Too close to the election...that is the problem with impeachment. Demsrule86 May 2019 #11

Right. That will be her next excuse Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #20

What would impeachment without conviction gain us? Demsrule86 May 2019 #58

Close to the election is perfect timing, if we can use it to present the evidence. lagomorph777 May 2019 #94

I don't think that is true. The country could not get more divided. pdsimdars May 2019 #6
