Pelosi needs to make it clear: touch Mueller, impeachment starts in January

Time to stare the aged orang down.

Impeachment would insure that the full investigation comes out at trial in the Senate, then dare Senators to vote for Trump.

Republican Senators vote for Trump that's not a problem with their base.

We just don't have the votes to convict, nor were there enough votes to convict President Clinton either, but he was still impeached.

Trial serves the purpose of laying bare all of the information for the American people and getting Senators on the record.

she won't impeach him in January, just as you suggested.

Instead, she'll wait until February and impeach his sorry ass anyway.

Impeachment only comes after hearings are held. You have to lay out the evidence for both House members and the American people first.

Then you indict those who can be indicted and impeach the rest.

He's done 100x what Clinton ever dreamed of doing.

Just remains to be seen if there are any/enough Repukes that will honor their oath of office when the truth is revealed.

(and I don't think they do), it's all gonna get done in public.
His numbers night go up at the beginning, but as the evidence for crimes piles up and up and up, they will drop through the 25 percent floor and then the GOP will convict him just to save their own asses.

I don't think they will. They will let the impeachment die. He has already said that he won't hold any hearings to protect Mueller.
