"The fifth seems to be on its way." LOL.

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who served under President Clinton, floated four reasons this week he said could justify an effort to impeach President Trump.

"By my count, there are now four grounds to impeach Trump. The fifth seems to be on its way," Reich tweeted alongside a screenshot of his reasons.

1. Then there's article 25

5. Yes, I think that is the way to go. It allows them to CYA.

Then, maybe Pence's VP can Article 25 him too. LOL.
I can dream. I think that may be how we get rid of DT. He will probably start giving more deference to his cabinet when Bannon figures that out, if he hasn't already.
Bannon wants an apocalypse. Not rational, but he does.
It is hard for rational people to accept that someone else acts in a way that appears to us to be against his own self interest. To him, it IS in his intetest.
(Crazy, smart mean people become suicide bombers.)

I just hope we can get rid of DT before Bannon accomplishes his obsession. Look how far he has come though. He makes Karl Rove seem like a nun.

8. I agree

2. As much as I want to, the time isn't right, as Reich implies

We would lose right now. The votes aren't there yet. Only when the Repubs are really scared of losing an election, will it even happen. Of course, they pretty much have to be running at least half of the time. Another problem is, when all of the info starts coming out about DT, they will be ratting out themselves. Both sides have motives to keep the lid on...not just fear of losing an election, but being exposed of crimes they themselves committed, including treason.

4. My fear is that our whole government has been compromised.

Who knows how far this goes? Trump is the piece de resistance. But the more the pieces start trickling out, the more it seems the entire republican party is on the coup. Everyone from Trump to Pence to Bannon to McConnell to Ryan to Gorsuch to Fox News to Hannity to Limbaugh to Alex Jones to the billionaire donors to the Heritage Foundation seems to be in on this, and they're OK with it. It may be years, decades even before we find out exactly what happened. Our whole government has been compromised. This is what a real conspiracy looks like, and it seems the accusers are actually the perpetrators.

7. Well said. They are making a big production of Mike

Pence being sqeeky clean, and so is he. He is their Plan B. I don't believe he is as clean as they say, but even Bannon keeps him sidelined. They are not going to bring down themselves by exposing everything in an impeachment hearing. Given the heads of most of these investigations, they are a sham. I think if the heat gets high enough, the generals will turn on him. He may regret having all of those military people. I think DT/Bannon thought they could count on them to follow the chain of command, CIC. I had hope for State, but what an embarrassing stooge he is. I think he will probably resign after a respectable period of time to spend more time with his family.

9. Yes, compromised more and more every day,

and many/most agency decisions made are and will be tainted for years. He and his are doing bannon's job, trashing the U.S. I've hated cheney, he's the only one from the 'w' years I've said I hate. bannon is an entirely different thing.

3. Ryan says

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

6. Ducks are beginning to form into a row for "El Booto Grande."

I'm going to enjoy every moment.
