Has Barr/Mueller put Pelosi and Dems in a no win situation?

Start Impeachment proceedings:
Right wing media and some mainstream media will claim overreach.
They will state nothing new will come from other interviews and will waste taxpayers money.
Trump and Repubs will raise a ton of money running against the “Impeachment party Dems”.

Don’t start Impeachment proceedings:
What is called or perceived as “left wing” media and some mainstream media will claim Dem cowardice and impotence.
They will state that impeachment proceedings would force many to testify and keep story alive.
Many Dems will feel let down and not want to contribute money or time in 2020.

We won't take the Senate by being meek.

They need to drop a very guilty-looking Trump right in McConnell's lap in October 2020.

Don't start impeachment hearings, start OVERSIGHT hearings, on these and the many. many other topics available. Televise them all.

Get as much information out in public as possible. Learn to grandstand, for Dawg's sake. Don't mince words. Stay on message. (best if they all take lessons from Maxine Waters and AOC).

When the case is solid and well-known and the public informed, then impeach and throw it in the puke Senators laps right before the election.
