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.

but impeachment still stands

(22,236 posts)We just don't have the votes to convict, nor were there enough votes to convict President Clinton either, but he was still impeached.

(27,555 posts)Trial serves the purpose of laying bare all of the information for the American people and getting Senators on the record.

(22,236 posts)she won't impeach him in January, just as you suggested.
Instead, she'll wait until February and impeach his sorry ass anyway.

(10,891 posts)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.

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

(10,269 posts)(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.

(21,714 posts)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.
