So, on the one side, I want the impeachment to start now so badly I can taste it. And on the other hand I have a spot, out damned spot! Oh wait, that ‘s an age spot (sigh). But seriously, on the other hand, there is this part of me that wants to let Mr Mueller have the time necessary to catch all the co-conspirators (including Pence, if guilty) to ensure the rat’s nest is cleared out. I have read several of the other diaries/blogs on the subject, but have missed even more (too much, too fast!), but want to be better informed before a family gathering with several very conservative people present.
On impeaching, I am not sure how many articles are needed to seal the coffin shut. but it needs to be airtight. At the same time, they need to go after felony charges against all those that can be charged and (stand a good chance of being) convicted. No doubt it will pass the house, although it will probably not pass in the Senate.
On having Mr Mueller stay the course, I don’t know if he will get the chance and the Office of Special Counsel will need protection. We need the goods on the entire Trump cabal, and we need them all at the same time. Maybe let Melania and Barron (and the minor grandkids) keep a small stipend and home, but that is it. Pence? Smarmy theo-fascist that he is, he needs to brought back to earth for a come-to-jeezus meeting with the judicial branches — ALL of them (and maybe a group of religious leaders). And all of this needs done at the same time to ensure a clean sweep. I am not sure of the entire process, maybe a couple of one-on-one meetings with a few select republican senators to ensure the votes in the senate for confirming impeachment. Follow up with some “background checks” of the staunchest republicans that have been obstructing government would be in order. And if any Democrats get caught up? Well, we need to stand firm for law, order, and justice. Oh! And a definite revamping of the security clearances for the indictees acquaintances.
Any ideas on which side? I seem to be having issues with a poll as the answers seem to disappear, so maybe some discussion might put me in a more knowledgeable position to decide. Thanks!
