It is an axiom of the GOP that government is incompetent; then they get elected and prove it.

I think he is goading the Democrats to start discussing impeachment ahead of the midterms. He himself has been raising the specter of impeachment on the stump to gin up his base. Get out there and vote GOP or you'll be stuck with Nancy Pelosi and impeachment! Let's not play into his tiny little hands.

See? That thing right there in the header is what's wrong with us today. No sense of history. We have known since the 1970's that if the President does it, it isn't illegal. A famous Republican President said so. So, you know, it has to be true.

The President, however, as any other criminal, cannot say "don't prosecute ME"; that's the part that's the obstruction.

"Prosecutorial discretion" is a thing though. It was the whole basis for the "Dreamers" program. The President can say "don't prosecute that guy" as part of his job.

I'm sorry but "obstruction" just ain't gonna do it against a President. It's a dumb theory. Get him for conspiracy to do some other thing please.
