14. Timing is really the only issue here, IMO.

We want next year's summer vacation reading to be all the shit Trump has done for the past decades, & the continuing criminality of his administration.

I was unrealistically expecting a KO punch from Mueller, or at least a more dramatic result, (Don Jr? Kush?) & we'll never know how much referee AG Barr interfered & continues to interfere, so timing is now key. I'm not an expert to know how to time this process.

That said, if this level of contempt & criminality doesn't merit impeachment then we don't stand for shit & we're as complicit as the GOP.

... and then make them pay for it at the polls.

At minimum a long impeachment process outlining Red Don's criminality will get his numbers further down.

I don't see them pulling a Clinton on Biden ... no damn way, they'll make up crap at best

3. "Why Lewandowski first" - Because this is his FIRST testimony *in public)

His previous testimony was behind closed doors and his name was apparently mentioned a many many times (or something to that effect) in the Mueller Report (according to someone on the Committee). He is directly involved in instances of obstruction AND he did so while never having officially worked in the Administration (as an employee - he had been fired as Campaign Manager before the election).

7. I just heard that since he isn't working for the W House

he can't claim Exec Priv to get out of testifying completely.

The Dems wanted to get the facts on the record and that is what they got. He admitted that tRump was trying to obstruct justice.

They knew that he word perform for the fucking moron as well as the GOP reps. Nothing new there.

11. The plan seems to be to ... pretend they are trying to impeach Trump without actually trying.

They seem to be more concerned with what Trump's supporters think of them than the people who actually voted for them.
