Rachel: WaPo reports only two articles of impeachment to be drafted

[Fiendish Thingy]

Abuse of power and Obstruction of Congress.

Looks like they are going as narrow as possible, and ignoring articles for bribery and Obstruction of Justice, which IMO should have been the 4 minimum articles introduced.

1. Rec for agreeing with you

[SterlingPound]

2. 2 will be a mistake IMO

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. Big mistake

If the Democratic caucus can't agree on the four essential articles of impeachment, then perhaps we need some new blood in 2020.

3. Can't they impeach him later on other charges?

Say he is impeached and the Senate acquits. There is nothing in the Constitution that says he can’t be impeached again. Again and again. And again and again.

6. They can, and should, but I doubt Pelosi will allow it nt

[LonePirate]

4. Bribery (in the Constitution) and Ob. of Justice (like Clinton) are two articles that resonate.

Nobody cares about Obstruction of Congress and Abuse of Power gains us nothing since folks in the center and right think he's not powerful enough.

9. Clearly. WTF is going on?!

Going soft again.

7. If this report concerns you, I urge you to call (not email) your reps nt

10. "Abuse of Power" includes just about anything including bribery, obstruction, and worse.

Keep it simple and cram it down their throats quickly before people get tired of it. Most folks don't really enjoy seeing GOPers skewered, like we do.

12. Agree nt

11. And the second-guessing continues

by people who don't know a fraction of what Pelosi knows and don't have a clue what her long-term strategy is.

It's particularly amusing seeing people who, just a couple of days ago, were instructing her to hold off on doing any articles at all until next year, now complaining because she's not presenting every possible article of impeachment right now.

[Hoyt]

14. Exactly.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. I haven't changed my position - they should wait until February

Too many court cases (including Trump's taxes) pending that could impact both the public's perception and the Senate's response.

19. The knee jerk reaction from armchair experts is so precious

[AlexSFCA]

13. it must be as narrow as possible

easy to understand, much harder to dispute. Then continue other investigations and law suits all the way to election day. This will media occupied instead focusing on trumps campaign. Yes, dem nominee will get no meaningful airtime but it was gonna happen either way.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. I would be surprised if Pelosi allows the inquiry to continue, let alone another vote on articles nt

[triron]

17. I fear that as well.
