re: #96 Targetpractice

That really is the question I want to pose to the Dem leadership: “Then what?” We’re supposed to be thrilled about Robert Mueller testifying before Congress months after it would have made a major splash in the pond, but then what? We’ve got all these court cases against Trump over testimony, over documents, and over WH secrecy. But supposing we won them all tomorrow, then what?

There really doesn’t seem to be anything on the other side of the equation.

as i posted downstairs this AM re as to the tax return lawsuit and drama (edited down)
- the Supreme Court orders Mnuchin to turn over Trump’s tax returns
- Trump may order him to refuse.
- This would probably trigger the House to impeach Mnuchin.
- Trump may order all the senators not up in 2020 and those up but not vulnerable to vote for acquittal
- At that point, what could Neal do?

- there’s only so much power and it takes time to line up the ducks
- and as we’re seeing there are inherent weaknesses in the system when one side ignores the norms and conventions and starts pushing the limits further than anyone ever figured
- and even if the other side (dems) did that to, what exactly can they do?

this is just one example of hundreds
