- after yesterday’s Mueller statement that there is strong evidence that Trump obstructed justice, Dems are pushing harder for impeachment.
- Right now Trump is fighting on many fronts to suppress many investigations of many different forms of alleged wrongdoing. He must plug more holes in the dike than he has fingers.
- But if Impeachment, then Trump just has to concentrate on that item
- Even if indicted by the House, he will never be removed by the Repub Senate
- After his Senate acquittal, Trump will say something like This issue was litigated. I have been exonerated.
And most importantly:
Impeachment now threatens to turn the 2020 election into a referendum on the Democrats’ methods in Congress, not Trump’s wrongdoing in the presidency, in the campaign, and in private life.
