Ongoing preps to steal 2020

Article: 'It's going to be a crisis': Turning out the lights at the undermanned FEC

Subtitle: The watchdog agency won't have enough members to legally conduct business - right in the midst of the 2020 campaign.

Donnie-der-Fuhrer and Moscow Mitch are conspiring to keep the FEC impotent through the 2020 election so they can cheat their way to victory without threat of those pesky "rules" being enforced. They'll get their 4th Reich one way or another.

From the article:

The nation's chief elections watchdog agency effectively shuts down on Saturday because it will no longer have enough members to legally meet and conduct business, prompting concern about whether the Federal Election Commission will be able to oversee how money is spent in elections and determine if campaigns are following the law.

David Simon, an attorney for the nonpartisan watchdog group Democracy 21, said that because of the resignation and lack of a quorum "the FEC will regress from a dysfunctional agency to one that, as a practical matter, ceases to function at all."

2. And what moral standing will Dems have to object to a theft in 2020 if they fail to impeach?

The house doesn't have the votes to impeach but, even if it did, moscow mitch's duma would acquit and trump would ride his victory lap through the election. No thanks.
