I am suggesting that the House impeach Trump for two reasons: 1) he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors; and 2) impeachment will distract Trump from further harming the national interest.https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/09/23/strategic-case-impeaching-donald-trump/?tid=ss_tw …

I have three words in reply to the Dan Drezner Distract Him strategy: Wag the Dog. Ahh, I can't stop! Surely we remember the Dec 1998 split screen of Clinton bombing Iraq while House Reps discussed impeachment. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/clinton-orders-airstrike-on-iraq-dec-16-1998-232571 …

I was sure there was a summer of '98 Wag the Dog story. Bill and I were both summering at Martha's Vineyard and my low price rental was under the flight path of his comings and goings. Embassy bombing, Sudan, Afghanistan.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-aug-21-me-15131-story.html …

What I remember most about that Afghan bombing presser: we were at the Jersey Shore, w/an old TV with no remote, & our 1-year-old son kept running across the room & turning the TV off just to amuse himself.
