(146,329 posts)The Mueller investigation is working on it. We need to be working on getting Democrats to vote in November. That is what we can do that will have the greatest impact. Only Congress can control the President. We need to control Congress. It is that simple.

(11,804 posts)Both scenarios have risk; waiting until the elections has one pile of risks, removing him from office constitutionally is the ideal but unlikely, and trying to remove him from office in some other way seems both risky and extremely difficult.
Also removing him from office in some other way may damage our institutions as well.

(4,522 posts)We've been told he spends as much time on the phone with "friends" as he does watching TV and we KNOW the jackass can't keep a secret. I have said all along he is the source of his own leaks and the really damaging ones we aren't likely to hear about. maybe at some point in the future those on his frequent call list can be given immunity for their testimony at his treason trial.
