Thread after thread about how horrible trump is, and few about

how we didn't impeach him. Bravo to the brave souls on DU who actually stood up and said it! Perhaps it will come, down the road, after we weather the blistering effect of trump's legal drag out, when it will have a lesser impact. Like many said in May of this year, with each passing day, we minimize the effect.

Outrage is not retroactive...each day away from the non-partisan Mueller Report. In fact, the closer we are to the election, the more we look like partisans. If we don't do it with full-throated support by the end of the year...forget about it.

Explain to millions of Democrats why we chose to ignore the crimes and malfeasance of the worst person, the worst president, in our country's history. Explain to Democrats why we couldn't figure out SOME way - even if it's outside the box - to protect our elections in 2020.

so far down the road. When we will be teetering on the election cycle. I totally want to believe it could, just seems so counter-intuitive. It's like you knew someone stole your wallet a year ago and you bring it up now.

to do. Would like to see a status on the critical witnesses and docs they need. No one seems to be publishing or following this in total that I have seen.

I really can't see McGahn offering any more than what's in report though. Vox had piece way back in the spring that suggested that the House use the report itself as evidence and forget about subpoenas. This is looking smarter to me every day.

We don't know what Pelosi knows is going on behind closed doors, and is about to exposed trump and many others. I also think the New York AG will have a lot of damming evidence that'll bolster her case. I'm wanting it now but I have to understand it may be a bigger plan to use against him and the corrupt gop.
