    "Win" impeachment? Strange way to put it but then the Democrats have never accepted the fact he "won" the Presidency so they think they now must "win" an impeachment. Does winning mean you remove a President even when you do not have cause?

    Watch the tape when she falsely accuses him of crimes not charged. She brings up emoluments which have been tossed from the courts saying the Constitution requires a President to give up their wealth an assets, it does not, is she fallaciously claims President Carter SOLD his farm which sounds like she calls it a "pea farm". He did nothing of the sort he put it in a blind trust and after he left office discovered it had been grossly mismanaged and now had huge debt which took him years to get out from under.

    Well her "caucus" ... of 4 ... IS pretty exclusive. (D)'s ain't rushing to take "the sqaud" into their confidence, "the sqaud" just recklessly injects itself in issues that get them the most press.

    50 / 50 I'd say from "the squad's" perspective. They gain support from (D) establisment hating progressives.

    ....Well that's just stupid. It's not a 'win or lose thing'. Politically speaking - Just having the proceedings going while the election is underway allows the Dems to fire shot after shot during the campaign. The election will be the decider.

    How did that work out when Clinton was impeached? The problem is your party is firing blanks.

    Works for me.... Mueller and his entire gang of leftist political hacks will be called to testify, will be required to admit that they didn't find evidence to charge Trump, will be cross examined, will have to admit that Mueller was a figure head, that the asylum was run by inmates, that the investigation was carried out by Weissmann, that the report was written by Weissmann... will have to explain Mifsud, FISA, plants in Trump campaign, extreme political bias (15 libs, 0 Republicans) of the witch hunters

    The "I won't answer" and "not my purview" will not cut it. So go for it libs, ready set go and good luck lol

    if the DOJ gave Mueller the authority to indict Trump, Trump would have been indicted.

    And it would have been tossed instantly because no court would allow a prosecutor to substitute evidence with TDS. Well maybe a few courts in corrupt districts like NY or Cali would but eventually a higher court would smack them down.

    Not according to Mueller who repeated multiple times that they didn't reach a conclusion on whether Trump broke the law, which in legal terms meant, they had no case.

    15 Trump hating, Hillary loving leftist political hacks could not make a case on Trump, his family members, his cabinet.

    Winning!

    Well yeah....everyone knows the Senate won't impeach without actual evidence.

    With that said, I agree...if the DNC actually believed the narrative they are pushing they'd impeach. Unfortuately, the majority know it's just propaganda for their base, and know it's not true. Which frankly, is horrible

    Mueller never said this.

    he stated the reason why he did NOT indict, is due to standing DOJ policy against charging a sitting President.

    all the evidence needed to indict Trump is in the Mueller report.

    Trump clearly committed Obstruction of Justice.

    in much more severe ways than Clinton did, and yet Clinton was impeached and Trump may not be

    The DOJ could not stop Mueller from recommending Trump be indicted. Mueller just didn't have the authority to indict Trump and the DOJ didn't have the authority to give Mueller the authority to indict. Democrats wanted to hear Mueller recommend indicting Trump which he knew he couldn't do because the evidence was not there. Did you not learn anything from the Kenneth Starr investigation of Clinton? Starr did recommend indicting Clinton. Mueller did not recommend indicting Trump which is why the Democrats were pissed at him. They tried to pressure Mueller during the hearings to recommend indicting Trump to get public support to pressure Pelosi into agreeing with impeachment process. Nadler failed at getting the public behind his political scam.

    Yup, with all the resources of the Swamp elites at their disposal. Imagine if Obama had gotten that treatment what they would have come up with.

    That was not the sole reason, according to what he told Barr.

    What is even worse for democrats is the knowledge now that Mueller was not even really in charge and didn't know what the hell was going on, but Weissmann who hates Trump and even with the full power of the government behind him was till unable to find evidence of collusion. The whole thing was run by partisan hacks and still they came up with nothing. But I say, dems keep beating that dead horse, keep digging, don't ever let truth or facts hold you back.

    The only swamp is Trump's. He projects when speaking of a swamp and corruption.

    Oh, too much MSNBC Madcow and Morning Joke, i see. Pretty common diagnosis nowadays.

    Mueller retracted it and stated that the 15 witchhunters failed to make a case against Trump, his family and his cabinet members... but you need to change the channel to hear about that.

    Mueller never could have the authority to indict. Even Kenneth Starr didn't, but he knew he could recommend indicting Clinton which he did in his report and during a congressional hearing. Democrats were hoping they could get Mueller to recommend indicting Trump but he knew he couldn't because the evidence was not there.
