Clearly you haven't read the Mueller report.

Second, I despise Trump. I believe in the Constitution and the rule of law, and believe that he is a threat to both.

But I oppose impeachment based upon what we know at this time.

If we were to impeach Trump for attempts at obstruction of justice, then we should have impeached Obama for authorizing targeted drone strikes against American citizens, Bush II for authorizing domestic spying programs, and should have convicted Clinton for lying to Congress. As well as Johnson for lying to Congress. All of which were incontrovertably un-Constitutional actions. Obstruction of justice is bad, but it does not reach those levels.

Congress cannot and should not impeach a president because it does not like him. There has to be an indisputable basis for any attempt at impeachment. I don't see it here.

Sure, Congress can and should form a committee to investigate this further, pass a bill to censure the president, and so forth. But I oppose the use of impeachment for a crime that is less that other presidents have committed without punishment.

That is why it would go all the way to the Supreme Court and once again the Democrats will fall flat on their face. Shame shame shame!

Sigh. Yes, he is and I hope Democrats don’t go this route.

What part of the report makes you think this?

What difference does any of this make? He will be re elected because he is a white supremacist and all the racists know this and will vote for him. That is all they care about, not the law, not violating the law, but to keep the country white. Nothing else matters to his voters and his voters are millions upon millions of racists.

Now, that's a wonderful message to campaign on. Pass this to the Democratic candidates and have them run on this message.
It rivals Hillary's "deplorables." It's a winner for sure.

It's the truth. It can rival whatever, but it is the truth.

Of course, this is why our President is falling over himself to send documents to Congress, sending subpoenaed people to testify, and vowing to follow every one of their requests.

Wait...

(I mean, really, how bad at trolling can you get?)

So, the Democrats truly believe they can discover something that Mueller's team was unable to find?

No - this is harassment. It's all the Dems have left.

Did you get your law degree at Trump U? That’s not how this works.

Seriously, even the left leaning media outlets are saying this. Aside from that, all of the "analysis" podcasts I listen to, from NPR to FiveThirtyEight to Left/Right/Center are more or less in agreement that impeachment is risky for Democrats.

Which is why Trump is fighting the subpoenas on the grounds that it serves no legislative purpose. They are fishing.

No. He is fighting because he has something to hide. First president since Nixon to hide financial data.
