In reply to What Elizabeth Warren Gets Wrong About Impeachment

Also, like with the Steele Dossier or Bush's Guard AWOL, once something/anything goes a little bit pear-shaped, the whole thing can be too easily dismissed in totality. So Cohen wasn't in Prague, so 1 out of many documents was forged - boom, not guilty.

I'm happy with Pelosi's play-it-slow/steady stream of damning evidence. The closer to the election, the better - and I have trouble believing Trump will put all these threads behind him in any scenario.

In reply to What Elizabeth Warren Gets Wrong About Impeachment

I'm undecided about impeachment, and I don't agree that with everything this guy writes, but I was struck by his point about how not to fight authoritarians. Corruption scandals can and do destroy the careers of conventional politicians, but he's right that they seem to have little effect on authoritarian populists like Berlusconi, Orbán, Netanyahu, and Trump. Defying establishment rules and conventions isn't a bug to these gangster politicians, it's a feature. If you've supported Trump this far, you're probably going to ignore any additional corruption scandals and punishments. This is not just about impeachment, it's about the whole battle to defeat Trump.
