Amazing that Predictit impeachment odds havent budged in weeks

The second they started the impeachment inquiry, it was a 100% chance he was getting impeached.

At least for me the mattering doesn’t happen until November 2020. This seems like it might increase the chances of it happening.

Well then we'll see. I think this matters more for the Senate than for the presidential election. I don't think this changes Trump's election chances at all.

STFU Mcmagic. You are out of your element and lack all perspective for how this affects all local, state, and federal elections. Sit the gently caress down.

also Sondland repeatedly talked to trump personally and knew these were his orders and is going to testify that they were trump's orders

really undercuts the ability to make Rudy the sole fall guy

It's not a good option, no, but their alternatives are getting rather limited. If they bluster enough, they theoretically could portray Rudy as actually going rogue and lying to everyone the whole time, thus causing Trump's orders to get misconstrued and betraying Our Favorite President's intentions.

the core thing, to me, is this is MASSIVELY stripping the ambiguity of the situation away, so it makes it even more clearly 'the gop literally would rather ignore super obvious crimes than go against daddy trump'. It doesn't change the actual end result but it makes it WAY harder for the right to defend to everyone but the base

i love that the main denial about july 10 is "i didn't yell or scream" - the stuff they said about the quid pro quo was true, but them implying I was ever mad or rude is a LIE

They didn’t know he would flip like this until only a few hours ago right? The GOP can’t work a good strategy with a week to prepare, so they’re extra hurt today by that news.
