(80,708 posts)And what will drive it will be evidence-based investigations, which I have some faith in. I do believe there are good professionals in Federal Law Enforcement who are looking at this. I do believe there are good people in the IC who may know considerably more than we have been let on at this date.
But Watergate took years. We'll see what happens, but at this stage in the game it's not so much a question of political process or activism. Any real move toward impeachment will follow the evidence, even Nancy Pelosi said that.
I have good Senators and a good Rep. I encourage everyone to do everything we can to elect more Democrats next time we get the chance. And certainly, contact your officials and let them know that the behavior of the executive- obstructing justice by telling Comey to stand down on Flynn, for one particularly egregious recent example, is unacceptable and rises to that level of impeachable behavior.
But we need to understand that the investigation is going to take time.
If it is any consolation, the wheels seem to be coming off the Trump bus with incredible speed. So there's that.
