MASSIVE SCREW-UP
Continued dithering by Dem leaders on impeaching Trump has had an extremely damaging effect on the power of #impeachment to protect the rule of law.
They thought it would strengthen their hand to appear reluctant, but waffling has had the opposite effect.

I hate to say this, but I increasingly believe that #impeachment will be far less effective now than it would have been out of the gate in January.
Mealy-mouthed Dem excuses for inaction have telegraphed to the public that impeachment is entirely a partisan political calculus.

Just to be clear: I believe more strongly than ever that Dems should #impeach NOW. And it isn't about Mueller. Incitement of violence against the press is enough. What this thread is saying is that #impeachment will have less teeth than it would have a few months ago.
Here's more from @ThePlumLineGS on how Dem leaders are bungling #impeachment.
