Greenwald: " if you really believe that Donald Trump committed serious crimes... then impeach him"

I know it's another Russia Whore in Greenwald but now their talking point is NOT impeaching Trump is more of the reveal that Red Don's crimes and impeachable offenses aren't serious.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/04/19/glenn_greenwald_vs_david_cay_johnston_on_trump-russia_ties_obstruction.html

So, in both of the cases of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, when impeachment charges were brought, there was a lot of uncertainty about whether convictions could be obtained. But the House did its duty, anyway, under the Constitution, which is, if you really believe that Donald Trump committed serious crimes, it’s the constitutional duty of the Democrats in the House to impeach Donald Trump and then present the arguments and the evidence to convince the public that he ought to be removed from office. And they’ve made clear they’re not going to do that. And I think that’s pretty revealing.

I'm not seeing the empirical downside of impeachment and the upside being the impeachment managers don't have to stick to the 5 minute round robin rules.

your thoughts?

regards

narrative to make it appear that he knows WTF he is talking about, which he doesn't

It was only a few months ago he was accusing the Democrats of McCarthy like tactics against poor Trump and Mother Russia

The libertarian asshole deserves to be in Brasil run by Jair Bolsonaro. They are both arrogant assholes

As far as impeachment is concerned, I have made myself very clear on this:

and here is MY KEY LINE FROM THAT LINK:

"Because of the Mueller report, I believe the House must introduce articles of impeachment, whether it is successful or not, it will put everyone on the record, and let the chips fall where they may "

Impeachment powers gives the house court powers. Starting the process will reveal more information, regardless of a vote or not.

His opinion, in this case clearly sarcastic, is not worth taking seriously.
