1. To impeach or not to impeach? That is the question. It just got a lot more real with the new determination that Trump directed Cohen to commit a crime. https://twitter.com/jonfavs/status/1071175435206049792 …

6. In fact I think the political reality is that its virtually impossible to imagine 20 GOP senators voting to remove. Trump could hand Alaska back to Russia and he'd only lose 4 or 5 Senators (2 from Alaska).

7. So: Politics is in command. Impeachment without removal is only of symbolic value -- and dubious value at that. If the goal is removal, then the best path forward remains elections. In the meantime Dem congress can continue to investigate.

8. It's true that even a symbolic impeachment has value. But that goal -- the airing of offenses in order to make Trump & his enablers politically toxic -- can be achieved with house hearings short of impeachment. https://twitter.com/BalkansBohemia/status/1071196953143328769 …

9. Again, I agree with the goal here, but it can be achieved with hearings short of impeachment. https://twitter.com/Othemts/status/1071199204188540928 …

10. To argue with myself a bit: the course I'm advocating (House hearings short of impeachment unless there is huge evidence) carries a real risk. For if Trump is guilty of impeachable offenses & not impeached then his crimes have been normalized.

11. We're in a very murky place, with no clear answers and should be ready to change our minds. But for now, I think its best to think politically and keep our eyes on the prize. The goal is getting Trump out of office. 2020 is not too far away.

Some do. Nadler will propose a bill to extend limitations period. And if impeachment/removal fails, criminal prosecution still an option. No double jeopardy.

Right now, yes, but I think It’s pretty clear there’s a whole shoe closet of more shoes to drop, so how’s about we wait for them?

Get them on record. Get every Senator on record ASAP that they won't remove him. Then when 2 more years of news comes out, 2020 election will be about their subservience to a criminal.
