2. Since day 1 of Trump's "presidency", he's needed to be impeached.

Hell, he needs to be impeached, convicted, thrown out of the White House, tarred, feathered, and run straight to Leavenworth on a rail.

The ONLY reason to hesitate to impeach is strategy. I want his head on a pike as much as every other real American in this country, but a badly done impeachment can backfire.

Realistically, the strategy should be to go after Mitch McConnell. Disgrace and discredit him, and claim his scalp. Once he's functionally removed from the power equation, THEN the path to Trump's impeachment and removal from office opens up.

4. Indict McConnell, or any 'con Senator, and switch their focus from re-election to possible . . .

. . . imprisonment.

[Note the huge numbers and surprises who did the 'proffer' (Ivanka) route to Mueller].

If traitortrump ever learns to read Mueller . . . ooooh!

3. The 'imporant' thing for the country is that trump be driven out of power.

That supersedes, I think, versions of 'duty', 'heroism', 'courage', 'righteousness' to impeach right now! DC vets like Pelosi, Schumer, Mueller? Watergate vets, , understand this. Timing and effectiveness, [like FDR and WWII entry], understand this.
