Twitter abuzz with impeachment chatter and ideas

Engage or not engage, McConnell/Graham bias .... we are having a national conversation even if the Senate GOP isn't.




@DrGJackBrown
By NOT sending Impeachment to the Senate, Nancy Pelosi will:

• Neuter Trump & McConnell
• Anger Trump — thus, he'll make tactical errors
• Prevent Trump from using any sham acquittal as a tool for his re-election
• Allow time for more discovery & Trump's taxes to be exposed




@kurteichenwald
1. Based on rules of impeachment trials, Chief Justice Roberts, who will preside over any impeachment trial of Trump, must exclude both @senatemajldr
McConnell and @LindseyGrahamSC
from playing any role in the proceedings. Or demolish the credibility of @Scotus
forever...

if Roberts forces them to recuse from the proceedings, and enough other senators,
that have voiced their trumpism, the democrats could impeach on a majority and republicans pay no price
with their constituents. Maybe they are planning this.
