Its possible that Trump May even block Mueller from testifying before Congress.
From what Ive heard on All Inn, Democrats have no solution to the Trump/Barr obstruction.

(4,516 posts)Trump can block all evidence for impeachment. Congress will not convict him.
Impeachment will get him re-elected.

(7,736 posts)That both parties are basically the same. It will change the perception that Dems are spineless wimps, that they put politics over doing the right thing. They won't win back blue collar/middle class Americans if they don't hold the rich elite pig accountable when any one of them would be sent right to jail for the same.

Sugarcoated
(7,736 posts)but that assumption aside, it's not just those types that believe the coke/pepsi comparison, many Democrats and Liberals feel disgusted and betrayed. In fact, that's what prepared the fertile ground for crooked Don to poach blue collar voters in PA

(6,831 posts)Impeachment will lead to discovery. EVERYTHING will be on the table. There is nothing he can do to prevent the discovery phase. And when it all comes out, the repukes will have mutiny on their hands if they fail to act.

Even if he loses court cases, without Federal law enforcement showing up and enforcing those decisions, what could be done?

(33,643 posts)that he'd have a decent chance to win in 2020 even if he dismembered live babies and consumed their brains with his bare hands on live television, as long as he continues to hate who they hate.
They will refuse to cooperate for impeachment proceedings any more than they do right now. Probably even less.

(2,787 posts)He is going to do everything he can to obstruct congressional over site evident by his attempt to block anyone associate with him from testifying in front of congress. My guess is his next step will be to offer them pardons for defying subpoenas if he hasn't already. If we don't show a backbone and impeach him for what he has done it will not be a good look for us in 2020 and Trump must be defeated for the good of this country.
TwilightZone
(25,517 posts)And he undoubtedly will.
Impeachment isn't a magic wand that will force him to cooperate. Dems will be dealing with similar obstruction in any of the multiple, ongoing investigations whether they're under the guise of impeachment or not.

(2,787 posts)a lot stronger and will get the Supreme Court involved a lot quicker which is what we need to do. Yes I know there are 5 republicans on the supreme court, but I do not believe Roberts is willing to cede that kind of power to Trump. We force Trump to refuse to comply with a supreme court order and make senate republicans defend themselves for not voting to impeach Trump after that they answer to voters for it in 2020.

(2,787 posts)He will do ever thing he can to get reelected including out right stealing the election. Impeaching him will get more people paying attention and to be on the look out for his efforts to steal the election in 2020.

StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)They're conducted in the middle of the day.
But there's nothing magical about impeachment hearings that make them more likely to be broadcast on the networks than other hearings.
standingtall
(2,787 posts)and for that reason all networks will broadcast them in prime time as long as the house of representatives decides to have hearings at night.
COLGATE4
(14,732 posts)he can't dangle possible pardons. The pardons clause of the Constitution provides that "The President...shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
bdamomma
(63,960 posts)now he doesn't even want McGahn to testify either, Trump is exercising his dictatorial powers. WTF.
I hope he has a meltdown he deserves it.
