Demand that the DNCI come before the Congress immediately.

And demand that he give the Congress the intelligence they need to know.

If not, begin impeachment proceedings.

If there are not enough Republican votes in the Senate at present, wait until after the election to put it the hands of the US Senate.

This cannot be tolerated. Send Mr Trump the message.

The People shall not surrender so easily.

This is a showdown.

If there are any Republican Senators that agree with the right of the Congress to know the secrets of this country, then give them an opportunity to stand up and be counted.

If the votes are not there, there will be no choice but to wait until the election is over. If there is a majority Democratic Senate, without the obstruction of Mitch McConnell, then send the impeachment charges over to the Senate.

This time, there will be a trial with witnesses and facts. Mr Trump will have to answer.

Indeed, and keep in mind the new House and Senate start their term on Jan. 3, not Jan. 20, so it can get under way earlier.

But I think many Democrats might prefer to play it safe and wait until after the election?

and what you suggest would hurt our efforts and be meaningless with a rightie senate...and we could lose our chance to take the Senate as well as a chance to take the presidency.
