Well, here goes nothing....let us stipulate that impeachment is a political (Congressional) Option

if we accept that premise,why are so many impeachment “advocates” unwilling to acknowledge that the political reality, specifically hopelessly self-protecting compromised senators -McConnel, Burr, Paul, Graham et al, is such that these sycophants would never imperil themselves by convicting drumph? Their silence in the face of the damning Mueller report speaks volumes. There is no “final straw” for these devotees. Thus while certainly morally defensible, even justifiable, impeachment by House Democrats simply carries more risk than reward. Given the misguided OLC policy, Mueller’s actions make perfect sense. So reframe presidential behavior. Rescind the OLC prohibition against indicting a criminal president. Of course drumph is a criminal. He’s an unindicted co-conspitior in at least one felony. Republicans knew the bulk of drumph’s unfitness for the Presidency from the day he entered the race and stilly slavishly support him. I awaken every day horrified by the reality that this beast is president. The only thing I find more horrifying is the specter that he will destroy this country till January 2025 because the “cult of drumph” , the senate whom alone could convict him, has no shame, no conscience, and no patriotism.
