If there's any guile to Pelosi slapping down impeachment now -- I don't personally think there is -- it's to slow walk the process such that impeachment proceedings are a dark cloud over DJT's head during the campaign.

I don't think Pelosi and the Dems have it in them to do it.

No way to get 67 votes in the Senate. Also I think in one tweet I saw in one of the debates maybe the Biden-Harris one, Russian interference was mentioned 0 times lol.

there's a jury selection congress. if the same were true of impeachment, my attitude towards it would be different.

recognizing the futility in some impeachment "inquiry" is different than being cool with obstruction of justice

its akin to people who vote for third party presidential candidates tbh. just because i held my nose and voted for clinton over trump doesn't mean i loved everything about clinton as a candidate. its a matter of pragmatism

there's no need for some grand jury inquiry. you have mueller's report which lays out your obstruction case for you. just a month ago, the house voted 332-95-1 to table/scrap impeachment

Nadler has to persuade a court to have access to underlying evidence that barr is covering up

The law says that impeachment is a persuasive argument to make as impeachment is an official judicial proceeding

everyone else is bending over so far

What good is the report if there's no accountability for the actions it describes? What is the precedent we're setting for future presidents who commit overt obstruction?

We've seen this movie before. Trump's not going to face accountability after his term either, because they'll say that's political suicide and the country just needs to move on (same reason Nixon was pardoned by Ford.)

its ultimately up to the people, for better or worse. if you're going to re-elect guys like gohmert into the house and graham/grassley/mcconnell in the senate, you're never going to have accountability. the constitution decides how to hold presidents accountable, and you have to rely on the senate/house to do their duty

in the meantime you have these dem house reps taking all these (ultimately) symbolic steps that they damn well know will amount to nothing purely as a political play. if the senate wont convict him, they're hoping to "try" trump before the public, and that in the face of whatever evidence they think they'll find, his voters will abandon him. its a fools errand

It worked with Nixon. A different time, to be sure, when we weren't as trained to be cheerleaders. But as revelations were made during the impeachment process, public support trended heavily towards removal. While I have no faith in McConnell, GOP Senators, or our partisan media outlets having a shred of objectivity towards such a process, regardless of public opinion, I'd rather they be forced into a decision with a fully informed public.

Strange that you can reach that conclusion when Mueller couldn’t.
actually, he did


Second, many obstruction cases involve the attempted or actual cover-up of an underlyingcrime.


The obstruction-of-justice statute most readily applicable to our investigation is 18 U.S.C.§ 1512( c )(2). Section 1512(c) provides:

(c) Whoever corruptly-

(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, orattempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object's integrity or availability foruse in an official proceeding; or

(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attemptsto do so,

finally, while after evaluating the evidence on the collusion/conspiracy charges, mueller had no qualms simply stated that they lack evidence to support culpability. but for whatever reason, was unable to come to the same conclusion on obstruction, after he laid out a bunch of trumps efforts to obstruct. and again as you know, he lacked the legal authority to actually accuse him of committing a crime

Strange that you can reach that conclusion when Mueller couldn’t.
to be fair, it was unclear which conclusion you were referring to, line 2 or line 3 of wine's post. i addressed line 3 pretty thoroughly, that even attempting obstruction is a crime (even if there is no underlying crime, and even if it was only an attempt to obstruct, regardless of outcome)

as to line 2, i addressed that as well, though not as thoroughly. mueller was not allowed to come to a conclusion on that matter, if that conclusion implicated the president. that he laid out several acts that could be considered attempts to obstruct, only to then say "well i cant rule it out but i'm not allowed to say that he's guilty"... it's about as heavy handed as he could possibly be

You are not getting the part in the law that says -

you only have to ATTEMPT to obstruct to be guilty of the crime of obstruction of justice -


you don't have to succeed - even the ATTEMPT - is a crime.

Trump tried like a motherfucker to fire Mueller - but his minions did not follow his orders because they knew it was a crime - or they just knew trump was a dumb-shit for trying.


This doesn't even point the fact out - that:


If Trump was innocent - why the fuck did he lie 24/7 about russia, instructed everyone else to lie for him. rewarded those who lied to the FBI and threatened those who - were TRUTHFUL TO THE FBI -


Sure - trump is an innocent man.

The impeachment would have nary affect on the election outcome & Nadler knows it without being told. That's why he unconditionally pushing it. Pelosi is continually priming the pump, keeping the little shit on a short leash, but, she will turn him loose in dramatic fashion.

(They're) only after the (I)---it's more than enough for them. It'll drive the Base maniacal, yes, where we have been since Day 1, hence the lack of effect. The fear that the new Dem's from Trump previously won districts will bite back is poppy cock. As long as he's not convicted in the Senate they'll remain in the Dem column:::"He kinda got what he deserved and he didn't get thrown out. I can live with it. I'm making money hand-over-fist with the guy and I'll make up my mind shortly after pulling the curtain across where nobody can see what I'm doing come next November."

The old man didn't make the trouble. EC has been talking out of school for a week now. He had it comin'. Trump's wife laid the law down early on:::"You hit him he's going to hit back 10x harder." No free shots. He'd been duly warned.

You wish a maelstrom from the other side because an old orange man plays like a child.

Oh, absolutely the old man can get down in the shit & blood, that's where he wins. Before Trump R & D alike didn't have to get down in that shit, they just did what professional rasslers do...put on an act then go behind the curtain and whack the gate twixt 'em. I had no fuckin' idea Bush2 & Hussein's wife had a mutual respect for another, never saw the fuckin' pictures till AFTER Trump was elected and pulled back all the curtains and we saw where & how that sausage was being made. They didn't want us to see. "We'll act like we hate each other, okay, George?"

"Sure."

I'm the stupid fuck that bought it along with lots & lots of others who still can't see it, pg.

Bush,Clinton,Bush,Hussein,Clin...Trump. But, you couldn't stand it. You figured he'd be a punching bag that wouldn't punch back, and if he did you'd pull that race card you'd been leaning since the first time it worked.

It's more important for the Dems to exercise their power (of impeachment) vs the risk of losing the House.

Trash/Barr/Repugs have totally ignored/violated the Constitution to empower the Exec as "unitary executive".

And the political whores on SCOTUS are cheering him on.

Let's say Dems impeach AND vote him guilty, then Dems lose the House and Trash is reelected, then American is done, finished, fucked beyond repair.

To bury America finally, the Article V Convention of States writes a new Constitution with the Exec as supreme, unchallenged power.

They just won the House precisely on promising to be a check on Trump. Impeachment wouldn't hurt or do them any good.

The Dems didn't just luck out in 2018. They blew republicans in republicans districts out of the water.

Democrats flipped the house by winning seats by very slim margins in areas that went for trump. Those seats will be vulnerable if the democrat house spends the next 18 months fucking around on a pointless impeachment hearing.

I read that white Repug suburban women are turning against the Orange Turd Fraud

Trash's cult base is white male racists, and his financial base is BigCorp and wealthies who will be requested, successfully, to pay Trash back for the oligarchy's scam tax cut.

Can the tax cut beneficiaries buy Trash (and themselves) a 2nd term? My guess is they will try, since Trash, if required, will veto any bills that hurt the oligarchy.

Shoulda peeled off there & thrown that $ into the Senate contests. Dogpiling the House like that kept the Senate safe, even increased our raw margin & we expelled a couple (double agents) in the process.

You can check the results in the link I posted. Some were less than 10k, some by 20k or more.

The point is that you're trying to make it sound like the only reason the dems won was because of republicans when in fact their side was just as hyped up to vote and voring turnout for republicans were higher than last midterm election.

Overall I think you are wrong or giving Trump supporters too much credit by saying they are going to lose if the pursue impeachment.

Yes, it's a false narrative, it's trying to talk them out of impeaching him. It don't stand the reality test and has not from the start of it. It's wishful thinking, and a thought process to help "us" enjoy this time with the old man + it enables us to sleep at night, but, it's mistaken and an immature tact.

We fully understand the stain of (I). That's why we seared Clinton with it. We knew what it mean't regardless of how Media refused to apply that branding iron to him. WE KNEW & it was enough, we didn't need Media to punish him. Same with them, they're just as keen to punishing Trump as we were to punishing Clinton. We dished it, we're gonna have to take it, cuz daddy-O's, it's comin' straight for us.

No. You pissed that away twixt Election Day & Inauguration Day. You made your bed; to harass & overthrow his Presidency. You met him at the door with that Steele dossier smearing him with the pissing allegations. Those old white fucks knew exactly what they were doing, CNN/MSNBC were alerted all along the line. Me? I'd a called Security and had them escorted from the White House, one & all. "Don't come back on property." But, the "Walter Mitty" in him prevented this. They hung around poisoning everything around themselves. He's just now getting around to letting Coats walk. Laughed right at the President at that Symposium months ago and the old man didn't say a word. Me? I'd a done him like he did Comey...take him off that flight at LAX. "You're on your own dime. Don't come back on property."

I absolutely did not.
He won the presidency. I held my nose and voted for Clinton. But because of the Orange past, I doubted he could run a country but I certainly gave in to hoping that he would do what he promised. I fought tooth and nail that this is a democracy that Trump won and is our president, and that the very worst thing we could do was thwart the will of about half our voting public.
