Impeachment date

[kennetha]

32. I think impeachment may have to wait

until after the midterms. The Repugnants are clearly willing to look the other way on almost ANYTHING Trump does. Violate the emoluments clause? Check! Conspire with the Russians? Check. Mix official government business and private gain? Check! It's all good by them, as long as they get him to sign their bills (oops) and otherwise do their bidding and as long as his dumb-ass supporters are willing to nod their heads in agreement at his every word.

So don't count on the Repugnants in the House putting country above narrow partisanship and personal electoral gain.

BUT as he proves more and more inept at this governing thing, as his madness becomes more and more out in the open, as he he suffers humiliating blow to his narcissistic ego after humiliating blow, they will start to run for cover. they will start stabbing each other in the backs, looking out for their own sorry arses. But they won't ever be organized and angry enough to actually impeach him.

We have to take back the House for that.

But there are a couple of things that could do him in in the meantime. The FBI. They are not playing.

A plethora of well-financed, high-profile civil suits over violations of the emoluments clause and unfair business practices. These are just gaining steam. The CREW suit may not survey the issue of standing. Trump has until sometime in April to respond. We shall see if it is allowed to go forth. If it is.... The ACLU is looking for a plaintive to back, taking a different route on standing.

Then there's the suit by the DC restauranteur alleging unfair business practices because of the Trump Hotel in DC. (where the GSA inexplicably -- well not so much -- recently declared that Trump was NOT in violation of the lease because he is no longer an officer of the Trump Organization. That right there should be grounds for deep suspicion).
