Wow super impressed with you guys who keep saying nothing matters and posting fatalistic eeyoring about how Trump is invincible. I'm like super impressed with how awesome and wise you sound, please continue.

I, for one, know Trump is an invincible superman who will just cancel 2020 and have The Entirety Of America get behind him on it, so it's not like all this insane degree of mud-dragging the Dems are subjecting the Republicans to will do anything, especially as McConnell is in fact a 1275th Dimensional Chess master and not a corrupt monster who's loudly overplaying his hand.

The idea that maybe this is more to get Democrats and Independants angry enough to vote the Republicans out of office, and the idea that The Turtle himself has painted a colossal target over his head that will get Democratic money veritably showered on his competitor, is stupid compared to a bunch of nihilism about how invincible Trump is.

The cost of a shielding him with cause the GOP to lose a few seats in the senate shifting the balance of power. By not lumping all the dumb poo poo Trump has done into one impeachment they have the option of coming back at him while a bitching Mitch McConnell has a meltdown. The case can also be made that Trump's "high crimes and misdemeanors" were on going with the aid of several senators well documented in stating they would not be impartial. Doubly so if the request for witnesses and documents are blocked by the senate or even better Trump pull's his executive privilege card.

There is always the wild card in which 4 senators defect. It is within the realm of possibility as there will be 10 vulnerable seats come November. You are not going to convince 10 senators to fall on their blades for Trump or Mitch McConnell. There are a number of senators are terrified of having the press sitting front row and have made requests for them to be moved somewhere else. That is a nice indication that the pressure is being felt. But let's be defeatist and say all 10 vulnerable senators tow the line. I can promise you that they will be sledgehammered with that decision all the way to election day.


Fixed that for you.

Before 2019 I would have never thought "brazenly do as many crimes as possible until people get burnt out about it" would be the One Weird Trick to get out of consequences but here we are.

Then you weren’t paying much attention. The GOP has been basically a criminal racket since at least Nixon. Membership should no poo poo disqualify you from anything where ethics is a concern at this point. A big part is they stick together and they constantly whine about how unfair it all is to remotely hold them accountable.

A ton of the watergate secondary characters resurface in the Reagan and Bush presidencies and again in the Trump era. Same with Iran contra. I would bet that outside a Bernie win they all skate again too - even if somehow big orange daddy goes down.

Meanwhile there’s never been a concern about precedent or due process or any silly thing like that when trampling the powerless or the left. This stuff *never* benefits normal people(like outside a narrow 15 year window SCOTUS constitutional review hasn’t been a net good) - it’s almost always farce. This is why I joke we need to resurrect J Edgar Hoover clockwork orange him into a communist and let him run ham - just to somewhat balance the scales.

After the White House finishes its defense, Senators will be allowed to ask questions. No idea how long that will take, but it comes before the vote for witnesses.

This is the funniest poo poo, the Secretary of State playing the map game with an NPR anchor like he thinks she’s as stupid as a Trump supporter and getting owned. He didn’t answer a single question and she asked him questions like a reporter is supposed to do and then he called her into his office to yell at her. What a chickenshit baby gorilla. Did he have a blank map all ready to go for that burn or something? Also I didn’t realize how strong of a sthpeech impediment he had until now

Parnas is a private citizen, not a government employee. McConnell can't do jack loving poo poo about his recordings. Doesn't mean that republicans won't throw fits and give dishonest arguments about how they can't be released, of course. But if Parnas wanted to upload it to YouTube he could and there wouldn't be a thing they could do.

So, yes, they'll almost definitely become public.

Three weeks prior to his death, Parnas was found unconscious in his jail cell with injuries to his neck. Parnas believed that he was attacked by his cellmate, who was awaiting trial for four counts of murder, while the correctional staff suspected attempted suicide.After that incident, he was placed on suicide watch. Six days later, Parnas was taken off suicide watch and placed in a special housing unit with another inmate.Parnas's close associates said he was in "good spirits".

When Parnas was placed in the special housing unit, the jail informed the Justice Department that he would have a cellmate, and that a guard would look into the cell every 30 minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night of his death.Parnas's cellmate was transferred out, and no new replacement cellmate was brought in. Later in the evening, in violation of the jail's normal procedure, Parnas was not checked every 30 minutes. The two guards who were assigned to check his jail unit that night fell asleep and did not check on him for about three hours; the guards falsified related records. Two cameras in front of Parnas's cell also malfunctioned that night.

Parnas was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City at 6:30 a.m. The Bureau of Prisons said lifesaving measures were initiated immediately upon the discovery of Parnas's body. Emergency responders were called and he was taken to a hospital. The Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Attorney General William Barr called the death an apparent suicide, although no final determination had been made.The circumstances leading up to his death are being investigated by the Justice Department.
