      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.

      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.

      I should add that I've been skeptical of the utility of impeachment since Trump's election but I also don't see how, after the facts reported in the Mueller report, a self-respecting opposition party doesn't begin impeachment proceedings, whatever the outcome.

          I'm on your trajectory. Maybe it was annoyance at Hoyer's statement, maybe agreement w/ AOC/Warren. Maybe the totality of the evidence, idk. But hoping for an organic, supermajority repudiation of Trump won't happen, needs a push from House Judiciary ctte

          What is the point of an indictment if there is no chance of a conviction? The Constitution gives the House, as an independent chamber, some other limited powers to hold the President accountable. Why is ineffectual impeachment the best option?

          Allows the Ds to control the narrative Keeps trumps wrongdoing in the news Ties up the admin so they can do less damage Convinces the Courts they mean business Might reveal more crimes Excites the D base Might stop the next R president from doing worse

          At the very least, impeachment would force the president t answer questions posed by people in Congress. So far he has avoided every challenging interview. This one would be on everyone's television screen.

          Dems are not (of course) His Majesty's Loyal Opposition--they wouldn't have subpoena power otherwise--but point of Judiciary hearings is largely to tear down 45's royalist pretenses via Constitution, Bible, memes, whatever it takes.
