In reply to the discussion: House panel moves to hold former White House official in contempt after he obeys Trump [View all]ancianita
(36,060 posts)21. Fine. We can just drag this out, then. But that's my issue. Get ON with impeachment proceedings
from the very first refusal to honor subpoenas. Period.
Get the evidence. Make the impeachment case.
That faster way will still take long enough. Impeachment might not bore voters or it might, because that's how they are.
A purposeful impeachment proceeding -- which doesn't look like the way they're doing it so far -- will have a better 2020 outcome for Democrats than a pre-impeachment slog.
My stance is to err on impeachment proceedings ASAP. There will be no loss of evidence from that path, and much less loss of time.
Maybe we'll even get on with seeing the Democratic Party primary events and nominee campaign on TV because of that.
Drag this evidence search out -- until 45 pardons himself and it all looks so lame duck -- that there will be too little time, if any, for a positive Democratic nominee to get air time and positive media coverage.

A pardon wouldn't do squat and would would be to the orange anus' disadvantage

He could pardon him, as Bush Sr pardoned those tied to Iran Contra to kill further investigation

I'm no concern troll. I take a stance. I consider context and consequences of pace on the vote.

The Pace Argument. The pace of impeachment proceedings inherently respects the process.

The wrestling match itself shows the public that Trump is desperately hiding something.
