There is the analysis I've been waiting for.


Heard on NPR this morning that one reason Dem reps are hesitating to support impeachment is they aren't hearing from voters.

START CALLING!!!

1. If we don't know beyond a reasonable doubt what the counterintelligence investigations

found/will find shouldn't we proceed assuming the worst fears are true? Isn't national security so important that to assume otherwise is foolhardy? If our elected officials are just crossing their fingers in the face of a lot of publicly available evidence that the WH isn't compromised but is in competent, well meaning hands then how much is being risked? Everything?

4. The Republic

is worth it.

2. +1 Rudy G: "It's OK for Trump to get help from Russia"

[orangecrush]

5. Not so fast, Rudy

You traitors haven't gotten away with it YET.

[Ilsa]

3. kick & rec. nt

6. I trust Ashna's judgement on this

Her credentials as a counterintelligence expert speak for themselves.


"The U.S.-born Rangappa, whose parents are from Karnataka, came out of the training and joined the New York Division of the FBI as a special agent in 2002. She believes that, at the time, she became the first Indian-American woman to do so. She specialized in counterintelligence investigations, assessing threats to national security, conducting classified investigations on suspected foreign agents and performing undercover work. After serving for three years, she quit. Planning to get married, she moved to Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs as an associate dean. “I was thinking of starting a family at that time,” she said.

From action to academia

Rangappa is now an associate dean at Yale, where she had received her law degree. She also teaches National Security Law and related courses, and is one of the most sought-after commentators for newspapers and TV on national security issues, particularly on the current investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election."

7. before I get on the phone demanding anything I want to give the House time to do what they feel

needs to be done, the best way to go about impeachment, not rush them. I believe they will have to start hearings very soon once they figure out for sure that they will get zero cooperation from the fascists.

[orangecrush]

8. No rush

but I called all 8 of my Pa. reps.

Our voices count.

16. You are right.

The House Dems have two years of crap to overcome. Give them another few months. After that there is no reason to not start impeachment hearings. If we fear failing because of the Senate, then we definitely lose for not trying. The Committee Chairpersons are the very finest, intelligent, capable people we have. Pelosi needs to trust them.

21. But at least they should look like

they are gearing up for it.

Instead of weak reprimands.

[yaesu]

24. I think this is the way it will play out

9. I called my Cong. delegation, Pelosi, Nadler and Schiff's offices Thursday last week --

the same day the Mueller Report came out -- to say I support starting impeachment hearings immediately and why.

[LiberalArkie]

10. In other words, they don't know right from wrong and need the voters to tell them?

[lunatica]

13. What overrides right and wrong is political expediency

What we need to let them know is that it is politically expedient for them to have impeachment hearings if they want to keep their jobs.

[orangecrush]

17. What you said

x 1000.

[c-rational]

11. Agreed-start calling. I just called the offices of Nadler, Pelosi, and Hoyer to say yes-Start

Impeachment Hearings.

[orangecrush]

18. Thank you!

They need to hear from us!

[Texin]

12. If they don't impeach, the upcoming election in 2020 won't matter.

It won't matter because there won't be a Republic left to "win". With Trump suing Congress to block their subpoena for his tax records, they should see exactly what this monster is going to do to remain in office until death.

He is already thumbing his nose at the laws and the institutions of the land. He's doing it with impunity and with no consequence. He must be stopped and the Dems' popularity won't be worth shit because he and his rethug cronies will run roughshod over everything.

[orangecrush]

19. Agree 100%.

[sprinkleeninow]

27. Politically expedient and deservedly warranted. Patriotism! eom

[MarianJack]

14. Done!

I live in Chellie Pingree's district up here in Maine, I called both her's and our Second District Congressman's (Jared Golden) offices just this morning.

RESIST!

[orangecrush]

20. Thank you very much!

You will be able to look back and remember you took action to stop the lunatic.

[MarianJack]

23. You're welcome!

RESIST!

[panfluteman]

15. Wake Up Democrats!!! The Guy in the White House, The Guy Being Investigated,

Is the prime beneficiary of Russian hacking!!! And Trump is an equal opportunity employer regarding his solicitation of corrupt and illicit business relations masquerading as foreign policy. It would definitely be open season on America if we don't start impeachment proceedings.

[orangecrush]

22. Very well put

Excellent points.

[Duppers]

25. I wrote 4 days ago but need to call.
