I think telegraphing what you are going to do is stupid. He should just say impeachment is a very serious act that is reserved for high crimes and misdemeanors and should never be politicized. If we start convicting before a trial we show the same disregard for the rule of law that the Dems have shown.
Of coarse we will bring charges, We just shouldn’t be talking about it until it’s time.
Except his crimes are hardly a secret. They are actually a serious national security concern reflected in the articles of impeachment that have already been submitted. Although I do agree that members should not be coming out publicly for a vote before they even have the power.
