Let’s not beat around the bush - history books won’t say “legal scholars disagree on whether Trump was impeached.” The House voted and *passed* Articles of Impeachment. Legal maneuvering only gives Dems what they want - “impeachment” without the accountability. Try, Acquit, Done.
Seriously, what the **** are Republicans thinking? Wait until 2020, or 2022, if there’s a D Senate majority, and THEN they can take up impeachment? “No SCOTUS appointment from a [kind of] impeached President”? “DJT must recuse from X, Y, or Z because he’s [kind of] impeached”???
Still seriously, who thinks Pelosi didn’t think about not sending the Articles to the Senate until last night? Our Qs of “why are they rushing this?” have been answered - because they get the benefit of impeaching without the detriment. McConnell should hold the trial tomorrow.
NO ONE cared about impeachment because we all *knew* that DJT would be acquitted once the House shenanigans were over. If @senatemajldr thinks he’ll win public perception that DJT wasn’t technically impeached and media/history will so reflect, he needs to be sent to the nuthouse.
If @senatemajldr takes up the impeachment, at least we would then get to watch Pelosi/Dems/media twist themselves in circles screaming “we didn’t actually send the articles over!!” Make the history books reflect THAT. Geez, it’s not that hard to see what’s happening.
