Trump can be found guilty by the House. What they can't do is remove him from office, but the impeachment vote would stand, and it's important.
If we're saying that Presidents are only accountable if their own party holds the Senate, we're in deep dodo as a nation.
Somebody said that Pelosi is trying to do "impeachment lite" by going after Barr instead of Trump, and I think that's a good description. It's also a major dereliction of duty to the American people.
I get that Dems are screwed either way. We have the most corrupt person ever to hold the office but also one who has played the political game so brilliantly and surrounded himself with so many sycophants as well as holding his party hostage
We've just been outplayed but I'm not of the opinion that surrender is the best option now.
I agree the "act" of impeaching the president is important. I don't think it's a lock that 1: The votes are there and 2: That we've unearthed what we still can to bolster the process. We're further down the hole today. Since impeachment is basically a one shot deal, we can max the case out first. I don't believe he'll finish his term without the impeachment process.
Pelosi always knows her votes and she also knows her agenda regarding what she plans to accomplish.
