      1. One big decision Dems face is what sort of impeachment do they want -- a narrow one or a broad one? Do they focus on the Ukrainian stuff or throw everything but the kitchen sink at Trump?

      2. It's a tough choice. Trump has committed many crimes, some documented in the Mueller report, so why not draw up an indictment that includes them all?

      3, The problem with a broad impeachment is that it'll risk becoming a slog, with Trump/GOP/FOX muddying the waters by litigating small details.

          Then it seems obvious. Narrow it is.

          That could be a mistake. Trump has a very different set of political factors than Nixon did, including current public perception of corruption. His floor is high enough that he will never be removed, and his ceiling low enough that he will always be massively unpopular.

          Long slog is good! Don't fool yourself, McConnell will NOT hold the trial until the politics change through polling. Which means everything dies in the House, so no point in staying narrow. Keep the initiative!

          The main deal is that this isn't exactly compartmentalized either. The Ukraine deal is pretty well connected to other crimes and misdealings that Trump is part and parcel to. Trying to narrow it by misguided necessity means ignoring that which puts the affair into perspective.

          In some ways, impeaching Trump over the Ukraine feels like busting Capone for tax evasion, but really it would be like busting Capone for a single murder. Not by any means the full extent of his crimes, but something very significant nonetheless. I think they should go that route

          Dead on accurate. The GOP acts as T's legal defense team. When you have a defendant facing a broad range of counts the tactic is to pick the weakest one or two, take them apart as best you can, and say, "Well, it's obvious all of this is garbage." I agree, it's not an easy call

          On the other hand: 2016 turned on "emails" as the just-one-thing, vs Trump's amorphous awfulness. So what are the differences this time?
