Impeachment Doesn't Make Sense When Pelosi Knows She Can't Get A Conviction In The Senate

Unless they have cut some backroom deals that none of us know about and if that didn't happen then why?

I would assume that well over half the country doesn't know it takes the Senate to convict so are they trying to set off some right wing idiots to do something so they can really push gun control?

Just trying to understand the angle here because there has to be a reason. Meddling in the election is a pretty easy guess as well but where is the fun in that.

It didn't make sense politically either when the GOP House impeached Clinton.

the angle is to keep a black cloud over him. the angle is Shep Smith calling Trump a criminal again.

They have something on one of Nancy's pals, probably Mitt Romney.

Impeaching a president over withholding foreign aid makes zero sense as well.

It fuels the Q theory stuff. He is over the target of exposing things and they are pulling out all the stops. What else makes sense? I guess the Supreme Court theory. They can’t be that stupid can they?

It has to do more with the coming election and desperation to beat Trump, I think.

Clinton was lucky. He was tried in the Senate and no one disputed what he did.

This is a joke and a non-starter

As a Democrat, I really don't understand our plan here. These witch hunts along with an unelectable Warren are about to bite us in the arse and we're going to see another 4 more years of Trump.

Impeachmnet has no chance. This is about damaging Trump for 2020.

KISS- Keep it Simple Stupid

Dems can not win on policy. So they are going after him in the court of public opinion.

For now, they are throwing darts, hoping something turns up that would force the Senate to convict him.

Thus, they want an investigation whereby they hope to get access to everything possible, maybe even Grand Jury testimony from Mueller. They will try everything. It is indeed a witch hunt. The old, show me a person and I'll find the crime thing.

They are playing Russian Roulette.

This. Impeachment results in a black cloud over the Presidency.

That’s why Trump is releasing the Transcript.
You can say what you want about Nancy Pelosi, but whenever she tells Donald to jump, he asks, “How high?”

Maybe to have the argument that while actually under the cloud of impeachment, he's not allowed to make SC nominations?

Tell that to the House Republicans from 1998. Impeachment proceedings cost them the Presidency and House.

It will cost the Democrats the same in 2020.

The American people can take only so much blatant political horseshite, and impeachment hearings without substance are apparently the line.

They also had the Senate. Even if they didn't get the request votes there, if they could get a majority it would have kneecapped him politically (or so they thought).
