I doubt that Trump is exactly innocent in the situation though

2019-10-17 12:26:49 UTC  

He's playing chess again

2019-10-17 12:26:57 UTC  

clearly he is not. you can go after the bidens without any of that

2019-10-17 12:27:06 UTC  

the FBI has foreign offices exactly for this

2019-10-17 12:27:07 UTC  

Trump could have avoided this entirely by punting it to the State Department, or writing a check for op ed research. He'd still be chasing a dumb conspiracy theory, but nothing illegal.
Instead he has his own personal lawyer, which we don't even know the full extent of his clearance with national security, scuttling around with foreign powers asking for dirt. What business does Guiliani have being there?

2019-10-17 12:27:38 UTC  

Because he has the power to

2019-10-17 12:27:39 UTC  

it would take 3 seconds to find an FBI special agent with a hardon against democrats to take that cse

2019-10-17 12:27:49 UTC  

He doesn't trust the FBI

2019-10-17 12:27:51 UTC  

and it would be done properly, with chain of custody for evidence, etc

2019-10-17 12:27:57 UTC  

he's the president, he can change it

2019-10-17 12:28:01 UTC  

Properly with the corrupt FBI

2019-10-17 12:28:06 UTC  

what does 'not trust' the fbi mean

2019-10-17 12:28:16 UTC  

he doesn't trust them because most are not corrupt

2019-10-17 12:28:48 UTC  

Well unfortunately for Trump @Puerto Rican Nelson , an impeachment does not require anything illegal to occur

2019-10-17 12:28:57 UTC  

it's a purely political process that can have criminal outcomes

2019-10-17 12:29:00 UTC  

Sure.

2019-10-17 12:29:09 UTC  

Pelosi isn't going to do it, but that's a diff issue

2019-10-17 12:29:18 UTC  

practically he's going to win, because pelosi is whatever she is

2019-10-17 12:29:51 UTC  

If Dems want to win 2020 for sure, they need to nut up and go for impeachment.

2019-10-17 12:30:05 UTC  

it's not just about dems winning, they want Biden, maybe warren as a risky backup

2019-10-17 12:30:13 UTC  

their worst outcome is a bernie president probably

2019-10-17 12:30:25 UTC  

it's not just dems versus republicans, the establishment dems are also against the 'justice dems'

2019-10-17 12:30:53 UTC  

And then the Senate will throw it out

2019-10-17 12:31:10 UTC  

I don't think impeachment is the wisest strategy, voting him out in the election would be a sounder process

2019-10-17 12:32:05 UTC  

Dismissal

2019-10-17 12:32:23 UTC  

Who said anything about conviction in the senate? Get Trump's dumb ass to testify under oath, watch him prejur himself dozens of times, then show republicans ignoring it, as they did with his obstruction of justice.

2019-10-17 12:33:00 UTC  

McConnel told repubs to get ready for it, thanksgiving, 6 day a week meetings

2019-10-17 12:33:20 UTC  

The Democrats need to actually provide sound positions in their campaigns, not talk about big orange constantly if they want to win.

2019-10-17 12:33:37 UTC  

And to actually talk about them more

2019-10-17 12:33:58 UTC  

They already have that in the works. How is Trump going to defend his status quo?

2019-10-17 12:34:01 UTC  

It's both. it's two different things. impeachment is one thing, important, and it involves existing house members. the primaries are also important and need ot be done

2019-10-17 12:34:12 UTC  

it's one or the other, gov still rolls on during an election

2019-10-17 12:34:41 UTC  

Acquittal

2019-10-17 12:35:31 UTC  

There's dozens of things to attack Trump on, including holding him to standards of success republicans would desire. Failing to repeal and replace Obamacare is embarrassing as fuck, and they know it.

2019-10-17 12:35:55 UTC  

well that's not a democrat talking point, but that would be good for a republican primary opponent to use

2019-10-17 12:36:51 UTC  

And of two-thirds of the Senate don't care like you said ....acquittal or dismissal

2019-10-17 12:37:28 UTC  

You're missing the other consequences of impeachment entirely. Always to the finish line of whether Trump meets a criminal standard.

2019-10-17 12:37:28 UTC  

you never know until it comes up. when they have to actually put their name to something in the record, sometimes change
