    Good on her for keeping this in the news for another cycle. This doesn’t go anywhere after she hands them the speaker of the republican controlled House. Johnson is basically going to throw them right in the bin.

    But I imagine her goal is to get the media to cover the drama, and therefore keep this corruption story in the news.

    She and others should just keep filing articles of impeachment every week until Nov. Keep this shit in the news.

      It also tries to help Democratic congressional candidates in close races. Once these get thrown in the bin, they can remind voters that if they flip enough seats, they can have meaningful impeachment hearings in the next Congress.

      Forcing them to put it in the trash is good though… Another thing to report on so perhaps it shifts house seats a bit.

      People have no attention span these days. Our media has trained us to move on quickly to the next thing. They will probably only cover it if someone makes a spectacle of it like Trump does.
