Impeachment MUST take place whether his is convicted or not because it's the right

thing to do.
It's just possible that Mueller closed his investigation now even though he could have indicted him and would have taken a long time in the courts because it's too dangerous to leave trump in the presidency.

Imagine all the damage he could do in the rest of his term. He'd be like an angry bull in a china shop.

There is a good argument for taking them all out at the polls. That argument may or may not be the best case, but it is a good argument.

We shall see.

Mueller said trying to subpoena the President would delay the investigation. But delay compared to what? Starr took four years. It is clear Mueller wanted the House to take this up.

I trust Nancy Pelosi and our Democratic leadership to make that decision, and right now I am in COMPLETE agreement with their approach to this.

Pursuing a failed impeachment purely for the "joy of impeachment" or to "send a message" will ultimately weaken the Democratic party.

I'm so glad that Nancy Pelosi and our Democratic leaders aren't tempted by these types of impulsive and knee-jerk responses. I like that they are thoughtful, reasonable and practical. I like that they know how to count and that they are taking a realistic approach.
