has called on the House to open an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump and his administration.
People, my god, it is way past time. Dan Coats will be gone August 15th and Trump is replacing him with a deep state conspiracy theorist who is going to tear down our 17 intelligence agencies, that will be his fucking job.
So we decide to risk not impeaching trump because we feel that we can better defeat him at the ballot box. Donald Trump is not going to step down if he loses the election, that's not crazy talk that's a likely scenario.
Jerry Nadler is a good man who wants to impeach but he is deferring to Speaker Pelosi. Nadler did not open up an impeachment inquiry, he opened up an inquiry into an inquiry. He has a good argument under 6(e) to get the grand jury information which is critical, but if he were to open up an impeachment inquiry getting the grand jury info would be a slam dunk.
If the court gives Nadler the grand jury info then what is next? Think about this question. If after getting the grand jury info Nadler still doesn't open an impeachment hearing then Democrats are toast, Trump will have won. If after getting the grand jury info Nadler opens up an impeachment hearing then why didn't he do so now? Not opening up an impeachment hearing, keeping everything stalled in the courts is just what Trump/Barr wants.
Our democracy is burning, Trump is putting his cronies into positions of power and packing the courts. He will not concede the election if he loses, everyone needs to consider that possibility seriously.
Google Bush v Gore, Republicans have already stolen elections without Russia's help.

And they are not happy about this. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want one of their states under terrorist attacks.

There's at least one on our side who will also vote for him.

There is no 'official' or 'formal' way to do it.

A news anchor said that Trump and Coats have not always seen eye to eye that Trump is replacing coats with someone who suits his agenda. I gave 1 scream and turned the TV off.

It's all just corporate entertainment, advertising products.
I am truly surprised Rachael has been allowed to stay on the air.
