i see andy mc cabe is coming out for impeachment today.
diblassio was on mojo calling for impeachment today.
swallwell said it loud yesterday, tho he has long been on board, imo.
who else is gonna come out this fine friday?
this has me thinking about what the end will look like, and how it will happen. i think we all know it will happen fast.
this is what i think will happen.
between spanky's big mouth, and rising smoke in the gulf, could we be there?
there has been some speculation about the way members of congress have dribbled out to the teevee cameras to add their names to the whip count.
i have posited that is a plan to beat the drum.
one name today, one news cycle, one tomorrow, another cycle.
several on friday to win the sunday shows.
if any of this is a plan, this is what i think should happen this weekend-
i think 4-5 new reps will come out. maybe more dem senators will make strong statements. maybe someone respected from law enforcement or intelligence.
any other candidates that are ripe, but havent said it to the cameras?
if the plan is working, some spooks will come out.
there will be a leak or other reveal of something new. maybe something will get unredacted from mueller, or stone, or...
hopefully the media pounces.
david farenthold, i'm lookin at you. rachel, whatcha got?
i know, i know. we keep thinking the end is nigh, and we keep being wrong. but we know this HAS TO END.
when it happens, it will be a mile long string of dominoes.
it is a dam holding mountains of water. it will fall w a crash.
the heat has been turned way, way up, imho.
we all know they are lying about iran.
the whole world is frightened.

(5,403 posts)trump can not deliver a credible case vs iran to the American people. he will be removed so that pence can rally an attack.

(5,117 posts)Yes, that lying child should be removed as soon as possible, but that will leave Mike Penance in charge. He is way more dangerous in many ways. I can only hope that once the ball starts rolling, it will flatten as many of these Rethug vermin as it can. That party has proven to be nothing more than a cabal of criminals and warmongers. We need to hit them hard, so they finally fall into ruin, which is what needs to happen.

(131 posts)He will throw everyone he perceives as a traitor under the bus as he is being impeached. I feel he is just petty enough to take as many people down as he is falling. What-a-fantasy!

(7,627 posts)Best chance of getting supporting evidence by having subpoenas honored and Grand Jury material revealed.
StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)hearing?
And the House Judiciary Committee now has the exact same legal standing to request grand jury materials as any impeachment inquiry would have.
Moreover, so far, the courts have sided with the House on its requests to uphold subpoenas and is doing so with lightning fast timing so there's no evidence that an impeachment inquiry would put them in any better position.

(48,994 posts)... abandon tRump, as will happen, perhaps after he loses the election (hard work yet!) but maybe before. (Note: no trial in the Senate for out of office politicians.)
With tRump impeached but not referred, it would allow Democratic candidates to make tRump-Republicons have to own all of his shit during the election.
Trump is daring the House to impeach because he thinks he has the Senate sewn up. If it failed the trial in the Senate, he would crow and crow and crow all the way through the 2020 election.
So, don't give him what he wants the most (failed Senate trial) and give him what he wants least: impeachment in the House without referral.
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,406 posts)As long as Democrats (other than Manchin) don't vote to acquit as well. Republicans will put their reputations and credibility on the line for Trump give him a party-line acquittal, but will that ultimately mean much? Unless they make a blazingly awesome and powerful argument for doing so, it will just look like them continuing to enable and cover for Trump to most people (paying attention) IMHO.
mopinko
(70,078 posts)by the time the impeachment and trial are over, if damn near everyone isnt shocked and appalled and calling for his scalp, my hoping days are over.

(90,645 posts)...it falls extremely fast. They were speaking of Trump's presidency.
We may finally be nearing that point.
