Trump may need to be impeached as a lame duck.

If he loses in a wipeout he will go into all out revenge mode with nothing left to lose. He will pardon criminals and deploy the military for personal gain. Pelosi needs to be prepared to impeach the bastard again.

I had posted about this on DU earlier in the week. If we do well in the Senate, it might not be a bad idea to impeach the idiot a second time between the new Congress' getting sworn in and when (hopefully!) President Joe Biden takes over at noon on January 20.

is start an investigation. Weeks ago, I thought it a good idea to have an impeachment hanging over Trump through the election but I couldn't get much support for the plan.
