Charles Pierce: The President* Has Done Too Many Things, and Too Many People Know About Them

[kpete]

"They did too many things. Too many people know about it. There is no way to keep it quiet. The time is going to come when impeachment is going to hit this Congress and we better be ready for it."

—House Majority Leader Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. to Speaker Carl Albert, January, 1973, as reported in How The Good Guys Finally Won by Jimmy Breslin.



The President* Has Done Too Many Things, and Too Many People Know About Them
It has begun.
BY CHARLES P. PIERCE

Look between the lines of all that Beltway weaselspeak. See all the tiny white flags waving? Steny Hoyer is so deeply a part of the political establishment that he probably sleeps every night atop a pedestal in Statuary Hall. And, clearly, his resistance is crumbling into tiny flakes and blowing away on the fresh spring breezes.

This president* is going to be impeached by the House of Representatives. It is now unavoidable. He's done too many things and too many people know about them. This is going to be one helluva summer. And it's building now like a thunderstorm over the mountains, and there's no way to stop it.

I believe there is a wave coming that will dwarf the 2018 midterms. The recent anti-abortion legislation in Talibama and elsewhere should doom the GOP in 2020. I predict we'll see the most blatant GOP attempts at election fraud to date. We'll also see outside interference. Still, it will be for naught. Women will be the agents of the GOP's demise, and rightly so.
