Pelosi says Democrats "not on a path to impeachment" despite Trump's "stunt"

As Pelosi even said herself, he has abused power to obstruct justice in plain sight -- and continues to do so. Impeachment is now a moral duty. They are the only check on such abuses.

To fail to impeach now is like a prosecutor with undeniable evidence against a murderer who refuses to prosecute. Without formal indictment, the murderer can claim, "look, I've been exonerated," and the claim stands because there is nothing meaningful happening to counter it.

Her campaign to keep Impeachment of bush "off the table" for torture helped set this country on the road to the hell we are in now in. Congressional failure to show moral courage now will probably get Trump reelected.

The outcome is irrelevant. They must take a stand and make the case to the nation without the mealy mouthed bullshit that they are "investigating" high crimes that are proven by facts already known.

On edit: Trump's bluster against fictitious evils is taken as "courage" to "stand up" by far too many. The best way to counter that is to show some REAL courage and take a MEANINGFUL stand to protect the workings of our constitutional democracy from a tyrant.
