DEMS/GOP/IMPEACHMENT/NANCY PELOSI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Democrats are injecting an urgent new argument into their already fast-moving impeachment drive: President Donald Trump poses such a flagrant threat to American governance and democracy that there is no time to waste…The emerging Democratic gambit is prompting Trump’s GOP defenders — who have long struggled to coalesce around a coherent strategy of their own — to launch a fresh counterattack, warning that a rush to condemn the President proves the case against him is shallow and politically motivated. The President himself appeared to contradict that defense Thursday [12-5-19] morning, tweeting, ‘if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business.’”
