72. It's the duty of the house.

The DOJ has a policy of not indicting sitting presidents so not impeaching is simply aiding and abetting. The 2 impeachments did not greatly affect the elections afterwards. Yeah I know one Senator from Kansas was defeated for voting against. The impeachment of Clinto didn't alter the political balance even though the results were predetermined and it was mainly a show trial. I see all of these chicken little posts and I am thinking we have become cowardly. When the DOJ has made it clear that they are leaving it to Congress, which I think is the right call, Congress must act. This BS about not having the votes in the Senate is the purists BS. If I know anything about politicians at all is that they have a string survival instinct and don't want to be on the side of letting a felon off the hook and having to explain it. I also believe that the Republicans in power despise Trump for many reasons and are looking for a way out of the looming disaster for their party. California has sent the message. A minority forcing it's rule on a majority once led to a civil war and the Republicans are a minority.
