Tulsi doing Tulsi (R) things.

So anyway, if I was Pelosi, I would get the caucus together and fire off an article of impeachment - just ONE - tomorrow on the G7/Doral thing. Let the investigations roll on everything else.

It needs no investigation, it needs no explanation. It’s blatant corruption and self dealing, and blatantly a constitutional violation. You can put the case to the Senate in less than four hours.

It puts huge pressure on the WH, which is already cracking hard. It gives the Rs time to bail out and disavow Trump early if that’s where the momentum is heading, and if not it gives every D candidate a talking point for the next year. And it gives up none of the investigative leverage. It would be nice to see a comprehensive trial on all the emoulments, but this one is so insanely blatant that there’s really not going to be a better chance in that lane. Pull the trigger, Nancy, you won’t regret it.

Like said yesterday the better tack to take here is to run a emergency appropriations bill through reconciliation procedures that bans ANY government payments to private resorts for the G7, and suggests Camp David as a perfectly viable alternative. This strategy has three key advantages:

1.) Only needs 51 votes in the Senate
2.) Would drive Trump insane with rage
3.) Bypasses any legal challenge of it as a Bill of Attainder
