    Pelosi caved to the pressure of T rump continuing to commit crimes willy nilly.  She knew as well as you that impeachment could play to T rump’s benefit in the coming election.  And she knows that the chances of T rump being removed from office by impeachment are very very poor.

    But what can you do when the POTUS is obviously committing a crime, AND that crime involves undermining the coming election to his advantage?  Just poke your head in the sand?

    Again, the jury part of impeachment is in the Senate.  The Repubs have the majority.  Worse than that, removal from office takes 2/3 of the Senate.  Therefore, it is not a fair trial at all.  The jury is stacked towards the T rumpists. It would take ALL of the Dems PLUS 20 Repubs to remove him from office.

    And you keep bringing up $32 Million.  Do you mean for the Mueller report?  That was a sham from the get go.  Mueller is a Repub.  Rosenstein was the acting Attorney General for that whole deal. (Also a Republican).  We eventually found out after they decided to end the investigation and after the new Attorney General (Bahr) flat out lied about what the report said, that Mueller was NEVER going to charge T rump for anything. Because the Republican Dept of Justice has a policy that a sitting President cannot be charged with any crime.  You talk about fairness, but how is it fair that T rump can be above the law?

    T rump has the undying loyalty of his MAGAheads.  If any Repub speaks out against T rump, then their dear leader has threatened to have them primaried. That means, he gets a more obsequious candidate to run against that Repub, and then tells his MAGAheads to vote for the new guy.  So any Repub who does not want to lose his job MUST toe the T rump line.

    >> So it is NOT news that T rump will very probably NOT be removed from office.  It is NOT news that when the sham vote in the Senate saves him, he WILL personally broadcast that he has been vindicated, that he was innocent all along, that it was all just a big witch hunt. Even with the Impeachment process, T rump is effectively, above the law with his control of the Senate.

    So we all know, and have known all along, that Impeachment is likely to result in T rump’s political favor.  Most of us smart liberals didn’t want to do it.   But the public needs to know the truth about how T rump is abusing the power of his office.  And the only way to get that out is thru the Impeachment process.

    If that keeps you from voting for the Dem in 2020, then you could be partially responsible for keeping this pathetic excuse for a POTUS, who may then become our 1st DOTUS in a second term.
