You only need to take political realities into account when making political decisions.

No, you disingenuous piece of shit. You would have been singing from a different hymn sheet if supposedly neutral decision had the potential to help the disgusting son of bitch whom you think will make those like you richer at the expense of people who have far more merit then you.

No fool you don't. You can be totally impartial and without political motive and still consider political realities. I understand that beyond your understanding because your a partisan hack but it remains true .

That's bullshit. If I have a history as an editor of working for liberal newspapers, the political reality is that I'm more likely to be hired by a liberal leaning newspaper than a conservative one. That doesn't make concentrating on applying to liberal newspapers a political decision. All decisions need to take political realities into account, that doesn't mean that all decisions are political. A decision is political if the purpose or the goal is to achieve a specific political effect. If there is an incidental political consequence of one's decision, that doesn't make the decision political. My goal in applying to liberal newspapers is to get a job, not to advance liberal causes. Likewise, Mueller's decision to attempt prosecution when things are most amenable to his securing a conviction is a strategic consideration, not a political one. That I even need to explain this to you is pathetic. But apparently you think the purpose of Mueller's investigation is to act in the interests of the Republican party and conservatives like you. Apparently you think Mueller's mandate implies he should undermine his own efforts to prosecute federal crimes. Why you think that is as obvious as it is stupid.

Why is that?

Probably because Liberal papers hire smart people

Okay, you're done. You're not even trying to answer the point.

On ignore as well. Do you guys really need to start every post with an insult? Seems if you had facts and logic on your side you wouldn't.

Pelosi and Warren aren't talking impeachment, so how serious could it be?

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/40302...a-priority

Democrats have been crying impeachment for the entirety of his presidency until something actually impeachable comes along. Why? Because there's a possibility of over 200 Democrats getting elected in November, a lot of them in Trump states. They want to win the elections, so they're putting off their morals until December. 

Gotta love politics.

The idiots on the right have some stupid fucking idea that when parties flip and the other is in, all the employees of the prior one get fired and the entire government becomes one party.

Our intel has always been full of a variety of political views. But regardless, republicans and democrats work side by side and overlap administrations. Their oath is to upholding the law, not to a politician.

And their logic sucks that it is a "witch hunt" considering that Comey, Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller ARE ALL REPUBLICANS.

The problem with impeaching (and convicting) Trump is that it would put Pence into office. It seems a much better strategy to make sure the Congress can stop any significant action by Trump and figure out how to win the presidency the next time around.
