1. WE need to focus on VOTING the pos out..Dems need to continue to pass bills for the people -

Mcconnell will not bring them to a vote..our focus - vote for a majority DEM Senate, and WH 2020, hold the house....the house will be ready - having done their job, for the people, WE THE PEOPLE need to VOTE - our country depends on it.....

Infrastructure, education, equal rights, voting rights, immigration, WE CAN DO THIS!! -

When the house deems it appropriate, and consider what the Mueller Report (unredacted) actually reveals..impeach on FACTS... I refuse to lay down...your weapon IS YOUR VOTE (as she preaches to the choir) -

[stopbush]

5. WE can do both. I hate this idea that the Ds need to give up on/ignore the 2020 elections if they

move forward with impeaching that asshole.

[Demsrule86]

7. Without conviction . It is a waste of time. Continue the investigations.

[MiniMe]

2. They should hold hearings

And see what they turn up. You need to get the people behind you before you start talking about impeachment

[Demsrule86]

11. Yes hold hearings...go after the money,

[Kaleva]

3. My position is to leave it to Nancy to decide if or when that happens,

[Iwasthere]

4. Hearings first. Then impeach. There are Plenty of facts.

6. Impeach, yes, but not right away

This Senate will never remove him from office. Prefer a strategy whereby the Dems obtain his financial info and go nuclear on his criminal financial shenanigans, in parallel to their impeachment hearings. A big fat smoking gun of insurance/tax/bank fraud or money laundering - something that even the GOP won't be able to ignore or excuse. Something that will spell electoral annihilation in November 2020 because even Trump voters understand that a billionaire cheating on his taxes or defrauding financial institutions is tainted goods. At which point, McTurtle tells Trump that he's going to be removed from office by the Senate if he doesn't resign or, perhaps, agree not to run in 2020.

I think that's what it'll take to excise the Trump malignancy: impeachment proceedings for obstruction in combination with disclosures of financial fraud.

9. It could be months or years before we have documents to prove

his criminality. They will fight everything.

[uponit7771]

17. That's why impeachment should start now, my understanding its hard to stonewall with impeachment

... hearings than just regular congressional investigations where everyone gets to lie to congress.

[Demsrule86]

20. Pre-impeachment hearings would be better....we are supposed to get documents but

may not, if we have a failed impeachment , we will have Trump claiming exoneration. Do we have the votes in the House. And what about the new moderates?

[Demsrule86]

25. In a normal administration maybe. But this is not normal.

[Cosmocat]

8. Censure

They only are going to at best be able to bring articles of impeachment up in the house. They don't have the votes to convict in the Senate, if McConnell even allows it to come up.

So they can only get halfway to impeachment. And the media, and Republicans will scream about it being a failure.

They can censure him in the house without the Senate.

Of course this scumbag should be impeached and removed from the office, but it's not going to happen. Bringing up articles of impeachment and not being able to convict is basically the same as Censure, but censure would be complete.

[Demsrule86]

10. The lack of conviction will be hailed as exoneration

I think many here think the Senate will cave when they see the evidence but they won't. Republicans by and large don't care if Trump is a criminal. Thus, the Senate won't either,

[Cosmocat]

12. yep

nm

[stopbush]

13. McConnell has no choice. If the House impeaches, he must hold the trial.

[Cosmocat]

14. lol

yeah, OK ...

[stopbush]

15. Not his decision, anymore than he could refuse

to hold a vote on the House-passed bill to reverse tRump’s wall emergency EO.

I don’t know why I bother responding to people who have no knowledge of or interest in how government works.

[Demsrule86]

21. Sure he will make it a joke.

[uponit7771]

16. My understanding is impeachment brings powers to the house that they don't have with just subpoenas

... and regular house investigations where everyone gets to lie to congress.

[Maeve]

18. I'd like to see more evidence of other crimes first

Financial crimes, particularly, and that is going to take some time. I want his "brand" to reek of flop-sweat before we hang him out to dry.

[Solomon]

19. Release the Kracken!

[Red Mountain]

22. Yes

And slow walk the release of info. It's there, he's corrupt. Endless campaign ads.

[nini]

23. Since the Senate won't get rid of him the goal should be to expose him before the election

Investigate, expose his sorry ass along with McConnell and the whole corrupt GOP. We can only do what we can with the power we have. If the senate wasn't so screwed up this would be a slam dunk - but it isn't.

Expose, expose, expose.. That is our best weapon.

[Demsrule86]

26. Agree.

[Joe941]

24. We can't wait 2 more yrs. Impeachment is the way!

[Demsrule86]

27. He will still be there after impeachment and we might help him get four more

Years nifty we impeach.

[Freethinker65]

28. Investigate and expose. Get GOP hypocrites on record.

Hammer away at the lying, hypocrisy, and corruption. If a few Republicans sign on to impeachment, then impeach.
