I'm starting to lean towards just focusing on this and possibly the second whistle blower report about Trump interfering with the IRS audits of his and Pence's returns. The Mueller report is old hat and so many idiots believe "how can you obstruct if there was no crime???" that I think throwing that in would muddle the process and allow the right to focus on that to drown out the more recent poo poo that is easier to explain.

Mr Interweb posted:wait, for impeachment, don't you need 2/3s in both houses? No. Just a majority to actually impeach in the house and then 2/3rds to convict in the Senate. I'm not trying to be a jackass but you post here rather frequently and this has been covered many many many times, how are you still unaware of how the impeachment process works?

Otteration posted:Thanks to Barr, the Mueller report was much squashed from the public consciousness. It would be nice to see an official impeachment-soepeona dredging into even just that. I only care about what "many idiots" believe in this instance because we need a lot of republicans to vote to remove for this to actually get him out of office and they're not going to do that unless public opinion of their base supports that action. I still think this is a win for us even if he isn't removed due to how bad this recent poo poo is.

I've read one or two news items suggesting these calls are no longer recorded and we only have transcripts and notes from other listeners.

Otteration posted:I think we should go into this impeachment realizing for now that the Senate Republicans are not going to vote to convict. Might as well dig up some poo poo in the mean time that can improve our country in the future and maybe hope the bad guys might turn in the end for the bonus. Yeah, I'm expecting him not to be removed but I've got a little hope. I think this hurts his 2020 chances regardless.

Edmund Lava posted:Yep. If, and that’s a huge loving if, support for impeachment reaches anywhere north of 15% he’s done. Republicans make up too small a portion of the population to have that many defections. It's doubled from 5% to 10% since the 20th. It's entirely possible they could hit 15% as more information comes out. There's still a second whistleblower report on an entirely different incident that hasn't really been made public yet beyond the basics of Trump interfering with the IRS.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1177575947358412800?s=19 IMO it was a mistake for him to summarize the call in his own words, the call was bad enough on it's own that it was unnecessary and obviously the right was going to jump on his summary as a lie. However, given how good his questioning was maybe he knew that already and it's part of a strategy.
