You don’t prosecute unless you have a REASONABLE chance of conviction.
I love Sarah, but do not agree with her on this issue.
“You don’t prosecute unless you have a REASONABLE chance of conviction.”
“Reason” left the station a long time ago. Will a conviction make it past Reid? Probably not.
Do it anyway. This needs to happen.
roger that. If you impeach and don't get a conviction the medial will trumpet it as complete vindication for Obama on everything he's ever done. And in the process you fire up a currently disillusioned base. There is NO upside to impeachment unless we hold 67 seats in the Senate.
I honestly believe Sarah knew there would be no stomach for impeachment. I think she just wanted to get the squatter’s crimes in the media. I do agree that to start proceedings now - with no support from the Senate would be an election bonus for the Democrats in November. I can just hear the robo calls now - the TEA party wants to impeach the first black president.
I think that deep down most agree with this, but the timing is all wrong. We the people are frustrated with this regime, but impeachment probably isn’t the answer unless he would resign and he isn’t about to do that. All he would get is a slap on the wrist and we’d still be stuck with him for another 2 1/2 years. The House has the means to stop him with the power of the purse, but refuses to do anything.
