      As a Menschevik, I find parts of story doubtful but we're all learning esoteric things. Acc to CRS rpt, impeachmt may well hv started

      You're not right abt initiation, just restating our previous understanding of it. CRS flatly contradicts/who knows how Supremes wld rule? 1/

      CRS does not flatly contradict. I researched every example cited in the CRS report; sorry but them's the facts.

      It says process is initiated by any member of House and nonmembers, GJ, etc. It's not our current vernacular but that's the black and white

      No. Under broad heading of "Initiation" it draws distinction btwn what "commences" impeachment vs what can "trigger" it. 2 different things.

      I'm going to look bad if I totally forgot how to read but in whole section on Initiation, there's nothing abt latter step of a Resolution

      You will look bad; I linked to the examples cited in the CRS report — I actually researched beyond to the primary sources.

      It says it can come through GJ or single member even if it hasnt before. But this prolly isn't best Hill for a Menschevik to die on :)

      Again, although this is a broken record bc you aren't interested in actually learning, that is NOT what it says.

          Mensch&Taylor's story has bigger problems than the "initiation" aspect, some of which you point out so I'll leave it for now except 1/

          I sure WISH it was true that the power to pardon witnesses/co-conspirators was limited in case like this. It's a good idea /2
