    Jeet Heer Retweeted Greg Sargent

    I came out in favor of a narrow impeachment because I thought it would politically wise to do quickly & not impede Democratic nomination. But this piece has me rethinking issue since a narrow impeachment could impede oversight.https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1177598310862995462 …

    If Democrats focus the impeachment inquiry solely on the Ukraine matter, it could weaken the legal hand of the Judiciary Committee in its own oversight battles, a former House counsel tells me. I tried to unravel the situation here. It's complicated: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/27/democrats-are-taking-big-impeachment-risk-its-not-what-you-think/ …

        @ThePlumLineGS has been spot-on for a while now re: impeachment calculations.

        there's no clear-cult answer at this point. ANY course of action has its weaknesses and long-term consequences. this is why this is a crisis and hopefully leaders will spring up to make these decisions and deal with the potential consequences.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Here is the problem with a wide impeachment. Who exactly has the confidence that they won't blow it? After three years of botched hearings and bloviated questioning, do we have the confidence that the Democrats won't botch a long, elongated investigation process?

        what’s to botch? hold hearings, subpoena officials and documents. let the trump hangers-on turn on each other and implode, as they’re already doing. the only way to mess up is to go so fast and so narrow that voters forget by November 2020

        Why doesn’t Greg Sargent get more play in general?

        We need to learn the lesson from the Mueller investigation: needlessly narrowing the focus hampers obtaining supporting evidence.

        Don't forget that Trump's taxes might be hiding some easily provable bits of tax/loan fraud which is trivial to prove.

        I feel like most of the puzzle pieces are already public knowledge and there just needs to be some piecing the years of investigation already done together.

        Not only impede oversight, but prevent Congress from making the case against Trump to the public. For this to work, Dems need to present +/- *unequivocal* evidence of Trump's transgressions.
