It occurs to me that holding an impeachment for public relations purposes may backfire upon its instigators.

Has this story been debunked? I think we'd know if officials made public comments, we already know how Manafort was brought down.
The Ukrainian antipathy for Trump’s team — and alignment with Clinton’s — can be traced back to late 2013. That’s when the country’s president, Viktor Yanukovych, whom Manafort had been advising, abruptly backed out of a European Union pact linked to anti-corruption reforms. Instead, Yanukovych entered into a multibillion-dollar bailout agreement with Russia, sparking protests across Ukraine and prompting Yanukovych to flee the country to Russia under Putin’s protection.
In the ensuing crisis, Russian troops moved into the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, and Manafort dropped off the radar.
Well I stand by we are doing it because for the sake of the rule of law it should be done.
Impeachment on Clinton backfired on GoP.
"Impeaching Clinton for having sex backfired, so we really need to just let Trump slide if he murders someone in the oval office."
Get him out of the oval office and you can lock him up.
That would be the plan, but let's face facts the GOP controlled senate isn't going to let it happen. So the impeachment play has to be run as part of the 2020 campaign strategy.
Trump's numbers have gone up in Wisconsin. He was slightly behind now he's slightly ahead.
Yeah I'm not convinced it's the best play.
RBG has been in hospital again and Trump's numbers have gone up in Wisconsin. He was slightly behind now he's slightly ahead.
Chose your hill to die on.
It's a long road. The pounding is just getting started.
By the way, Marquette isn't exactly at the top of the polling heap either.
I'm good with the "rule of law" as a fundamental concept hill and rejection of cults of personality as a fundamental concept. Tyvm.
Well Pelosi has probably weighed up the pros and cons and she's smart.
Problem being it can blow up in your face.
Let it slide vs reelecting Trump. Impeachment is high risk and Trump's not going anywhere so it's guranteed failure in that regard.
Read the first sentence. Then what follows tells you that Manafort and Trump were aligned with their enemy Russia.
Farm bankruptcies jump to highest level since 2011 as Trump’s tariffs bite
Farmers filed 580 Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings between January and September, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the largest farm advocacy group in the country. That was a 24% increase from the previous year and the highest level since 2011, when there were 676 filings.
unprecedented amount of government aid has raised concerns about misuse of funds and drawn backlash from agricultural groups and bipartisan lawmakers. Roughly 40% of farm income is expected to come from government aid, according to Department of Agriculture data analyzed by the federation.
"Our farmers have been great. They never wavered," Trump said in a Cabinet meeting last week. "And I think, in many ways, the farmer maybe is going to be the biggest beneficiary of what we're doing — certainly one of them."
