Mueller entirely changed the calculus around impeachment this week -- even Bernie had to give in and hop on the bandwagon after that melodramatic press conference. Mueller is now an overtly political actor, and impeachment is his desired political outcomehttps://spectator.us/the-inevitability-of-impeachment/ …

Amash is also important. Yes, he's just one person. But he's still a Republican. And his advocating impeachment proceedings gives the endeavor at least a faint patina of bipartisan support. He's also clearly approaching this from principle, even if you disagree with him (as I do)

One thing people haven't really recognized: Bernie changed his position on impeachment following Mueller's statement. Mueller is manifestly acting in a political capacity. So he exerted political influence on Bernie. What does that say about Bernie?

Dems do seem to be painting themselves into a corner. There are two relief valves. One is the media attention span. Two is the closer this gets to the ‘20 election, the easier it would be to punt. I think that is Pelosi’s game.

She's not doing anything unless she thinks she can win. Probably lobbying R Senators all day.

I think the real story here is that Joe Biden is a republican

There is only one way I can see Pelosi trying something like this, if she wants to minimize risk, which is probably impossible anyway. (I'll keep mum) I think Pelosi and the Dems have to stop doing the "maybe we will" card because it will make them look weaker and weaker.

Hold out? Why do people assume the dems in the house all would vote for impeachment when given the chance? I dont think they have the votes. W-out collusion as the centerpiece they just dont have the 'yes's to do it.

Impeachment inquiry /= impeachment

Prediction: Impeachment will never leave the House. Reasoning: Impeachment polls horribly. Ds don't have nearly enough votes. Pelosi is appeasing the crazies.

But it’ll be super embarrassing because they don’t have the votes for impeachment

They're toast either way. The base will eat them alive if they don't, and they'll get shellacked by the voters if they do. The chickens have come home to roost.

Mueller's case is too weak. He made it weaker by pulling back the curtain and showing us all how feeble and petty he is. It's Pelosi's prerogative, but it's not going to work.

That's because Biden is the only candidate running in 2020. Every other candidate is running for 2024. (Except Bernie - who's just running for his Revolution)
