(14,164 posts)Democrats needed to be swift and ruthless and announce impeachment either just after the Mueller report, or after Barr was found out to have mislead the public about Muellers findings, and Mueller wrote his letter of disagreement. We all know that the GOP, the RW media and even it turns out the MSM news would try and frame the narrative in Trump's favour, or turn it back on Democrats, as somehow it was a fault of their's that Mueller didn't come down harder.
They should have, could have, shaped that narrative themselves. That the Mueller report far from exonerating Trump, was damming, and more than enough to warrant impeachment, along with his other crimes and misdemeanours. Even if they have to feign anger. Pretend to care. Its up to Democrats to show up, be passionate, be singularly united in believing that more was needed than more strongly worded letters. But no, they allowed the MSM to define Democrats as spiit on the issue, as weak, as defeated.
It is now "common knowledge" that Mueller found nothing. That it was a waste of time and money. And that its in the past, and its too late to use Mueller's report now. Not saying that's all true, but its become "common knowledge".
Democrats blew their chance for the prime opportunity time. That's why I don't believe Nancy and Chuck will ever allow impeachment, and have never wanted it. They are firm on their belief that Democrats can beat him at the ballot box in 2020 and that that would be the safe conservative way to get back the WH. Personally I think they are playing with fire.
