I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

    It was the only thing that could have been done when republicans controlled the DOJ and the Senate.

    Maybe if people in the Midwest weren’t complete idiots we would have had Clinton instead and not had four years of irreversible damage plus a generation of scotus that is hell bent on dismantling everything.

      Please don’t depress me from the reminder that Obama/Hillary should have seated 3 SCOTUS justices, cementing sanity for a generation.

      Seems weird to think that something that accomplished absolutely nothing is a good use of taxpayer money but go off fam on the midwest.

        It accomplished the third presidential impeachment in history and very likely helped lead to Biden winning and Trump not getting four more years.

        Saying absolutely nothing is just defeatism at its best.

        Just because it didn’t lead to the right conclusion doesn’t mean it accomplished nothing.

          Just because it didn’t lead to the right conclusion doesn’t mean it accomplished nothing.

          Plus the evidence discovered during te investigation stillnexists and is still part of the official record, meaning it can be used to support any future legal actions. And will serve as information for future historians looking back at this era.

          Hopefully it can be used as part of some future “those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it” systemic improvements.
