No it doesn't.

Oh, they’ll keep driving no matter what. And claim PDJT MUST be hiding something just like his tax returns. Must be something if he doesn’t pony up.

If the impeachment inquiry is “illegal” then charges should be brought unto those responsible.

The Dems can “contest Trump’s Broadside” by VOTING to impeach and have actual Subpoena power...which they won’t do because then republicans have the same power.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
What would throw them in further disarray would be to arrest some of the coup plotter committee chairs, particularly Schiff, for sedition, treason and/or collusion with foreign powers.

It’s not a real impeachment because it isn’t being conducted like one.
It’s a coup and a naked power grab by the Leftists.
Same playbook they’ve had for over 50 years against EVERY elected Republican president in his first term.

Possibilities:
- Pelosi puts the impeachment to a full house vote and it fails to pass. Dems continue to try to use committees for partisan attacks. Trump is reelected.
- Pelosi puts the impeachment to a full house vote and it passes. The President cooperates and the world sees for itself that there is nothing there except Democrat corruption. Trump is reelected.
- Pelosi doesn't put the impeachment to a vote. Committees continue to try to do partisan investigations. President doesn't cooperate. Investigation remains partsan false allegations. Trump is reelected.

"Democrats have to stay very disciplined in adhering to that clear, cogent narrative that was written for us, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said. Connolly admits everyone was handed a lie to repeat regardless of existing or emerging facts.

“What would throw them in further disarray would be to arrest some of the coup plotter committee chairs, particularly Schiff, for sedition, treason and/or collusion with foreign powers.”
While an arrest of shfitt would be gratifying, I’d bet it would cause a media caterwauling like we’ve never heard before, and shifting momentum back to them.
OTOH, a series of arrests of deep staters, whistleblowers, and especially intelligence staffers, might put the fear of God into these traitors.

Pelosi should not be involved at all in the impeachment process because of a conflict of interest.
After the president and the vice president, the Speaker of the House is next in line for the presidency.
She has a vested interest in the impeachment and should recuse herself from it.

That is the correct approach.
Play offense—do not play defense.
If you are not attacking you are losing.

If I had to guess #3 is the most likely.
That does not force Democrats in soft districts to take a vote, and keeps the media circus cranking at full force.

Yes. They don’t want Republicans to have subpoena power as that would expose the truth and lead to arrests.

Oh man, I’d love to see a few of the coup plotters (read traitors) in jail. Problem is, there are so damn many.

It makes it easier for them. Obstruction will be one article of impeachment.
