Would have been interesting to see Justin Amash on that list. It would have made it harder to spin as a partisan hit job.

Or before Trump is acquitted. Just jam the Senate with impeachments - Pompeo seems ripe for one, and if Parnas' interview claims pan out, then Pence is up as well.
And who was the senior Republican on the investigation in the House, and didn't recuse himself.FlammableFlower wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 10:26 amOh look, Parnas has made a direct link to Nunes, who previously had no knowledge of any discussions with his aide and Parnas about digging dirt. Suddenly his memory is refreshed by phone records...

That's the thing. They can hide impeachment but as Trump deteriorates, it's quite possible that he'll actually admit to it on TV in such a way that even the republicans won't be able to explain it away. Probably whilst expressing contempt for his base.lpm wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 5:49 pmThe Republicans had this opportunity to get rid of a criminal with dementia who thinks the wheel was invented in the USA.
They declined to take it.
They are going to be regretting this in 6 months, when their guy is missing from the campaign trail and they're trying to defend Senators who will look corrupt, or stupid, or corrupt and stupid.

The Republicans, it appeared, had no idea that Sondland – a Trump ally who’d been appointed to be America’s man in Brussels after making a $1m donation to the Trump inaugural committee – was going to throw Trump, Perry, Giuliani, Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the entire Trump team under the proverbial bus.
But Sondland did. Under the bus they went.
“Everyone was in the loop,” he said. “It was no secret.”

I genuinely want to know (and have yet to get an answer from anyone other than "Oh no, that wouldn't happen"), what would happen if he just said "We're not having an election. Too much of a chance of vote rigging by Hillary, and we've done a poll and all Americans want me to stay, so we're not wasting the money on it."lpm wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 5:49 pmThe Republicans had this opportunity to get rid of a criminal with dementia who thinks the wheel was invented in the USA.
