The Democratic leadership's failure so far to do anything at all on impeachment, and indeed saying things opposed to it, is very confusing and really bad. There really should be no debate here at all in the Democratic Party, Trump very obviously must be impeached! Why is this even a question? He's an open criminal, has done innumerable impeachable acts while in office, and not impeaching him would be yet another horribly bad death-knell sign for the survival of our democracy. Trump must be impeached, period. I wonder how long it'll take the leadership to get the message... even just for the statement of it, for standing up for our democracy, it's essential to do it even if we know he'll almost certainly not be removed.
On a related note, Trump recently begged foreign countries such as Putin's Russia to hack his opponents in 2020 and leak information to his campaign, because he promised to never go to the FBI if he got such information, he'd use it. He's an open criminal and just reminded everyone of that fact yet again. ... I wonder, did he finally listen to the news about how terrible his poll numbers are in key states, and this is his plan for how to turn that around, hope for another Russian hack? If so, I would like to believe it'd be much less successful next time than it was in '16... we'll see though of course.
