37. Investigations that uncover word A vs word B don't end up in impeachment. Time is wasted over

what Trump "thinks" or "intends."

He's busy presidenting right now. So, from evidentiary standards that already took months in the last impeachment, this particular claim of one "interpretation of intent" fails to show any "pattern" of intent to undermine the election in THIS pandemic context, so no.

We've got a pandemic. We can't stop it AND impeach him again, too. The House worked itself into exhaustion over the last process. Let's not be demanding they do it all over again while thousands die. It will look like something gopers could use in the General to distract from the last real crime.

Hollering for impeachment is futile. We've got enough to indict him once he's out.

The key thing is to get him out, then indict him, not make ourselves look desperate.
