no, there are some good nuggets there. The operative word is "pressure." It is a waiting game and Trump is in no hurry. However, Nancy wants to wait. But to save face for her base she's going to be forced to make a move - and it will be a fatal one. Impeachment is a no-win scenario. I also like the whole presidential candidates dropping like flies. The match will light the fire of the fuse, burning from the bottom up. And as the flame reaches the top, it will appear hotter, feel even hotter. THIS is when we get to see how cornered animals react.

The Dems are stuck by the Monkey Trap: they are holding on to Trump as TDS, and just cannot let go, when they should let go and run.
Failure to impeach Trump brings them failure.
Proceeding to impeach Trump is a dead end to failure.
They are split and torn. The tension is irritating to us, but it is eating the Dem House like termites.

Remember the Democrat who said he was against socialism? He mentioned Trump and impeachment in that speech too. He put forth some sane logic, and for that, he was booed and ostracized by the audience.
Impeachment is a zero sum game for the Democrats. Impeaching Trump for not committing any crimes will destroy their party. They know this. The reason that it will destroy their party is because it will skyrocket Trump's popularity from folk hero to Obi Wan Kenobe.
I think the Dems are either waiting to the run up to the 2020 election to impeach or are trying to hold it as leverage against indicting anybody like Clinton or Obama.
Either way it will blow up in their faces once again. Watching them is like watching the old Saturday morning cartoons of the Coyote trying to catch the Road Runner. Get the popcorn.

The major difference between impeaching Clinton and Trump is the msm was supporting Clinton and would be attacking Trump. I'm pretty sure congressmen can't be arrested when the house is in session. Dropping inditements will have to be timed to arrest them leaving DC.

it's absolutely a trap, and he'll give them the small rope they have left and dump the declass before the impeachment has legs.

Could be both actually, with preparations for whichever direction takes off ... but the release of evidence during trials has been a hallmark of the trump team's methodology so far....

I agree with this. Moreover, when the Senate tries him, the public will be watching with great interest all over the world. This is probably the most effective time to bring into play all the evidence of FISA abuse, and possibly more than that.

I think it would be bad optics to release the Kraken while impeachment goes on.
