1. It's worth unpacking Nancy Pelosi's case against impeachment: "You're wasting your time, unless the evidence is so conclusive that the Republicans will understand." She's giving the GOP veto power over impeachment.

3. The Mueller report is only the latest it of evidence that Trump has committed acts that at the least merit an impeachment process. But Dem leadership has handed over veto on initiating that process to Trump's own party.

4. Mueller has given a roadmap to impeachment & Trump a roadmap for future Republican presidents to commit crimes: keep GOP on your side and there will be no impeachment. That's a terrible precedence.

5. It's worth noting that this is asymmetrical surrender. The GOP won't extend the same courtesy to Dems. They impeached Clinton for far lesser offences.

Here's my thing - just don't say it. Don't take it off the table. Maybe avoiding impeachment ends up being the most politically pragmatic thing to do, but taking it off the table now is an own-goal.

Do you have a trial knowing you have no chance of conviction? What do you gain?

You gain the narrative. You hold impeachment hearings, first in committee, and then in the entire House. And you spell out in as much detail as possible every crime and obstruction of justice, and you make the Republicans own the fact that they still won't impeach.

5th Ave. It's where Trump Tower is. We know he wouldn't walk two blocks.

I thought it was 5th Ave, but we digress and we can agree to disagree like real adults.

I'm so glad democrats flipped the house so they can do what republicans want to do- said no one ever. Impeachment is worth pursuing for the hearings, the transparency, to have public testimony under oath.
