Crime? You mean crimes.
Mr. Chairman, it appears that you are correct, sir,
Understatement of the centuryā¦
āElijah Cummings: āIt Appearsā Trump Committed A Crime In Office.ā
Trumpās even being in office is ā literally ā a GRU crime.
Yes, itās definitely an understatement, but I appreciate the way Dem leadership is sort of slowly, cautiously, and methodically building the case for impeachment. No matter what happens, whether or not the Senate will ever convict him, they are painting a picture of rank corruption and felonious behavior that they can hang around the necks of every Republican running in 2020. Especially PP. This will pay dividends for years and years to come.
Like professionals. Itās heartening.
āwill pay dividends for yearsā¦to come.ā
āFrom your fingertipsā¦ā
Appearances are believingā¦
I think this is going to set the stage for Yertle calling all his Rethug Senators in his office this Friday and basically saying, āYouāre on your own. Do whatever it is you need to do to get re-elected at any given point.ā
Ok, Mr. Mueller, the stage is set for you.
Please?
This is really the way to build towards impeachmentā¦lots of people are screaming āIMPEACHNOW!!!ā, but doing so is nakedly partisan without a real base of evidence. Events like today build that base, both politically and factually, and both are important if the nation is going to be convinced that impeachment is the right thing to do. By laying the case out, connecting the dots, showing where laws were broken, when and by whom, the Democrats will build a case that should convince everyone who actually pays attention that Trump and his minions did bad things.
Doing it that way will pay huge dividendsā¦in 1998 the Republicans were punished because of how poorly they pursued Clinton, as everyone saw it as the hit job it was. If the case is built up right now, and if it is built based on the facts, then Americans will go along with whatever the legal path is for the perpetrators. Weāre seeing the first stages of that now, and the Democratic leadership knows what it is doing and clearly has a plan in place to build on.
OT but:
JUST IN: Exclusive: US negotiators no longer demanding North Korea agree to disclose full accounting of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs as part of talks between President Trump and Kim Jong Un, according to current and former US officials. https://t.co/S6kBmHfN4Y

There is plenty of evidence to start impeachment. Plenty. Pelosi just doesnāt want to. It upsets her vision of āunity.ā
The longer Trump is in office, the more damage he does. He is a real national security issue.
Impeachment Now.
Donnie probably just gave Kim Guam, Alaska, and Hawaii, tooā¦
Itās almost likeā¦ snuggling up in a tree hollow in the dead of winter with a massive hoard of nutsā¦
So ā¦
Look at the Chairmanās face now ā¦
and letās compare to what it looks like after the closed session tomorrow ----
Iām bettinā a root-beer thereāll be contrast ā
Oh, to be a fly on the wallā¦
Not my faultā¦ @squirreltown just brings out my nutty side.
