that I am for impeachment now is because of the courts. Trump/Barr are stonewalling everything, ignoring requests for documents, ignoring subpoenas, refusing a federal judges order to release Flynn evidence.

Democrats have no one to interview, they are interviewing John Dean for god's sake. This is going to be decided in the courts. Trump/Barr don't even want to win the court cases, they want them delayed until the election. Democrats want the courts to expedite decisions before election time. Republicans will have a pretty good argument in the courts not to expedite since Democrats are taking their time going for impeachment. Republicans can claim that Democrats are just carrying out a witch hunt against Trump, that they have no evidence to impeach him. Starting an impeachment inquiry would disprove the Republican argument.

I think if we had not retaken the House it would be much, much worse. pecosbob Jun 2019 #1
