Bugsy McGurk
President
Enough already with the House asking Trump’s toadies to testify, sending them subpoenas, etc.
Trump has made it quite clear that he has no intention to follow the law. He will just continue to obstruct justice, and direct all his people to ignore subpoenas.
So, the Dem House has a choice - play Trump’s game of tying things up in court cases seeking to get Trump to follow the law, or just impeach his fat ass.
The House should just draft articles of impeachment and vote on them. They should announce that the allegations will be accepted as true unless Trump testifies under oath to refute them. Trump, of course, would never testify under oath, so the allegations would be accepted as true.
What allegations? Let’s start with this list...
1. The instances of obstruction of justice laid out in the Mueller report, and Trump’s additional obstruction preventing Congress from speaking to Trump’s toadies about the Mueller report findings.
2. Trump’s Ukraine outrages.
3. More obstruction of justice charges based upon Trump’s efforts to cover up the Ukraine events, and now his latest obstruction preventing Congress from further investigating those events.
Just forget about trying to get Trump to follow the law. It’s pointless. He’s lawless. Draft the articles of impeachment - dozens of them - take a vote, and impeach him. Off to the Senate it then goes for trial. Most GOP senators will likely then fully enable Trump’s crimes. So be it. The voters will judge them accordingly.
Let’s get on with it.
