EVERY candidate for the House in 2018 should be required to answer this question:

[Atticus]

"If Mueller finds probable cause that Trump has committed obstruction of justice or some other felony, WILL YOU VOTE TO IMPEACH HIM?"

[Chasstev365]

1. This is great!

If the media won't ask the question go to townhalls or email the question to your elected officials. They need to be put on the spot!

[RainCaster]

2. Yes!

Well said.

[pnwmom]

3. Why only the House? Impeachment is fangless without conviction in the Senate -- and that requires

a 2/3 vote.

Bill Clinton was impeached and his popularity only rose.

[kentuck]

4. Sounds like a fair question.

[customerserviceguy]

5. We all know what the Democratic answer will be

We will see various levels of weaseling from the GOP side. And in some of the places they will run, it will be satisfactory to the electorate, unfortunately.

6. Yes exactly get these sons of bitches on record with their response

[ancianita]

7. I just don't see that it will be a problem because of that pesky oath of office they took.

Decades ago, when the FBI worked with Sicily and Italian authorities to indict 335 people in the U.S. and over 400 in Italy, as one of the biggest international crime operations against New York's Five Families -- Cosa Nostra -- the FBI and other countries' criminal investigators got the evidence, got the wiretaps, got the cases made and wiped out the toxic networks that poisoned whole governments in both countries.

The FBI was Batman before Batman was. The FBI was the first international police organization on the planet -- before the CIA and Interpol.

Now, fifteen lawyers and the entire FBI are putting together a similarly huge case that can structurally preserve democracy.

Crimes against whole states and this whole country were committed, and Congressional committees will be privy to findings, then make their recommendations to the larger bodies.

Indictments will be made against many people all around this president, and including this president. Trials will proceed for those people while the president gets to sit in the Oval, beyond the reach of indictment, until his term is over. In the meantime...

If House Republicans refuse to impeach the president -- even as 92 in the Senate agree with the intel agencies -- the representatives who refuse to impeach can later be named as co-conspirators in the Department of Justice's obstruction of justice case.

In the unlikely event that no impeachment proceeds, the FBI, as soon as he's out of office, will hand down an indictment against the president and then go to trial.

At this point, since most House reps are running to keep their seats, they will know this is an existential deal.

I'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons he is already running again for 2020. He's trying to postpone the inevitable.
