Because there really is
nothing to "investigate" when it comes to Geneva violations and illegal spying. The regime admits and "defends" these clearly impeachable offenses -- in direct contradiction to rulings by the USSC and the FISA court. An emperor doesn't get more naked than this. The "investigations" question is whether to hold "impeachment hearings" or "open-ended fact-finding hearings" on specific matters (that may or may not lead to impeachment charges).
Doing the former (while not even "required") could well be helpful to bringing more of the public (already a majority) and even Republicans back into the reality-based community where impeachment is imperative to defend the Constitution and begin to Redeem Our National Soul.
Doing the latter displays weakness and sends the message that there is some uncertainty about the ongoing reality that is staring us in the face. That is why the "off the table" comment is so damaging. It is a self-defeating prophesy regardless of whether or not there's some "strategery" behind it. If you don't broach the accusation, you garner zero attention or moral support for the activity.
(Oh, and since we're strategerizing,
only one of these options GETS ON TV. The other remains on page A26 twice a week, until something non-somnambulistic happens -- or a "Worse Than 9/11" event makes it all a waste of time and effort.)
The public is already way ahead of the LieberDem "leadership" on this. Only 44% oppose because they're not being totally gaslighted by the DC/Euphemedia Wurlitzer. And 1/4 of that "opposition" are Dems following their craven "leadership." The rest don't need to be "educated," they just need to see action.
The public already knows that the never-elected, never-legitimate regime is the biggest obstacle to improvement in any situation, foreign or domestic. If the DC Dems ever screw up the will to fulfill their oaths of office, the bulk of the remaining public will be offered the black and white choice they want (need). Support for impeachment will reach 70% nearly overnight. All that remains is to pull the trigger.
But inaction has its own risks. If the LieberDems fail to act, they'll rightly (and permanently) be perceived to be too weak to fight for our nation or to stand up to special interests. It may already be too late, as the "off the table" comment was a slap in the face to a cautiously-hopeful electorate and a finally-energized Dem Party base.
Sadly, many continue to
Rationalize This Inaction.
If they don't "get it" that this was about "get bush" and not about "get your faded wish list filled" it will be their last fleeting hurrah, as Rove is already claiming. And they may eventually "get it" another way as they become actively complicit with the ongoing war crimes themselves.
As for what we can do,
"Violence" is Still the Answer.
Impeachment IS our positive agenda.
It is our ONLY moral, patriotic option.
