It's happening.

If Trump is impeached, but the Senate doesn't convict, will the American public believe he has been exonerated?

The assumption that the attacks will get worse if he isn't impeached don't hold water at all from Trump's history.

Whether Trump is impeached or not, the attacks will get worse.

If Trump is impeached, but not convicted, the attacks will get worse.

If Trump is impeached, and convicted, that is the only way the attacks will not get worse, because he will have been removed from office

If nothing is done, it is because "they" did not have the evidence and he is "totally exonerated".

Although the attack mode is his favorite.

Again, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be impeached. Just that it will have no effect on his behavior. Likely, he'll get worse.

But it does seem that his reactions are getting worse with each new charge.

Impeachment could make it much, much worse

...to stop the attacks upon our laws and institutions. Hopefully, he would be too busy defending himself to attack everyone else?

The only way to stop him is to defeat him in 2020

At the rate we are going, I have my doubts.

The only other option is a coup d' etat.

McConnell could in effect call for an immediate vote and get rid of any articles of impeachment without a full trial

Isn't he in charge of any impeachment trial in the Senate? not Mitch McConnell??

Does that mean we shouldn’t have even bothered to nominate him?

That tells me they had been planning the coup all along.

Do we have a similar plan? I sure as hell hope so because playing by the rules does not work.

Impeachment won't do anything to stop him. The attacks likely will get much worse.

That's not an argument against impeachment. It's just to say impeachment isn't some kind of magic wand that will fix things. It does not hold him accountable. Only removal from office would do that, and the Republicans will make sure that never happens.

I don’t think we have seen anything yet... If/when the walls really do start to close in around trump he’s gonna pull out all the stops and it will get ugly. Because he thinks he can still get away with all this and between the timidity of Dems, his bullying and the way just enough doubt/cover is generated about the issues he just might.

Clearly, they will never want what I want. I want the hearings. I want his name run through the mud and his crimes exposed every damn day until the election. A dramatic and disgusting revelation every day. I want to see squirming administration figures testifying under oath. EXPOSE the rotten underbelly. Every damn day. I want subpoenas for the whole family, Pence and Trump. I want court orders. Documents. EVERYTHING on the table. Why shouldn't we know the truth before the next election?

If they are too cowardly to call it "impeachinghim," then call it an official investigation into how to prevent Russian involvement in our elections. I suspect that investigation will parallel any impeachment hearing, just by another name. EXPOSE the scumbags. Every Russian probe should end up a GOP person's ass -- Trump first, then all the rest of them. We Democrats have to start being as underhanded as the GOP. No impeachment? Then how do we go about making GOP lives even worse than the "I" word?

to start a war (or two)? It would bring the impeachment hearings to a screeching halt.

It's the one thing narcissists can't stand. But that means the opposite of investigating and impeaching.

Another approach, that accomplishes both goals, is impeaching Barr. Get's the information out while making Trump seem less important.

Perhaps create a fourth branch of government with an elected AG at the head, as many states do. The AG would have the power to indict the President. To keep the AG's actions under control, an independent panel of judges would have oversight of the AG. The judges could appoint an independent counsel to investigate any actions of the AG, the President or a Congress member.

He would start a war. Doing that would take ALL the heat off of any impeachment process.
