Impeach Trump? Democrats need to take a deep breath
The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 10, 2017 | Willie Brown

Posted on 06/11/2017 9:29:51 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

It was great entertainment, but for all the hype, the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings that featured former FBI Director James Comey failed to deliver a knockout punch.

You are not going to get another “All the President’s Men” out of this story.

At least not yet. The facts are not there. Yes, Russia meddled in the presidential election, and yes, President Trump wanted Comey to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s contacts with Russian officials.

But so far, there is no silver bullet that will bring the president down. As tempting as it is for the Democrats to push the idea that Trump could be guilty of obstruction of justice and push for impeachment, that could ultimately backfire on them — it raises public expectations, but if it doesn’t happen, it looks like you tried to do something and failed.

That wouldn’t just hurt the party this time. If a real Trump scandal comes along, the Democrats will be haunted by a decision to spend their political capital and credibility on a scandal that came up short.

My advice would be to sit back, be polite and let special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation take its course.

Let the questions hang out there in the public’s mind, and leave the speculation to MSNBC....

His 15 minutes were over long ago. “Yes, Russia meddled in the presidential election, and yes, President Trump wanted Comey to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s contacts with Russian officials.” Nonsense. Two false premises repeated over and over again with absolutely no evidence. Their only recourse is to keep repeating a manufactured lie. NONSENSE.

Still no actual evidence has been presented to back up either of those statements.

“He is quite a bit smarter than Maxine Waters.”

I agree with that.

We all have bowel movements smarter than Maxine Waters, so that’s not saying much.

Isn’t that called “damning with faint praise”?

The good thing about Willie Brown is the fact he’ll chuckle as he’s spreading the BS!

Yeah, I already posted something to that effect. If they get what they want, they’re not going to like what they get. They have pushed this stupid lying mess over the edge. We will never have normal Presidential elections in this country again because of this, ESPECIALLY because it is without cause. Mark my words.

The whackjobs on Twitter, Media and otherwise, have already airdropped on the Arnhem bridge, Willie.

Your relief columns are not going to get to them in time.

Matter of fact, they're putting the Swamp itself in grave danger by using the Trump supporter beehive as a pinata.

Never pick a fight with a beehive...

Do they not know how many weapons and rounds of ammunition we have? The Chinese and North Korean PLA wishes they had 1% of what we possess.

Why bother to vote, if the Swamp is going to rig the outcome of the election, even after "your guy" wins?

Let's see if they can rule the country from behind sandbags...
