CALL YOUR REPS & DEMAND IMPEACHMENT - Here's Why...

"
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."

Heard on NPR this a.m. the reason many Democrats are hesitating on impeachment is they aren't hearing from voters on it.

Please join me in calling them today to urge them to impeach the criminal Trump.

Pick up your phones and call every legislator you can. If you can't get through to someone's office, do not give up because you will eventually get through to someone in their office. Once you get through, let them know how you feel about it. Phoning is one of the best ways for voters to be of influence.

You do your work, which I applaud, and those who feel there might not be an election to work for without impeachment do our work?

that with the power of an impeachment investigation, Trump will come up clean?

The Clintons did, and it backfired on the GOP.

Trump won't even release his taxes.

He would be exposed and sunk by impeachment.

Suspects will whine about how unfair it is...would you have believed he could get elected in the first place? I have mixed feelings about this..he deserves impeachment. But I fear helping him to a second term.

But believe this - they are not invulnerable.

Nixon believed in his "Imperial Presidency" too.

Will help us kick Trump out - whether through impeachment (which I wish we could do but knowing how long it took to get Nixon out, I'm not hopeful) or by revealing his crimes so fewer people vote for him.

The country needs to see the people who aided and abetted Trump in his crimes testify at public hearings under oath. We need to hear from the investigators about what they found and why they did/could not charge Trump or any member of his family.

Put it all out in the open, no secret reports, no spinning information we are not allowed to share. Light it up for everyone to see!

our base is demoralized because no one did anything about any of this.

There are risks to not acting too.

If you want Democrats to pretend that all of this is normal, business as usual, we lose.

Since 2016 or maybe going back to 2000 and fuck them.You vote for the Democrat always....no matter what . I am sick of a whining demoralized so called base. And by the way. They are not the base. I am boots on the ground, work every election ,vote in every election...some candidates I I like better than others, but if I always vote. I am the base and others like me, we show up. The losers ( not Democrats) who don't show up or vote for green scum like Jill Stein and who helped elect Donald fucking Trump are not the base.
