The Democrats, having unwisely invested enormous political capital in the ability of special counsel Robert Mueller to produce some pretext for impeaching President Trump, now face a choice between two evils. Most of the legacy media, the far left wing of their own caucus, and an obsessive megadonor all insist that Mueller provided enough ammunition for impeachment. But recent surveys, including new polls conducted after the full Mueller report was released, show that most voters are against ousting Trump. Consequently, the Democrats will inevitably be forced to alienate some crucial constituency no matter which course they choose on impeachment.
The most difficult to appease may be the Fourth Estate. From the big dailies to the major broadcast and cable outlets to the most widely read blogs, the journalistic malpractice that plagued Russiagate continues unabated despite the collapse of the collusion hoax and the absence of evidence that the President committed obstruction of justice. Since the Mueller report was released, the New York Times ran a column titled, “In a Functional Country, We Would Be on the Road to Impeachment,” the Week published a piece titled, “The president must be impeached,” and the Washington Post ran an op-ed titled, “Why impeachment is imperative.” The latter effusion begins as follows:
Democrats’ fear of a backlash at the polls is no reason to avoid their constitutional responsibility to begin a formal impeachment proceeding against President Trump. This is a complex decision, but given the evidence presented in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report, it is not a difficult one. The special counsel did not have a pathway to hold Trump accountable for obstruction of justice. Congress does.

The MSM at the top is guilty of conspiracy to overthrow the governmnet.
There are certainly e mails at the very top that are not sources, but rather propaganda directives.
A scum of lawyers who hate Trump couldn't find anything in the law to prosecute Trump for.
So, it's necessary for CONgress to invent something.
Maybe they should pass an ex post facto law, or a Bill of Attainder... ;-)
They don’t even have the votes to get it out of committee for a floor vote.
Darn it.
:)
“All it takes is a simple majority in the House to ‘Impeach’”
They don’t even have the votes in the House.
No way.
No how.
Which makes for grand comedic theater. Not even Puccini could top this one lol
God, I hope you are correct. I don’t trust ANY Republicans.
You also have to be sure that the supporters of the President you’re trying to impeach aren’t waking up every morning wondering if today is the day that they and a few hundred thousand of their closest friends are going to throw the rope and the boom-sticks in the van and drive to the The Swamp and start decorating the cherry trees with deserving Swamp critters...
Typical “journalists” always getting it wrong.
It’s Peach Mint, they’re yelling for. The weather’s getting hot and they want the commissary to start serving ice cream!
Victor Davis Hanson’s lens: “It doesn’t have 51% of the voters.’ He rated every leftie issue like this in the Epoch Times interview Friday - and all of them fall below that.
My leftie-liberal Jewish friend concedes that the next election could be like McGovern/ Dukakis @ 49:1 states going conservative. I bet he could hardly stand to speak those words out loud, but he did.
Yes! Red Badger nails it again.
Don’t forget Mondale 1984........................
precisely.
I dont recall any impeachment talk after nixon...a few rumblings in the wake of iran-contra...but then, nothing until 1998.
after that, it is all the left talks about. remember when the demoflops took congress in the ‘06 midterms....they were bleating about impeachment shortly after that.
this is ALL about billy jeff payback.
They are short 19 Mitt Romneys...
Start Hanging Filthy Heathen Liberals. No Trial Just Do It.
This morning, Rush trashed and exposed gutless, two-faced, GOP Elitist Mittens. It was awesome to hear. Rush also included the rest of the gutless, spineless GOP slugs.
Great one!!!
The police and armed forces would be out with orders to shoot on sight. No one will ever get near our persecutors. That’s all big talk.
