It smells like all of the rationalizations based upon the unverified dossier dredged up to justify the Russian collusion illusion.

The release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report made clear that Donald Trump obstructed justice, leading many Americans across the political spectrum, and a number of Democratic presidential candidates, to conclude he deserves to be impeached. House Democrats know that President Trump is unfit for office and that they hold the power to begin impeachment proceedings. Yet instead of acting on the merits of the situation, they appear consumed with whether or not they will suffer politically for it.
At the moment, House Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, insist that any action toward impeachment — however warranted or urgent — would be too costly politically. This calculation not only answers the wrong question; it’s unsupported by the facts. The politics of impeaching the president favors Democrats, and they should move forward with confidence.
There is simply no historical precedent for impeachment leading to serious political peril.
Those trying to make this case point to President Bill Clinton, asserting that voters punished the GOP for an impeachment they viewed as overreach. It’s true that Republicans lost seats in the 1998 midterm elections while pushing the impeachment issue. Yet the loss of five seats in the House still left them in control of Congress. Two years later, voters kept the Republican majorities intact and delivered them the White House. And while Clinton’s popularity rose after impeachment, keep in mind that his approval ratings never dropped below 60% over the entirety of the investigation. Trump, on the other hand, has never seen approval ratings above 46%.
If impeaching a popular president didn’t cost the GOP significantly, then Democrats should not fear impeaching a deeply unpopular one.

The idea of impeaching President Trump is more fantasy dreams from those living on the fantasy world of the unicorn farm.
Is this guy on drugs? The Mueller Report said there was no collusion or obstruction.
Tom Steyer is a traitor and co conspirator to this attempted coup. His days are numbered.
Pink unicorns that poop skittles.
Let’s go ahead and ignore what President Trump has done in an incredibly short amount of time to pull the economy out of the Obama crap hole and, oh, by the way, crush ISIS.
This ‘unfit for office’ President has shown phenomenal restraint, time and time again in matters of foreign policy.
This is in sharp contrast to his predecessor, who genuinely was unfit for pretty much anything.
I began calling Obama the name Zer0 because he lacked the aptitude to do anything good for America. I didn’t call him Zer0 for nothing. He was a worthless president. :)
Tom Steyer “deserves” to be removed from civilized society and put in an institution where he cannot harm himself or others.

Hey Idiots,
How many times do you have to be told...
President Trump obstructed INjustice
...And that’s a GOOD thing!
thanfranthisco?
Another UGLY LEFTY heard from.....GO AWAY!!
Hey, go #### yourself.
But then you’d probably enjoy that, you’re so self centered.
This is the guy who told us on the way to his private island with his wife and his two little #### brat kids that American needed to learn to live with less.
Oh, good one!! He obstructed INjustice. I love it.
How do you figure that?
The guy's a private citizen, using his own money to promote and push for Trump's impeachment. Before this he was pushing climate change. He's not in the government at all.
I think the guy is an arrogant scumbag democRAT, but to call him a traitor and co-conspirator in the inside job of the DOJ-FBI-CIA to take down Trump is not factual.
If I'm wrong, maybe you'd be so kind as to share your insight backing your statement. Thanks.
Upon the realization that our hope is not in restoration of our country but in the resurrection of it after it collapses anything that brings us closer to that day I support. Toward this end I do beleive Impeaching Trump is a great idea. It will bring the Rats out into the streets en masse where they can be dealt with like the vermin they are.
He's a complete whackjob. Unfortunately, he has money.
Send the mechanics
