      He obstructed justice-and may have violated campaign laws. W/o more, is that a good reason to seek impeachment (or pine for indictment, if constitutional)? Or is it a counterproductive distraction for Democrats, who must struggle to appeal to a sufficient (super)majority to rule?

      It's a real dilemma. What I've concluded is 1) impeachment is a blunt instrument which doesn't really work 2) impeachment is a political rather than legal choice 3) best way to see rule of law restored is for Trump to be defeated in election & then subject to prosecution

          Ideally impeachment would not be something everyone is so afraid of. It would actually help if it was normalized to a degree in that if a president commits a crime, that is it, they get impeached and removed. Everyone is afraid of it being abused but its riskier to not use now.

          Right! He must lose the election, not pushed out in any other way. Then any investigations can continue without him having the shield of the Presidency. Plus, he'll NEVER resign or quit

          What do you mean by 1)? When has an impeachment not worked?

          But do you really see this happening? He’s had a steady floor of about 40% and absent real economic calamity, I don’t see that changing

          How is this a relevant or useful intervention?

          I think #3 is especially right. He deserves to be impeached but you’ll never get enough senators to convict even with a smirking gun and trump will never resign. Electoral defeat is the most realistic and most democratic way forward
