Is it too early for a pre-emptive strike?

Clearly, after the Epstein file votes in the House and Senate, the Republicans in Congress are scared spitless over what's to come, and worried that continued lack of transparency might run a whole lot deeper into their turf than they were guessing it would.

Time to initiate impeachment and make that a critical issue for GOP members of Congress in the mid-terms? Or is it too soon?

I'm for getting that ball rolling now.

The manner in which the Republicans in both houses serenely ignored all of the signals and warnings being tweeted and texted out of the White House tells me the time might be right fairly soon.

yet another try at impeachment? And - even as a 'messaging' (political fodder) tool - wondering if it would win a lot of support.
Are you hearing rumblings out there that I am maybe not running across? Because in honesty - I am not.

(Oh, and all the yada, yada about, "making them go on record .." - has really added up to a big fat zilch to this point. It would appear that the Repubs don't have any particular problem in 'going on record' - again and again? This time is going to be different?)

Remind me how many Democrats in Congress. And even if every single one of them vote to impeach, I'm pretty sure that's not enough.

Personally since Vance would probably be vastly worse than Trump, were I so inclined, I'd pray daily for Trump's continued life.
