Stupid and Short-Sighted

It looks like Pelosi is trying to have an impeachment vote before year's end, which means that the credible investigations of obstruction of justice in the Mueller report, and efforts to get testimony from John Bolton and Don McGahn are not being undertaken.

Seriously, you are only going to get one shot at this.

You want everything that is an impeachable offense in the articles of impeachment, and you want them exposed to the public.

Nancy Pelosi wants to show that Democrats want to get thing done by ……… wait for it ……… passing an update on NAFTA, the USMCA, because it worked so well for the Democrats in 1994. (Hint, it DIDN'T)

I get that Nancy Pelosi is eager to sell out the American worker to trans-national corporations because she, and the Blue Dog and New Democratic caucuses, will find it easier to fund raise that way, but the last time the Democrats did this, they lost the house and the Senate.

This is both bad politics and bad policy.

Impeachment is about turning over rocks to see what is underneath, and you are not done yet.

Ok, how would the actions you suggest change anything.

First, it puts the people who testify in legal jeopardy for their lies.

Second, it paints a picture of Trump's sleaze and corruption to the American public, which will generate support, which is essential for the process.

Third, it might throw a monkey wrench into the still sucks USMCA.

Forth, it will place a permanent taint on his enablers, which is well deserved.
