House Democrats are nearing a "tipping point" on impeachment in the wake of the Trump administration blocking a whistleblower complaint's release to Congress, with moderate Democrats who have resisted calls for impeachment privately indicating they could be swayed. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who sharpened her rhetoric over the weekend, is still not committing to moving forward with impeachment proceedings -- though she is keeping the door open. The reason: The substance of the complaint is not yet clear. And it's still unclear how the Trump administration will respond. Multiple Democratic sources told CNN that if the White House completely stonewalls Democrats for the information, it will make the calculus easier for moving forward with impeachment proceedings. But if the White House provides a transcript, or seeks to muddy the waters in its response, that could make it more challenging for Democrats to unify behind impeachment, even after President Donald Trump's admission of discussing Vice President Joe Biden and his son in his phone call with the Ukrainian leader.

What the f*** are you talking about?
You should be worried that there may be 20 rounded up by Romney that will vote to convict. Hell, there may be 30.
So, that's how Orange Man goes down. An anonymous leak goes to CNN about a big nothing burger and Democrats impeach because Trump and no one else knows who the source is or what was said.
Rasmussen’s presidential tracking poll has never been higher for the president. If a vote were held today, Trump would win handily. Few people understand the whistleblower scandal and those who do, wonder why Biden is not arrested now. When they find out that the whistleblower is not a whistle blower and instead a CIA democrat operative, I think Trump’s ratings will go higher even as he is impeached.

Come on, it was not in his purview.
Rinse, repeat.
bread and circus i.e., beer and football, social media selfies, etc. - keep the citizens pacified and uninterested.
The media is running the show.
You don’t impeach a former president, you indict him.
You dont impeach a former president, you indict him.

I hear you, and for some reason I have a memory that I read somewhere that former presidents or other gummit officials can also be impeached after they leave office.
iirc, the consequences would be never hold office again.
You’re dreaming if you think troops would be involved. If they were, they’d be supporting the dems as they will follow the orders of the mostly left leaning field and general officers. It’s no longer you or your dad’s army.
Might be you are right, but I suspect it might be something else as drastic.
An attempt on our POTUS.
