I Hear Trump Wants The Dems To Get Impeachment Over With Fast......

I say - 'slow walk the impeachment'.

I believe that there is more damning evidence out there. We need to get to the bottom of the Rudy business; Parnas testimony and Nunes involvement.

In my opinion - the more damning evidence that can be included in the articles of impeachment - the harder it will be for the Repugs to defend Trump. They will be and should be backed into a corner to impeach Trump.

Trump wanting this over fast is to prevent additional evidence to be included and to force the trial into the Senate where - right now - he knows that the Repugs will stick with him yet.

After that vote - where he would beat impeachment - he will be embolden to break any law that comes along. We will be screwed.

If he wants impeachment to get over with fast - then he has the power to do that. He can 'resign'. That would end things rather abruptly for him.

I doubt that that is what is going to happen.

So my vote is to 'slow walk the impeachment'. Don't rush to a Senate vote because he wants it.

Sooner or later someone will decide to save their own sorry hide and throw their accomplices under the bus.

I think impeachment for Christmas is a great idea. The trial will be early next year when everyone is hunkered down for winter. Prime tv time.

because the one in the senate is tilted in the wrong direction.
they need to put as much of this shit on the teevee while they still control the process and the cameras.

On one side we're hearing "let's get it over with quickly."

On the other side, we're hearing "we want a real trial."

Heads they win, tails they lose.
