Top House Dem Tosses Lifeline To Trump On Mueller Report Day
[TALKINGPOINTSMEMO] House Majority Leader the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer
... Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is...
(D-MD) said Thursday that nothing in the 400-plus page special counsel report changes his impression that Democrats should move forward with impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

"Based on what we have seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point," Hoyer told CNN. "Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months and the American people will make a judgment."

Robert Mueller’s painstakingly detailed document concludes that there was insufficient evidence to determine that Trump collaborated with Russia to swing the 2016 election, and that he cannot say, given existing Justice Department guidelines on indicting a sitting president, whether Trump obstructed justice.

But the report is rife with damning evidence about Trump’s abuse of the powers of his office. Countless advisers were asked to derail, obfuscate or end the Russia investigation, but refused Trump’s orders.

Hoyer’s remarks sparked instant backlash among prominent Democratic commentators. Ex-Obama aide Jon Favreau called the remark "unbelievably disappointing." Adam Jentleson, former chief of staff to ex-Sen. Harry Reid
... the charismatic now retired senator-for-life from Nevada, formerly majority leader, who was beaten to within an inch of his life by a treadmill ...
(D-NV), said it was "an abdication of Congress’ oversight responsibility" not to pursue impeachment proceedings in the wake of the report.

#2 We really need a new party. I'd volunteer my Imperialist Warmonger Party but I like being the only member. So if the Republicans had a spine, they'd impeach any and all future democrat presidents for the crime of being democrat, ie Nazi wanna be slavemasters and worshipers of human sacrifice.

Perhaps renaming the parties to their true MO would make it easier to vote.

Selfish Capitalist Warmongers and Puppy Kickers or the Corrupt Plantation Owners and Millionaires Club.
