(86,307 posts)She has the end game mapped out, she plays the long game, if you want to call it that. She wouldn't allow us to go down this road if she didn't have any idea of what to do in this scenario. She knows the Constitution better than most and know what we can do to correct this mess. It all takes time and the happening of events which requires patience.
A way to calm your nerves would be to examine the documents we follow like the Constitution and understand what routes we can take. It's not as complicated as people like to make you think it is.

(5,267 posts)while many of us were second guessing wondering if she should have held off longer as we thought acquittal would be Friday or today not realizing that Dems' Senate maneuvers would create some delay in final vote.
So in hindsight I think she picked right date for hand off to Senate and State of Union. Timing allowed Dems running for Pres. to return to Iowa last night/this morning. Knowing how the trial will end now is necessary wakeup call that we must work to defeat him at polls instead of clinging to unrealistic hope waiting on removal by impeachment that was never going to happen.
I'm still curious how the Bolton book leaks occurred just at right time to expose the Repubs hypcrisy in pretending to want more witnesses and evidence but then shutting it all down (while even acknowledging Trump's wrongdoing ) to put a lid on the exploding cascade of revelations implicating more people in the shake down and demolishing all of Trump lies. Still hard to believe how they are letting him off the hook after so many blatant lies by him and his lawyers, some who are themselves first hand witnesses.
