Correct. Since impeachment = indictment, if the person is indicted, by definition the “impeachment” works. It is the Senate’s responsibility to convict or not convict, but that does not annul, repeal or nullify the House’s duty to indict. If they refuse to do their duty, they are complicit with all the high crimes and misdemeanors that they refuse to indict.
Once the person is impeached, it is the Senate who will have to look at the evidence and vote. Based on that evidence and their votes, we can know which senators are complicit and need to be removed and which care about this country.
If the House acts to impeach now, it will give the Dims a reason to bring out the vote...and for no good reason since so far, there aren't enough votes in the Senate to remove Obama.
It comes down to this. Are your trying to achieve an objective...or are you just making noise?
This county is at war with those who want to destroy it...should we use strategy to win the war...or just yell about the injustice of it all?
I suggest "let's win it!"
And that takes strategic thinking.
