Damn the consequences, House Democrats must impeach

[Martin Eden]

5. "only when it will get him out of office"

Does that mean only if the Republican majority Senate will convict?

Without a smoking gun of unmistakable treason, that is highly unlikely.

Do you mean that impeachment by the House (even though the Senate acquits) will help defeat Trump in the 2020 election?

If a strong enough case is made, Republicans who backed this POtuS could also pay a price at the polls.

Ultimately, the question to ask is whether or not Trump has committed high crimes and misdemeanors which clearly meet the Constitutional intent of impeachment.

If so, failure to pursue impeachment is both a dereliction of duty and tacit acceptance of criminal behavior at the highest level of our government.
