Reply #4: Their defenses were weak.

[JDPriestly]

The usual: prove its and there are more important things, this is trivial.

The defenses are just the usual defenses that any desperate defense attorney regurgitates in the face of allegations that are pretty irrefutable.

Whether there is an impeachment depends on Congress' courage to test the allegations before the Judicial Committee.

As the CNN report showed, Congress will have not only to buck the Republican Party but also the entire press establishment. There's the rub. How do you get news out to the general public, such as the news that the American people have been had, big time, other than through the establishment media that is owned and controlled by a group of people who had a lot of money but little intelligence or intellectual curiosity and no analytical ability, human values or education? There's the problem. Get out and ask your neighbors questions. Get to know people. Don't argue about the news the media focuses on. Don't argue about the media talking points. Ask people to explain how we got from the wealthiest nation on earth to a debtor nation that is bailing out banks several times a week with your money and your neighbor's money.

And before you start talking, be sure you have read Naomi Klein's book, Shock Doctrine.
