exactly... if impeachment has chance of success and final vote, then why begin the process? it’s wasted effort and an obvious chess move on his part... he wants it, heck he’s beggin for it!
look-—this guy could be impeached due to Benghazi, the IRS scandal and Fast and Furious alone... that’s enough and far worse then anything Nixon’s team set about to happen..
we don’t have the press... we will never have the press.... ever.........
Could Obama be charged with war crimes and tried at the Hague after his term is over?
The House shifts the burden to the Senate. The politicians in the Senate have to face the public too. Clinton got off because the public was conditioned to think the issue was sex with Monica. The public thought that was a stupid reason to remove a president. The actual reason was lying to the court, but I suspect the public would think that would be a stupid reason to remove a president, too. The political calculus is different when the charge is an attempt to override immigration policy.
IMO, impeachment has to be credibly on the table. That means a committee has to work on drafting articles of impeachment, and there needs to be discussion of it in the House.
