      This is a deeply cynical, terrifyingly awful take. Don't indict for a massive crime because you think you may not get a fair verdict. What about the victims? What about us? What about forcing the Senate to vote? No one should support this lunacy. (Jeet is not alone, btw).https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1071194086110040065 …

      5. The political reality is that right now there are probably enough votes in the House to impeach but not enough votes in the Senate to remove. So what is impeachment without removal? A largely symbolic gesture.

      It'll be much easier (and more effective) to indict Trump once he's out of office. The goal is to get him out of office. Once that's achieved, he's in massive legal jeopardy.

      The goal is justice. We cannot provide the green light of precedent to future tyrants. That's the basic argument for impeachment. But there's a very strong political one, too - the destruction of the Republican argument in public.

      A New York jury is more likely to get justice than a Senate with 53 Republicans.

          This is cynical. Wildly so. I'm not gaming out the result. I want the trial.

          I'm afraid I don't understand your use of "cynical" here. Jeet wants public justice too but believes impeachment isn't the best way to achieve that end. Arguments might be made either way (I think I tend to agree with Jeet), but neither strike me as "cynical."
