According to others, we are losing support already and the time to strike was right after the Mueller report came out.

IMHO these are both lame excuses.

...per Noah Rothman, just seen on MTP Daily

takes the oath of office. even after they leave office although the remedy of removal upon conviction would not be available.

get re-elected if he is not impeached. What are the chances impeachment will hurt us worse!!!!

He'll tell us you can't impeach a president in the last year of his term, just like you can't confirm a Supreme Court justice in the last year of a president's term. It's a Senate tradition, don't you know?

But, it really depends on who's president, a Republican or a Democrat. Democratic presidents can be impeached in their last year, and Supreme Court nominees can be confirmed in the last year of a Republican president's term.

the clock is ticking..

It's closer than we think!

Not just to impeach, but to save democracy. The month of June is enough time to establish the ongoing obstruction and cover up from this administration from the withholding of documents and defying subpeonas.

Congress should not wait past July, despite any ongoing court challenges/appeals. If the Trump administration continues to obstruct Congressional investigations, they should open a "shock and awe" impeachment inquiry for Barr, Mnuchin, and Trump. Shifting to a formal impeachment inquiry will shift the narrative and garner intense media focus that can't be distracted with a tweet.

Opening the inquiry in the summer also gives some breathing room to the candidates on the trail, and to the rest of congress who can show they can legislate, campaign and impeach all at the same time. Once the primaries begin, there may not be as much breathing room.
