    Default "Trump's troubles won't end with a Senate acquittal"

    "The Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump will be resolved in the next week or so; the president will claim vindication and that it's all over. He's only half right."

    "He will be officially acquitted on a largely partisan vote, but the issue and investigations of Trump’s misconduct won't be over. There will be more House inquiries into new revelations on the Trump-Ukraine scandal, perhaps even the Mueller special counsel probe, the president's potential financial conflicts of interest — and likely new lawsuits."

    "What the Senate does — or doesn't do — in the days ahead will shape these events. If the Republicans are seen just trying to protect Trump, it won't change the outcome but will ease the case for more wide-ranging subsequent investigations.

    "Republicans will counter with two arguments: that their opponents are ignoring the issues voters really care about while hounding the president, and that this is unprecedented harassment in an election year. Both are bogus."

    "The House passed an ambitious legislative agenda last year on major domestic initiatives; almost all are being stiffed by Senate Republicans and the Trump White House. As for the unseemliness of investigating a presidential candidate in an election year, in 2016 the House Republicans conducted countless, politically-fueled inquests into Hillary Clinton"

    https://thehill.com/opinion/white-ho...nate-acquittal

    Trump will always be only the third President ever to be impeached, and everyone knows "the Trump scandals will be an unfolding saga, " largely due to Trump himself

    If reelected, and the Democrats maintain the House, the drama will only intensify. Trump never learns from his mistakes, his ego it too big, so it is inevitable the emoluments concerns, his taxes, the lawsuits, further Ukraine revelations, and just Trump being Trump will guarantee continuation, he just can't help himself

    Not a question of taking Trump out, Trump does a pretty good job of that on his own, rather keeping Trump accountable, which last I knew the Founders Fathers appointed that responsibility to the Legislature, not their fault Trump makes it so easy

    Does it ever occur to Democrats [or you] that going for Trump’s jugular every third week is alienating non-Democrats and/or voters who don’t despise him?

    Using the office of the presidency to solicit foreign governments to undermine a domestic political opponent is extremely unethical, shockingly sleazy, and a manifestly brazen abuse of the office of POTUS

    Everyone on this board, including you, know what Trump did was way over the line.

    If Obama had done this you would have deemed it utterly unacceptable and even treasonous

    Crossfire Hurricane is under criminal investigation and involved foreign actors and it occurred under Obama.

    And it was actually consequential. It very nearly unseated a duly elected President.

    *Asking* for an investigation of someone *who may turn out to be* a political opponent falls well short of that.
