193. Neither U.S. v. Nixon nor Clinton v. Jones were part of the team in impeachment process

Nixon was brought to enforce a subpoena issued by the special prosecutor in a criminal case in U.S. District Court. Clinton was brought as part of a civil case long before impeachment was even being considered.

A court can always expedite a case if it determines it's in the country's best interest. They can do that whether or not an impeachment is pending.

The Democratic leadership hasn't been caught off guard. The problem is they're dealing with a unprecedented situation of a president with no morals or shame being protected by a U.S. Attorney General who also possesses neither attribute. They have to walk some very fine lines.

I'm glad they're proceeding as they are. We only have one shot to get this right. And if they jump the gun on impeachment, impeach him in the next couple of months, then he's acquitted by the Senate, we'll be done. Congress will have spoken, we won't be able to do more investigations, and the country will move on. And we'll have little opportunity to hold this criminal accountable next year. In fact, the impeachment will be his badge of honor and probably his campaign platform.

I say we need to keep digging and putting it out there, dig some more and put it out there. The country needs to see the depth of depravity we're dealing with. And, while it seems counter-intuitive, I fear that impeachment at this stage will prevent that from happening.
