Who should we talk to in order to get impeachment on the table?
I know the ingredients are in the kitchen and I know what I want for dinner.

4. Yep, and she's not at all concerned about what you want. It's what
she wants that counts.

7. you want to get impeachment "on the table" -- have the customers talk to the staff
Let's say she's the chief chef. But she has to decide what to put on the menu. She checks with her staff (the Democratic caucus) to see what customers (voters) are demanding. They indicate that some customers are asking for impeachment, but that they're pretty sure that if impeachment is put on the menu, a lot of other customers will leave smaller tips and/or start checking out a neighboring restaurant that doesn't offer impeachment but offers a range of selections. The restaurant staff point out that impeachment could take a while to prepare, will use a lot of resources and that, there will be rats in the kitchen who will try to undermine its preparation. In the end, the staff tells her, it might not even be edible -- you might go to all the trouble and just have it thrown away.

So Pelosi decides, for the moment, to focus on other menu selections. But if enough customers let it be known that they really want to try some impeachment, then maybe she changes her mind. So the customers need to pass the word up through the staff so that the staff decides to pressure the chef to add impeachment.

8. Pelosi is the "next President of the United States" in all probability
And, as such, should be the last person to pull impeachment out from under the table.

Besides, keeping it right under the table as long as possible is a better way to proceed.

36 investigations, plus some new ones too ..... impeachment is proceeding just fine.

9. Ah, so you are saying that the chefs are cooking my dish?
You think that Chef Conyer, Chef Leahy, Chef Schumer and Chef Whitehouse
are just looking for the final ingredients?

10. They are the professors, not the chefs, teaching a nation the truth about the junta..
The final ingredient is popular opinion. After all, their ultimate responsibility is to carry out the wishes of the People.

The investigations reveal the facts and the People must decide what they think should follow.
