We were never played. The only reason Trump skated before is sheer hubris. It's that same hubris that is now doing him in. In that sense, Pelosi was correct: Given time, he would impeach himself. And no matter how hard his minions are trying to mitigate the damage, there is only so much they can do to save him from himself. It was only a matter of time before he did something that nobody could fix.

This man's corruption must be confronted, and this is how it must be done.

1. Contain Russian aggression in Ukraine
2. Get Trump

We have to do something about 1, even if we can’t reach 2

MF holding back aid to Ukraine has to stop.

The door has been opened and we COULD impeach him on numerous other charges! I do not believe they want that!
