In reply to the discussion: John Dean says don't send Impeachment to the Senate! [View all]DonaldsRump
(7,715 posts)90. A few choices
One thing is to send these articles to the Senate after the vote and then to send further impeachment articles as the investigations continue.
Another is to send one article (abuse of power) and hold off on the obstruction of Congress article, giving Trump one month to provide any exonerating evidence. Trump, of course, won't, but the Ds can score some points with the public as it amplifies that he is clearly hiding things when he provides no documents or witnesses.
No matter what, Wednesday or Thursday, depending on what day the articles(s) will be voted upon in the House, is a continuing step to taking our country back!

We should wait for the 2020 elections so The People can decide what kind of Senate they want.

During Watergate, we had U.S. senators. Now we have Republicans and normal people.

So let all the GOP Senators off the hook? Don't force them to defend Trump?

This idea deserves it's own thread. Nobody needs Trump Barr handling of Mueller Report 2.0

It IS an option. But it assumes we win the Senate in 2020, which is not a given.
