The 2 competing items in my view are
1) Trump's necessary impeachment and how the timing affects 2020,
2) the damage Trump and the GOP are doing now while under attack.

At this point I think it'd be hard to impeach before end of summer no matter what comes out of the Mueller Report and his taxes and whatever other jackass unconstitutional bullshit he pulls in the meantime, so I'm all for just full out supporting whatever brings him down and kind of assume it's going to be hard for the Republicans to rebrand this time, even if they successfully managed that sleight of hand with the Tea Party.

Could be wrong, but from what I've been reading, seems to me it is more of a slam dunk that House Ways and Means can get the tax returns than Judiciary Comm. can get the Mueller report. So it's likely that Mulvaney's just playing poker, bluffing and stuff, trying that out, seeing what happens, setting up the base, etc.?

We here would probably like it to happen soon. But then, think-- if it goes to the courts, the longer it drags out, the more it could affect Trump re-election campaign. Especially with the swings he needs.

And Romney (the guy Trump humiliated wit a "pull my finger" parlor gag) calls it "moronic" to try - Trump always wins. Of course the same was said about Avenatti's suit fir Stormy Daniels - "there's an NDA, what can you do?" Turns out a lot.

Let's see how many more votes

Let's see how many more votes there should have been via the Mueller Report
(not that that was exactly what he investigated)

"The voters" were +3 million for Hillary.

For Republicans, "policy" talk means attacking Democrats, while they loot the country.

Mulvaney says "never" on the tax returns, on Fox News natch:

On @FoxNewsSunday:

BILL HEMMER: “To be clear, you believe Democrats will never see the president's tax returns?”

MICK MULVANEY: “Oh, no, never. Nor should they.”

This is not a flipflop policy thing, this is: there's the 72 yr.-old boy king and then there's everyone else.

Just months ago he said he wanted to revoke Scientology's tax-exempt status. Another flip flop?

Trump may win in 2020.

In reply to Just ran across bias

Trump may win in 2020.

He trails only Biden, who has too much baggage for the purity angels. Beto, Bernie trail in polls, will be torn apart by Trump. Any woman nominee will be seized on under the microscope by the media, and would lose the electoral college (not popular vote.).

Big media and Wall Street love Trump, he is made for TV, which will be ok until his crew crash the economy. That will be good for TV news eyeball counts, and Wall Street too, they can buy up more assets on the cheap.

Maggie Haberman has posted scanned images of Letter from Trump lawyers to Treasury in 3 tweets and this comment afterward:

Trump lawyers have consistently elevated the concept of his rights as a private citizen when critics have raised questions about aspects of his conduct in office. Most extreme example of him trying to be two things at once. https://t.co/BtvbWdhatO
