Not a big CNN fan, but this is a very well-done dissection.

    The strategy here is to be able to say Biden was impeached, just like Trump was, when it comes to 2024. Devalue the process. Neutralize Trump’s impeachments. You say Biden’s is illegitimate? So does trump about his.

    It doesn’t matter to this strategy if the claims have any value. It doesn’t matter if they never get voted on, either. Just having an inquiry could be enough.

      We as a society have a real problem, when one side loses the culture wars, and decides a pyrrhic victory is the way to go, what happens to all of us then.

      Yep, 100% delegitimizing impeachment that doesn’t include removal from office. Though, they did that with Clinton already.

      Absolutely, minimize the whole concept of impeachment AND if you get any new information, (like Hillary’s email server being revealed during Benghazi hearings) that’s a bonus.
