6. I believe we should impeach Trump soon but not now

To do anything before we have his tax returns, bank records or details about insurance fraud makes zero sense.

Trump has been accused of insurance fraud by a witness before Congress.

A lot of ordinary folks don't understand Russian influence on policy or trade but they understand fraud.

A month ago I was in a convenience store in a county that Trump took by 70/30. On either side of the store were gun shops and every car in the parking lot sported NRA stickers. The city has a small military base nd two large Border Patrol stations.

I got to the front of the line and there was an African American women in her 30s running the till. The TV was blasting a story about Trump blocking release his tax returns.

I wanted to signal solidarity to the cashier and said in a loud voice, "I want to see his tax returns". She responded "Damn straight".

What happened next was illuminating. Each person voiced agreement, and I know that some were Trumpers. "What is he hiding?" , and so on.

The economic crimes he committed are much easier for the average Joe to identify with

Then there is this; DOJ may have a policy against indicting a President but a NY grand jury doesn't.

We absolutely have to wait until the data on the financial crimes are in hand, however we should be building pressure every day.

We must impeach without fear of what the Senate will do BUT we should only impeach when we are loaded to the gills with as much ammunition as possible. I believe that is Pelosi's and Schiff's strategy.
