The Dems need to shut up and act or they are going to be too close to elections.

The House should impeach. It does not matter if Turtle McConnel won't hold a trial; that'll be on him and conservatives.

And the parallels between the Trump and Nixon Presidencies continues...

And when all the filth and corruption gets brought out into the light, the ending will be the same too...

And as with Nixon, the sooner the better...

By the Democrats inaction on impeachment, Trump is empowered to continue obstructing until a court orders him to comply. And that will probably take an order from SCOTUS. It will take a very long time to get that order to comply. That order may not include all that Democrats need and even if it does, Trump may just choose not to comply with the high court's order. Then what?

Impeachment is the only real answer. It solves the obstruction. It gets the documents and the witnesses and it protects the power of Congress to be a check on the Executive. It protects the rule of law. Even if the Senate will not vote to convict, it still serves these purposes. Watergate began with most people not wanting impeachment. But opinions changed very quickly once people heard the public testimony. 

Mueller gave Congress what it needs to begin impeachment. Democrats need to step up and put the Constitution and the country first. Just do it.

Impeqch. We know he is a criminal. Let the GOP stand next to him and take it on the chin during the process. Embrace the humiliation.

Please impeach. Pretty please, take that bait.

I have no problem standing with the rule of law. No need to beg.

I agree, I am praying they do it.

And that’ll be it. Hopefully, the Democrats will move on after.....whoops...never mind....

Hahahahahahahaha, oh man, keep kicking that dead horse, CrazyJoe!

CrazyJoe, do you know why Trump doesn't wear glasses? Because he has 2020.

Impeqch. We know he is a criminal.

Anti-Trumpers: Show me the man and I'll show you the crime.

Said Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas: "The president now seeks to take a wrecking ball to the Constitution of the United States."

Pffft! The Democrats want Barr to break the law. They don't yet get it that Mueller time is over and now it's time to pay the Barr tab.

Is that what Hannity 'n Fox 'n Little Friends are telling you? Try learning some law instead, feller.

Mueller time is over and now it's time to pay the Barr tab.

Sorry. Neither of these jokes were funny the first time and subsequent times you dropped them. Still not funny. Ever wonder why right wingers never succeed in comedy? Because they're averse to reality.

Pelosi will continue to obstruct just as the rest of her minions will do. Barr is closing in on the corrupted members of the US intelligence agencies and the FBI who were working with the DNC and Hillary’s campaign to inject Russian disinformation into the US campaign in order to undermine Trump. Their “insurance policy”.

The Constitutional crisis was averted when the corrupt Obama official’s coup attempt failed when Mueller’s report came back and their were no indictments of anyone with respect to Russian collusion. Dems have invested so much of their personal well being into their hopes of bringing down Trump that they have become raging idiots. The tables are turning against them and the Left is lashing out in anger about the possibility of getting caught. Comey and Clapper have both been making defensive and highly partisan statements in recent weeks. The walls are closing in ....

I'm for impeachment, I just want to make sure they have their "t's" crossed and their "i's" dotted so it will be a straight case in . Trump, Barr, and some other corrupt GOP enablers have made this entire mess and the whole party is going to have to own it. When Trump put himself before the country (like anyone with a brain didn't see that coming), broke the oath of office repeatedly by much of what he both says and does.... he needed to go. The GOP has put the entire party before country for their own personal gains whether for financial and/or power, they chose to do as much underhanded, corrupt, deceptive, obstructive, conceited method they could think of. The party is dead in my eyes an American.

I'm for impeachment

You have some evidence that Trump has committed some crime? Like Bill Clinton did? Because that's generally what you need to impeach a president. You don't have any evidence, right?

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California

What is this liar still doing in Congress? We're still waiting for his evidence of collusion.

Seriously this guy, along with Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi, Maxine Waters, AOC, the list goes on, are full-on buffoons.

Do it Pelosi!

Yeah - do it Pelosi. I love seeing Dems rage at the unfairness of it all. It’s quite entertaining.
