🍑 It’s high time for a high crimes inquiry.

1/

Did President Donald Trump commit high crimes and misdemeanors?

2/

Will the House of representatives will use its power under the constitution to explore this question?

3/

Robert Mueller left a blueprint for House. Balls in their court. Lordy, how many metaphors do we need?

4/

And yes, I know, if after the inquiry, the House votes to impeach, meaning formally accuse the president of high crimes and misdemeanors —

5/

There will be a trial in the Senate presided over by the Chief Justice. And 2/3 of the Senate I needed to convict.

6/

Such a trial is way far into the future. Whether the Senate will fail to convict should not prevent the House from investigating the presidents high crimes and misdemeanors.

“But even if we do the math, history suggests that it is too soon to count the votes. .our politics are already divisive. And we cannot fix that by capitulation to corruption and criminality. Living through divisiveness is better than accepting defeat”
