@CevallosLaw You told @AliVelshi on @MSNBC that @SpeakerPelosi should not begin impeachment process unless she thinks she can get the GOP senators to convict. I disagree. It should be based on probable cause for the reasons listed in the following tweet.

Reasons probable cause should be used to decide when to begin impeachment:
1) We can't predict what the Senate will do until we fully investigate
2) The jury (Senate) is currently compromised & corrupt. The suspect holds power over them. It's in their interest not to convict

3) There is no way to predict what the appellate courts and the Supreme Court will do. This another reason to develop & expose the truth
4) Impeachment is a political process. This means the American public is also the jury & they have a right to see & hear all the evidence.

5) Foregoing impeachment because I can't guarantee a conviction is like saying
-I am not seeking medical treatment because there is a less than 50% chance of recovery.
- or I am a soldier but won't fight in a battle because there is a good chance we will lose

- or I am a public defender and I won't represent clients I think are guilty or have very little evidence on their side.
It is Nancy Pelosi's constitutional duty to begin the impeachment process. Trump continues to obstruct justice & he is doing irreparable harm to our democracy

What would America be today if we had not started the impeachment of Richard Nixon?
Justice delayed is justice denied
The "Presidency" is sacred & must be protected against assaults by Trump & his extra-judicial, extra-legislative extra-legal super-corruption team
#ImpeachTrump

Without a robust impeachment of Donald Trump, he & future offenders will know they can continue their criminal and corrupt activity and never be held accountable. We must stand up & show them that crime doesn't pay.
