      Just in structural terms, the politics of impeachment bend — almost inevitably — toward an alliance between official progressives and Never Trump elites. I hope you all are ready for this

      I dunno. In the House the most vociferous advocates of impeachment have been the Squad and the great foot-dragger has been Pelosi and the moderate dems. There is an ancien regime Resistance that loves impeachment but also lots of anti-Trump passion on the left.

      But honestly: you have an unpopular crooked oligarch as president who is using his office as a personal fiefdom for enrichment & political gain. Why should the left ignore that and cede the issue of corruption to establishment Dems & Never Trumpers?

      Because he’s going to be acquitted at the end of the deeply juridicial process, emboldening him to become more corrupt? And because he’s not being impeached for an offense that allows progressives to lead to charge.

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

      Impeachment in the house is still impeachment, whatever Senate concludes (i.e. Andrew Johnson & Bill Clinton were in fact impeached). @aoc & rest of squad have in fact led the charge on this in the House.https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1175619319432196096 …

      At this point, the bigger national scandal isn’t the president’s lawbreaking behavior - it is the Democratic Party’s refusal to impeach him for it.

      I know reps like Tlaib were out in front of this, but if it becomes about Trump compromising natsecurity (as many would like it to be) the progressives will fade into the background. & I’m aware of what impeachment is. What’s the point of an indictment w/o a chance of conviction?

      It lays out in a public way the crimes committed, and if the GOP Senate votes to acquit they can be be held responsible for it by voters. Issue doesn't have to be fame in NatSec terms -- it's about using public office for private gain. Pure corruption.

          Don’t voters already know Senate GOP is in the tank for Trump? If it is about making an official record of his crimes, shouldn’t the inquiry be as broad as possible? Otherwise you run the risk of diminishing the importance of admin abuses outside of the ambit of the proceedings.

          If you're saying the House Dems should be doing more oversight, sure. But in this case we have a clear-cut, documented (in his own words) case of wrong-doing. It's a slam dunk case. Let's make it and investigate the rest separately.
