“If Speaker Pelosi doesn’t have the courage to impeach him, he’s going to keep on doing it,” Painter added.

Painter predicted that Trump will claim during next year’s campaign that the lack of impeachment was “proof” he didn’t do anything wrong. He also urged the House to quickly vote on articles of impeachment.

Trump will be re-elected. They say the United States has passed the critical point on the number of self-destructive idiots.

And that is a sure way for trump to be re-elected.

What you just said. Every day that goes by with no action just makes it seem like we Dem's are "weak" or that we don't have anything "on" this orange clown to way too many people. I know I know but that's just the way it is.

I really don't see swing voters bothering to come out to vote for either Trump or his enablers

The people we elected to bring accountability have more pressing matters to focus on than saving our country from Trump's unlawfulness.

lecturing Democrats about what WE must do toward pressuring their fellow Republicans on what THEY need to do.

We Dems know what the problem is and what we need to do but are struggling mightily to figure out how to do it in the most effective and smartest possible way. Republicans won't even admit there's a problem and damned sure aren't trying to do anything about it.

So, Richard Painter, Rick Wilson, David Jolly and your pals, instead of hectoring the Democrats - we already have enough people in our faces about this - why not start jumping in the faces of your former and future Republican colleagues (because we know as soon as this crisis ends, you'll be right back over there with them trying to undermine us again).

That would be helpful.

He is not our friend.
