The terrifying thing about the national security establishment is not that it is full of crafty, amoral manipulators, but that it is full of former Eagle Scouts who deeply believe in truth, justice, and the American Way. Their fervent belief in America will doom us all

Talleyrand was a son of a bitch, but he never would have thrown the election to Trump the way Comey did, from sheer moral vanity. So maybe let's not listen to this crowd, who gave us Trump, when deciding how best to be rid of him

(If you think that there is some scenario where the Senate would convict after impeachment, then we disagree but I have no quarrel with you. I'm annoyed with people who recognize the harsh political reality but moralize about duty)

This has been my basic position for a long time, but I'm starting to wonder whether there might be a political benefit to impeachment even without conviction. Thoughts on that?

I think that's a much more interesting argument. Like, would compiling an official dossier of Trump wrongdoing outweigh the mobilizing effect of a highly polarized impeachment process on his supporters? I can't see it denting his support in an America where Fox News is thriving

It strikes me as the right approach would be to hold impeachment hearings in the house on the mountains of shady conduct and then never refer it to the senate for conviction “due to the impending election” - allows airing of crimes & keeps them in news w/o downside of acquittal.

Subpoena everyone, hold lickspittles in contempt, dominate the news with corruption (dig our Reince / Price / that Montana interior douchebag) and let Warren make her case on the bottomless corruption in the Republican Party. D’s took wrong lessons from Benghazi

Unless you believe that impeachment is its own form of censure.
