Not necessarily. I think Pelosi would be far more receptive to impeachment if there were bipartisan support for doing so. Going at it unilaterally could be politically risky. But the ad seeks to shame otherwise shameless partisan Republican hacks into doing the right thing. So it's a step in the right direction...for the country.
No Democrat in the House has illusions of this passing the Senate. Most of us are just fed up with Pelosi obstructing and not doing her goddamn constitutional duty to uphold the rule of law.
I want Trump to be impeached as much as anyone. Because he should be. But Pelosi is tasked with a balancing act. There is the matter of political suicide to consider, and to avoid to the extent possible. If, while dragging her feet, a momentum for impeachment grows on both sides of the aisle, then it will be worth the wait. Consider the video you just saw. I wouldn't underestimate her.
No, it's not. For starters: https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-...federal-prosecutors-would-indict-donald-trump
The opinions of “Hundreds of former Federal Prosecutors” is not evidence of a crime. The fact a entity “gathered” and published these opinions implies a political motivation. What CFR did Trump violate, does the violation of this CFR rise to the level of a impeachable offense, and what is the evidence for each of the elements of the charged crime that is required to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law for a finding of “guilty” by a jury. “Obstruction”, you say? Technically, being late with a response could be considered obstruction. A reasonable test for a legitimate obstruction charge would be: “Did the ‘obstruction’ result in the permanent loss or destruction of significant evidence that prevented the investigators from completing their lawful duties”? The Steele Dossier, Page and Strock, conflicts of interest, FBI politically timed leaks and actions, FISA issues, evidence of witness tampering, and probable illegal surveillance show political motivation behind this whole investigation initiated by and entity that has a lot to lose if Trump follows through on his promise to “Drain the Swamp”. As much as the media may love “trial by the press”, their opinions do not have legal effect. Political effect? Yes, unfortunately. This is one of the issues we face as a country is our biased media. There we have it. A failed two year investigation, not even a prosecution recommendation by the lead investigator no matter how it may be spun, and no specific charges. No wonder the Democrats can’t talk themselves into impeachment. However, these same Democrats seem to fear Americans are not stupid enough to vote for one of their pathetic candidates or lack of a viable Presidential campaign platform. Talk about being between a rock and a hard place politically. “We want the power, but the people don’t want us”. (For President, anyway). “Bwah”.
