I understand Pelosi wanting to dot every I, cross every T, but she must open an enquiry next

Obvious we cannot leap straight to impeachment, but the legal doors and pathways an impeachment enquiry opens up must now be unlocked and thrust wide asunder.

The Rump administration has already shown they will not give one inch, one micrometre on any and ALL fronts.

Either we venture further down the road and equip ourselves with new and more efficacious toolkits of multiple stripes, or we must just accept that nothing much is ultimately going to come of all this, due to the fears of electoral repercussions.

Those fears may very well win the coming days, weeks, months, but make no mistake, if it were parties reversed (and they will be reversed someday soon), the Rethugs would go for the kill shot from a thousand different angles. They would have their millions of thug minions in the streets BAYING for blood. They would be relentless, ruthless, viscous. I have little faith we can adapt any of these necessary traits (as horrid as they may be) to the degree needed to derail this train of lawlessness that is Rump.
