chosen not to impeach Donald Trump, even though we believe he has committed impeachable offenses. We are quite aware that our colleagues across the aisle in the Senate will not convict him even in the face of mounting evidence of his guilt. So we will leave it up to the American people to remove him from office by voting him out a year from November."


I'd rather see the Democrats do what's right and impeach him if he deserves it, rather than make a scummy deal like that because the Republicans refuse to convict him.

Frankly, I'm sick of that, as Trump's whole schtick seems to be barely paying attention to the law as long as the end justifies the means. That's all that's important to him. Following rules and telling the truth are just things that get in his way.

I'm sick of hearing him defining what is or what isn't factual based on his own desires.

And I'm sick of people who I might otherwise respect suggesting this is all okay. Sick of Trump's new world order where things only are what he says they are.

I don't want to be part of that, even to get rid of him.

I agree
Trump really gave the Dems no choice but to impeach
This wasn't fueled by Dem hate although its there. They had to impeach due to Trumps outrageous conduct

However, correct me if I'm wrong, but Nixon had enough support to beat impeachment at first. However, as more and more bad news came out, some Republican senators flipped and the whole house of cards quickly fell down.


It's crazy to consider that in the 1972 election, Nixon won 49 states. By the summer of 1974, Gallup had his approval at 25%.

Yup

The NYT has a story out about Adam Schiff getting an early account of the whistleblower’s complaint.

The feels like a story that is going to make the right wing tin foil hat crowd LOSE THEIR MINDS.

Both sides get leaks. Both sides use leaks. Not much they can make of it unless it was an illegal document release he initiated himself.

I keep reading this everywhere.
When somebody mentions
impeachment, ask them what
Trump would be impeached
for. You won't get an answer.
There's no specific reason, none.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It wasn’t a leak.

Quote:
The C.I.A. officer approached a House Intelligence Committee aide with his concerns about Mr. Trump only after he had had a colleague first convey them to the C.I.A.’s top lawyer. Concerned about how that initial avenue for airing his allegations through the C.I.A. was unfolding, the officer then approached the House aide. In both cases, the original accusation was vague.

The House staff member, following the committee’s procedures, suggested the officer find a lawyer to advise him and file a whistle-blower complaint. The aide shared some of what the officer conveyed to Mr. Schiff. The aide did not share the whistle-blower’s identity with Mr. Schiff, an official said.


Everything was done the right way. But don’t be surprised if some lobotomized righties are calling this the biggest scandal in history on Hannity tonight.
