      1. I keep thinking about this amazing thread. It sheds light on the Dem leadership decision to slow-walk or stall impeachment. The main argument is a political one (impeachment meaningless unless GOP on board). Does it hold?https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1129831615952236546 …

      Here are my principal conclusions: 1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report. 2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct. 3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances. 4. Few members of Congress have read the report.

      2. I'm under no illusion that there are many Republicans like Justin Amash, who will break with Trump & say what he did is impeachable. But even if vast majority of GOP is Trumpized, not all of GOP is.

      3. Even if only a few GOP congress break with Trump & vote for impeachment, it's a significant wedge. It's good to get on the historical record that even members of his party acknowledged Trump committed crimes. Pelosi's stalling forecloses that possibility.

      4. This is the political possibility that stalling impeaching forecloses: the opportunity to reach Republicans (both in congress and out) who might be persuadable. There aren't many but it's valuable to create a wedge: https://twitter.com/maxberger/status/1129847914413645824 …

          Ok but couldn’t it also befall the same fate as the green new deal, where nobody votes for it when they feel like they are being put on the spot?

          The fearful + allergic reaction among some against "creating a wedge" is bc Dems can't even conceive that it's possible to be a partisan for the public good.

          If impeaching Trump for obstruction of justice is a good idea, I take it you have now changed your mind and have now decided that impeaching Bill Clinton for obstruction of justice was also a good idea?

          Or... not rushing into impeachment allows time for the concept to percolate. Had the Dems run impeachment hearings in April as some demanded, this Congressman might well have forgone his deep dive and just sided with his team.

          My guess is that Pelosi is slow walking impeachment in order to pound the wedges & widen the cracks among Republicans I still believe there will be impeachment summer & Trmp's taxes will put paid to his Presidency.

          Or maybe impeachment causes wavering Republicans to rally around their embattled president. At least that's how the media will play it.
