      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.

      2. If you say, "we won't impeach unless we have GOP buy-in" you are saying "impeachment decision won't be made on the merit but on whether GOP wants to." Bu we already know where GOP stands: he can shoot someone on 7th Ave. & they will stick to him.

      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.

          They are so scared of failing they’d rather had it over to the republicans and blame them for the fact it went nowhere. Sad.

          They can be “principled” and lose both impeachment & weakening themselves to independents (the ones who are making the balance of power sway) with 4 more years of Trump, or try to be strategic to minimize chances of such horrific outcome. Option 1 seems rather counterproductive

          And doubtless a one-sided precedent.

          Muller’s report was misrepresented andcredacted. Investigations are ongoing while Mueller himself is yet to speak publicly.

          Censure is an alternative. I'd pick one thing, maybe his obstruction of justice regarding just Jeff Sessions. Dems could say they just want to go on record saying that it's impeachable, but they understand Republicans aren't ready to do their duty.

          For what it’s worth, the issue is removal from office. And the gop literally does have a veto over that. Indeed they could have 15 Republican senators vote to remove him and the rump wld still have a veto.

          The goal is removal. The issue at hand is accountability. It's an opportunity to make a strong public case.

          I’m concerned about all the crimes he and his family will now commit, the further destruction of the government and our international reputation during his final two years in office because ABSOLUTELY no one is looking or will hold him accountable. At least there was Mueller.
