Pelosi should restart an impeachment investigation

Hold public hearings at the very minimum.

through a pandemic and ending civil unrest by working on new laws to make police accountable...no hearings.

It was good they did it and got it on record for the history books, but no. Now is not the time to do that from scratch with all new stuff.

VOTE him out.
Dont help him by making him able to continue as the perpetual victim

Given the delays that will surely imposed, the Senate will probably have a different composition by the time they vote.
But in the horrifying event Trump gets another term, make sure this "gift" awaits him.

He's shooting himself in the foot. If impeachment investigations begin now, it might backfire, as the endless email & Benghazi investigations did to the republicans. Even though, God knows, there are plenty of things to impeach him again on. Best just concentrate on GOTV and keeping people as safe as possible.

unrest, it would be seen as political and would help not hurt Trump. Vote him out. The Senate won't convict. There is no point.

On November 4.

since the Bolton thing. Is some TV person talking about impeachment?

How is impeachment NOT your first thought hearing about Trump extorting China and Turkey in addition to Ukraine?

What do you think is different now?...especially in this case. A "he said, he said". It's insane...that's why impeachment is NOT my first thought.

Subpoena Bolton and ask him to tell the American people why they should have considered more charges.

I don't think it is worth another impeachment hearing but I certainly want to hear what he has to say under oath with questioning.

If you want to give him an automatic win.

Step ONE.
An impeachment would only come later if the charges are supported by evidence. Dems can't justify not investigating and you get enhanced subpoena powers under the banner of impeachment.
Try to remember political expediency should not conflict with Dems sworn duty to defend the constitution.

They're still in court fighting to enforce the subpoenas they issued last year.

bur a favorable SCOTUS ruling could be a major game changer for the House' ability to provide oversight.

anything the House asked for without a court fight?

It wouldn't.

They'd still take it to court. And if they even got a ruling before the election, they'd appeal it. And then appeal that ruling to the Supreme Court.

No House subpoena would produce any information from Trump before the election, no matter what the Supreme Court rules in the next couple of weeks.

isn't necessary right away.
This is a huge issue of separation of powers. House without subpoena power is a congress without OVERSIGHT.The Inquiry will proceed at its own speed but without a favorable ruling might be as toothless as the first impeachment try.
But again, regardless of political expediency, we must persist if the checks and balances of a republic are to be preserved.

there is clear evidence of the Graham blackmail story or something like that.

of anything without first investigating and calling witnesses.

Just search google for: body found in

Such a move will allow Trump to claim political witchhunt. He is sinking from his own incompetence, we are better off letting him destroy himself.

If we hold the House big and retake the Senate, then she can start the impeachment process so that it goes to the Senate after January 3rd of next year. Even if the Senate fails to remove Trump, President Biden can have the Justice Department go after him after January 21 of next year.

about witch hunts, antifa ,etc. no matter what.
I still think Dems have a sworn duty to investigate and if they can substantiate and corroborate the Bolton charges-Impeach.
Should be done without regard to timing or political expediency.
Idealistic / boy scout view aside, pushing Bolton's charges to the front of the news cycle is good politics, not bad. Why is highlighting treasonous and probably criminal behavior bad campaigning???

but for the junkiest of political junkies among us. The pandemic, the economy, healthcare, systemic racism, and the integrity of our elections are what Americans care about now. America is turning on Trump -- Dems shouldn't do anything to fuck that up.

He's doing an excellent job of discrediting himself. Dems need to focus on the pandemic, the integrity of our elections, racism, the economy, and healthcare and Fat Nixon will be finished.

because it's a made for TV national book tour for him.
Impeachment One was a focus on one instance of extortion by POTUS.
With Bolton's charges it becomes a pattern and practice of the Trump /GOP axis of slime, it deserves to be hammered home especially in election season (as it happens).

Follow Joes lead. Let him keep destroying himself.

If you enemy is making mistakes don’t interrupt him. Or in this case change the entire subject of the news cycle from his continued self destruction.

is already Trump centered, villains sell newspapers. Bolton is handing Libs negative Trump evidence, let's use it to its fullest.

"Pelosi endorses House Judiciary investigation of Barr:

“Congressional oversight of the Executive Branch is needed to protect the integrity of our legal system, which is under serious threat from this White House. AG Barr must be held accountable for his actions.“

The affects on the world, will change some of the hardcore donnybots.

Ask themselves how stable their lives will be over 4 more years with

a corrupt government.. ...If they would quit electing criminals,

they would feel better..

in fact, they're collapsing one by one:

"Conservative columnist Max Boot on Thursday stressed the significance of former national adviser John Bolton’s forthcoming tell-all book about his 17 months working in President Donald Trump’s administration.

“You have to understand how unprecedented this is,” Boot told CNN’s “Newsroom” of Bolton’s memoir, “The Room Where It Happened,” scheduled for release next week.

“We’ve never seen such a senior former official saying that the president they served was fundamentally unfit and unethical and ignorant and therefore incapable of doing the job,” said Boot, a commentator for The Washington Post.

Bolton alleges in his memoir, for which he reportedly received a $2 million advance, that Trump sought China’s help in his reelection. He has faced backlash, however, for not raising concerns about Trump’s conduct at the time and for failing to cooperate in Trump’s impeachment.

Boot, who left the GOP following Trump’s 2016 election victory, said Bolton’s book only confirmed concerns raised by other top-ranking Trump officials who have left the White House.

“The difference here is that Bolton has provided a fuller report on what he saw because he was a copious note taker,” Boot continued. “So, this is a very damning indictment and I think Trump and his defenders will have trouble running away from because Bolton is one of them. You can’t accuse him of being part of the deep state. He’s as right-wing as they come.”

There are investigations ongoing. Don't jog the Speaker's elbow to make things more public and therefore more risky to people who have work to do.

The worst public health crisis in a century

Defeating Trump

Walking and chewing gum simultaneously is one thing. Chewing gum, while riding a unicorn while balancing a stack of spinning plates, and rolling hula hoops around our outstretched arms is another.

We cannot afford to make the same stupid mistakes as we did in 2020 - and the lay of the land is immeasurably more complex this time.

Anyone inclined to see it knows how corrupt Trump is - and even knows most of what he has done. Anyone not inclined to see it won't have their minds changed by another set of hearing - and it gives Trump more ammunition to use to rile up his base. Right now he's hanging himself.

My advice is "Please proceed." We don't need his base screaming that we kicked the chair out from under him.

Keep the pressure on Trump and Barr

OK, it wasn't Bolton, rather Berman, that flipped his switch but the light will still go on.

"Remember, the two main GOP defenses during impeachment were (1) no proof Trump himself delayed aid & (2) it was just a difference over policy.

Bolton says it was: Trump’s decision, politically motivated, & part of a pattern.

Of course his testimony would have mattered."

Count me as a non-supporter of this idea.

Most of the arguments against a new Imp.Inq. are based on political expediency which essentially mirrors Trump's motives for extorting Ukraine et al.
Dems need to be better than that, focus on truth and justice and let the politics fall where they may.

as possible.

But, of course, we're going to have to put up with plenty of "Democrats are WEAK if they don't impeach him AGAIN" swarms from the usual suspects.

Funny how they insisted he be impeached last year because if they waited until this year "it will be too late!" Now we are four months before the election and suddenly, it's no longer "too late" but must be done no matter what.

Do you get the feeling this really isn't about impeachment at all?

"Breaking : In a reversal Nadler now open to impeachment of Barr






A shift from House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler: After saying Sunday impeaching AG Bill Barr is a “waste of time,” he says his committee “may very well” pursue Barr’s impeachment.

“We’re looking into that, we may very well,”

Asked what changed, Nadler says: “I think the weight of the evidence and of what’s happens leads to that conclusion.”

I suspect Dems have been voicing their opinions vociferously...."
