Don't Trump's actions meet the threshold of

[choie]

High Crimes and Misdemeanors needed to start impeachment hearings?

[LuckyCharms]

1. Yes.

But unfortunately, it won't happen.

[RKP5637]

2. I was wondering the same. Just how much further is this going to go. I guess the GOP coup

is all for this. I seriously wonder if they are going to try to remain silent, as usual.

[Kablooie]

6. Of course they will.

No chance in hell they will put the future of America over their immediate re-election chances.

Though if they did vote for impeachment it might actually increase their votes right now.

8. And this is EXACTLY what the GD Dems need to do on the SCJ...Go dark and disappear.

this is classic foot dragging etc by the gop.
Most likely all members of congress are on a train to some hideout somewhere to get all their ducks in a row. hopefully no one gets killed at a train crossing this time (in their haste to go party etc.)

10. ... really strange unsettling times, void of adult leadership in the GOP. n/t

11. They are criminals in a hot zone it seems.

tends to make everyone birdy. Funny though that they are just going to go along w it.
Lots of other countries have evidence to proffer besides Spain and England. And it's not going to be good for the gop.

13. Our allies must be really concerned now as Trump on a global worldwide stage basically said

Putin/Russia is his hero and confident above all others, having explicit trust in them above the US and its allies.

3. Don't forget treason and bribery

Seems Spanky's going for more than a trifecta

[sinkingfeeling]

4. No, according to the Government of Putin (GOP) only a blow job meets

that definition.

5. I don't think so, and surprised John Brennan

would fire that shot so prematurely. The moment will come, but that was not it.

[choie]

9. Prematurely?

At the very least, he's failing to protect the U.S. constitution from enemies foreign and domestic by compromising the the validity and security of our future elections.

[Puzzledtraveller]

12. It doesn't come close, by itself

there would have to be much more, and my impression is that Trump wanted these reactions. What does he have to gain, if he wanted to make back room deals and assure Putin of this or that he does not need a summit that everyone knows about to do it. It was total smoke and mirrors to get us to bite, and or distract us, that's my honest opinion. He orchestrated the entire thing did he not? To what end?

7. The threshold is whatever the Republicans in Congress say it is

Unfortunately.

[marybourg]

14. Yes. But.
