The biggest reason I favor a formal impeachment announcement

Last edited Thu Sep 5, 2019, 02:24 PM - Edit history (1)

By the Speaker is in order to dominate the headlines and to bring his crimes to the forefront.

I realize removal with this Senate isn't going to happen however their lack of action can be a millstone around Republican Senator's necks at election time

And, as my good friend reminded me just now...he has broken many laws.

Expecting Trump to step down for "health" reasons before the election.

Would be hilarious if Pence or another Trump try to fill tiny void left after the announcement? (errr... run for President)

Meanwhile, dancing in the streets and massive "orange" parties begin everywhere?

Impeachment is coming and will be fast and relentless. Nancy is not going to be pressured to go on someone else's schedule. She knows exactly the right time to go for it.

Others call it letting our representatives know how we feel.
I'm proud of Rep. Mike Levin.
