Time to Start the Impeachment Process
By Thom Hartmann A...
Some Democrats are afraid of impeachment because after he was impeached Bill Clinton was more popular than before. But that's because throughout the impeachment process we learned that Bill Clinton had not committed any of the multiple crimes the Republicans had first talked about; the only thing he was guilty of was having an affair and lying to cover it up. About half of American married people have done the same; that's a tough one to sell to people as a reason to remove a president.But an impeachment hearing against Trump will reveal the whole spectrum of actual crimes, and when the American people learn the details, they will support an impeachment effort.
Begin the investigation!

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
As a life-long Democrat... it is quite puzzling to hear Pelois et al stand against impeachmnet proceedings... thus I offeer this plausible explanation why Congressional democratic leadership resits impeachment and attempts to "sell" thier opposition on the loosley stated defense of not important as other legislative initiatives underway. For Pelosi and other Democrats to not want to impeach him (for the sake of credibility) they appear to fear being exposed in some way (probably would result in their big-money backers abandoning them) and so they are dedicated to covering thier own political fortunes as a driving force. Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Steny Hoyer.... all been in offcie 20+ years and plausible they have.. like Republicans...pecuniary relationships with wealthy donors that want Trump's corruptions to remain obscure... out of public view. Impeachment could bring on a wave of support for donation changes that would take away thier power so teh big money financiers are calling shots for both parties. Trump family should be indicted also. Spein out... collateral damage.. could be exposure of McConnell... Graham and others who have received Russian-backed contributions that financed thier campaigns. The power structure in Washington would be/is being in jeopardy. A lot of corruption exposed in both parties could result from opneing the "can of worms" impeachment process openes. Thus Nancy Pelosi & senior tenured Democrats are holding firm on covering thier own financial futures by not supporting impeachment.... impeachment will air a lot of dirty laundry for Congressional Governance for both parties. Impeachment could be that one major event that will close that huge "Brothel" we call Congress. So resisting impeachement is the usual CYA program for lected officials which systemically are "owned" by thier "pimps" IE wealthy donors. Washington is ran as a "free enterprise" for the wealthy that make investmnents in both parties to actually run America... the marketing collateral used to get elected to office--the notion of patriotism... is secondary to exercising power over this nation via big money. Elected officials for a long-long time operated as self-interested "prostitutes" for their "pimps" not dedciated to the interests of the electorate. Adam Smith would be proud of their disregard for supporting the "consumer sovereignty" of the voters.
