    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jim Acosta

    I kind of agree with Trump on this! I mean there are many, many things he's done that are impeachable. The Ukraine stuff is bad but not sui generis. The only reason to impeach on Ukraine is Pelosi thinks that she has votes of moderate Dems & (wrongly) can win some GOPhttps://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1204888256430641152 …

    Jim AcostaVerified account @Acosta
    Privately, he's stewing. Close adviser says Trump is somewhat taken aback that his actions toward Ukraine are ultimately what led to his likely impeachment: "Frankly, I think he's a little surprised it's the Ukraine thing that's done it." w/ @kaitlancollins and @Kevinliptakcnn

        It's more like getting Capone on tax evasion

        No, the reason is because it was obvious and egregious, and seemed credible from jump. Impeachment went from "Senate will never vote to convict & the American public will be annoyed at the 'waste of time'" to "Holy cats this is so obvious and egregious that we must address it."

        so the rest is not egregious or credible 🤔

        Correct. Even the average dullard can follow the plot.

        What did Al Capone go down for again? Not always the big things, but the details.

        I mean, if we're getting down to the nitty gritty, the man succumbed to syphilis. But perhaps that's putting too fine a point on it.

        The only reason to impeach on Ukraine is it's the worst of everything that he has done. So yeah, it is unique in that sense.
