    Right? This is just a wacky line of thought. 99% of cases are “prejudged” that’s why we have a trial process with arguments and counter-arguments. To show evidence and convince the judges of your opinions.

    Sad that impeachment is continuing to be wielded as a weapon more and more. It should be reserved for extreme situations. Not just because you want an excuse to get rid of your opponent

      It was kind of inevitable, unfortunately. After we impeach one of them for even legitimate wrongdoing, if they do not counter-impeach us, they lose perceived legitimacy, which weakens them.

      They had no other strategically sound moves, when you consider their goal of hanging onto power regardless of the wishes of the voting public.
