too bad that 67% you need aren't working as US Senators. An exercise in futility, America understands what this is about.
There were multiple special investigations into Bill Clinton. All concluded insufficient evidence to charge him.
Then the Monica Lewinsky thing surfaced and Clinton lied. The House impeached Clinton knowing full well, the Senate would not convict him.
Well, it was never the founding father's intent to have an impeachment inquiry and then put it all on hold until the next election.
Well, it's not an "and then..."
It's an "or", as in put up or shut up.
I also support a real impeachment inquiry because it will make those playing games with impeachment accountable.
Nasty Nancy won't call for a vote because she realizes Democrat House members from districts Trump won won't survive if they attach their names to this charade.
Having lived through both of those times, at an age when I remembered the events well, the news of the events precipitating the impeachment prior to the actual event was basically non-existent in Nixon’s case and limited to 1 1/2 hours per day on the news and SOME newspapers in Clinton’s case. It took longer for the ordinary citizen to realize what was going on. Additionally, in neither case had there been repeated calls, or even whispers, for impeachment prior the criminal event the president was eventually charged with. Also, with Nixon just the murmur of possible impeachment itself upset people because it had only occurred once in our history and it was balked at by people on both sides of the aisle with Clinton because most felt impeachment itself should be reserved. In both cases many were upset because they were afraid once that barn door was opened that in future it might be weaponized by political parties to negate elections.
For the record, I did NOT support the impeachment of Clinton and I still think it was one of Congress’ dark moments. My House Representative, who had easily won his previous elections, lost in the next general election over it and I was one of the people who voted against him in both the primary and general elections, strictly based on his actions leading up to Clinton’s impeachment. I was scandalized he agreed to put our nation through such turmoil. I had no idea at the time that it was small potatoes and in my lifetime I would see used in such a blatant political maneuvering as we are seeing now.
This is worse.
For Profit Cable News, the internet and especially social media changed the game.
Most people did not support the impeachment of Clinton. That did not however, stop the House from doing so.
An Impeachment Inquiry is reasonable action at this point in time. The transcript summary shows Trump said “ I would like you to do us a favor though.....”
That is certainly a remarkable shift in public sentiment. Much of it probably has to do with the totally infantile reaction Trump has displayed - the tweets, the rage, the heliport rants. Yesterday's betrayal of our loyal Kurdish allies will only add fuel to the fire as will today's ordering of the diplomat who is the other end of the text messages not to appear before the committee. Sure makes Trump look guilty.

We only make ourselves a target when we meddle in the business of others.
If the Kurds mean so much to you, buy your kids a rifle and plane ticket.
So it seems you actually agree with Ponderosa, Pedro. Trump meddles in everything from mayors who are trying to help their cities balance their budgets, to police forces attempting to promote community involvement, to the NFL and on and on and he deserves the heat.
Kurds supported us for years, doing the heavy lifting in the fight against ISIS. And now Trump stabs them in the back.
His meddling in world affairs of which he knows nothing, actually make the USA less secure and financially worse off and now our nation has an extremely diminished standing in the arena of diplomacy.
I don't ever recall since its creation, a NATO country threatening to destroy another NATO country. That's where we are and Putin must be laughing. Trump and his chaos.
President Trump has made himself a target of justified criticism and impeachment as well as the suggestions that he be removed under the 25th amendment. Ponderosa has rightly pointed out the shift in public sentiment. We citizens know this: A turkey is flying the plane.
