POLL:
21 GOP senators are up for reelection in 2020. Dems afraid to consider impeachment say we’ll do better if we nix impeachment talk. We need to flip 4 seats. WILL WE DO BETTER if we nix it? Or keep it viable? Plz RT 👍

Granted, impeachment is bad for our country. Effectively removing the impeachment clause from the constitution (make no mistake, that's what Afraid-to-impeach will do) is worse. Think about it. It makes anyone working for the Executive Branch, above the law. See #ToadyBarr

Afraid to impeach? (Yes, we may come up short, BUT)
• Russian election help in 2020? No problem.
• Obstruct FBI investigations? No problem.
• Lie to Congress? No problem.
• Prosecute opponents? Absolutely!
• Trump orders you to break a law? No problem.

Afraid to impeach?? What if Congress made a criminal referral against a Trump lackey to @theJusticeDept and/or @FBI?? Remember, they no longer enforce obstruction of justice laws. Toady Barr & his lap dog, Chris Wray have already shown us who they are.

Among whose voters will Dems do WORSE in 2020 if we impeach?
KY McConnell
SC Graham
TX Cornyn
ME Collins
NE Sasse
NC Tillis
WV Capito
LA Cassidy
AR Cotton
MT Daines
WY Enzi
IA Ernst
CO Gardner
MS Hyde-Smith
OK Inhofe
GA Perdue
ID Risch
KS Roberts
SD Rounds
AK Sullivan

“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic..Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. It's about restoring honor & integrity to the office”– Lindsey Graham Jan 1999
washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…

By not having an “investigation to determine whether sufficient grounds exist for the House..to impeach”* (Watergate Roadmap, 1974) they’re allowing Trump to relax & it strengthens him. Will anyone vote for a Dem Wimp Party in 2020??

If the goal of investigations is not "to determine whether sufficient grounds exist for the House to exercise its constitutional power to impeach” they will be seen as a farce. If 50+% of the House votes to impeach. He's impeached. How does that hurt Dems in 2020?

Stop and think about this. If you let Trump know he won't be impeached, how's he going to act? How are GOP Senators going to act? How is AG Toady Barr, his U.S. Att'ys & his @FBI going to act? And, Russia will have a field day rigging the 2020 election. #PrecipiceOf1PartyRule

POLL: #PecipiceOf1PartyRule
If AG Bill Barr, Rod Rosenstein @theJusticeDept & Chris Wray @FBI held a press conference & promised to aggressively defend the 2020 election from Russian interference, would you:

Still afraid to start the impeachment processes??
“Donald Trump has ominously threatened to ‘turn the tables’ on those involved in the Mueller investigation, accusing them of treason and vowing to ‘bring them to justice’”. #PrecipiceOf1PartyRule

.#AfraidToImpeach?? That's silly.
NOBODY has explained how impeaching Trump then falling short of removal in the Senate trial is going to make Dems look worse in the 2020 election. "I was thinking of voting Democrat, until you guys impeached" said nobody, ever!

“Trump accuses Mueller report participants of 'treason' & vows to 'turn tables' on them”
Mueller was not afraid to recommend it & lay out roadmaps. Why be #AfraidToImpeach? "I was thinking of voting Democrat until you guys impeached Trump" said noone ever!

• "I was thinking of voting Democrat until you guys impeached Trump" – said by NOBODY, ever!

Don’t be #AfraidToImpeach – Trump hears voices
♫Still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
“Impeach” said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'♫
