This kind of presumes that people raising issues aren't aware of that. But for now norms around abuse of office aren't holding, so temporarily relief is sought via other, possibly more rigid, avenues. https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/941168739139145728 …

Sure, without a D house majority or bigger revelations nothing's going to happen WRT impeachment. But that doesn't mean pointing individual violations is naive. And I think that's a pretty significant subtext of this, and some related, threads.

Not naive, but losing sight of the true nature of problem and solution--namely, political (Congress) not legal (courts). Imo, collusion good example. My sense: Many now see issue thru legal lens. I feel like this is mistake.

Well, that'd probably fly less badly if Congress didn't squander any sort of trust... I generally agree. Pwn's tone in this is just rubbing me a bit the wrong way.

Not "less badly"--political solution is the primary way this should fly. But I agree lack of trust is a problem for Congress. Hyper-partisanship problem as well.

Re: tone. FWIW, didn't think pwn being condescending or insulting. I thought his designating legal qs as proxies for larger issue was fascinating and insightful angle. (shrugs)

Yea, I might have "over read" the condescending angle. Read thread in the context of previous comments around this, and I've had a really really long day (meetings, code review, software archeology & bugfixing). Really wasn't trying to imply any sort of bad faith.

Long, hard days can put anyone in a bad frame of mind. It's all good.
