In the spirit of compromise, which I think is missing from this age, may I suggest this: Let’s impeach him now but keep investigating, and if we find more evidence, impeach him again. twitter.com/philippereines…

Watching the House Judiciary Cmte.'s hearing.
Fascinating. The impeachment experts are terrific.
Meanwhile, the man-child who pretends to be POTUS has embarrassed America once again while he was abroad.
Even Boris Johnson laughed at Trump.
At the NATO summit, President QuidProQuo acted like a lunatic, other NATO leaders talk about his lunacy, and then he gets mad and runs home like a lunatic.
Trump said other countries were "laughing at us" more than 50 time before he was elected president. He said it would stop under him.
The President of the United States is viewed as a blubbering fool by his colleagues and is a laughing stock on the world stage.
U.S. President Donald Trump was roasted by critics after he canceled a news conference meant for the end of the NATO summit to return to Washington early.
Trump cited his extensive comments to journalists Tuesday and Wednesday as reason for the abrupt cancellation, but critics tied to move to the viral video of world leaders apparently mocking him.
Trump denounced Justin Trudeau as "two-faced" on Wednesday after the Canadian prime minister was caught on camera laughing over Trump's press appearances during a chat with other leaders at a Buckingham Palace reception.

America's Immoral President
America's immoral president inserted himself into a situation where he had no understanding of the UCMJ, and certainly no understanding of morality. Gallagher's fellow SEALS turned him in. They knew he broke the UCMJ law against killing a captive enemy combatant and posing with the deceaased's body But that didn't stop America's immoral president from interceding in a case that the Navy was handling.
"He was limp and dusty from an explosion, conscious but barely. A far cry from the fierce, masked Islamic State fighters who once seized vast swaths of Iraq and Syria, the captive was a scraggly teenager in a tank top with limbs so thin that his watch slid easily off his wrist. Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher and other Navy SEALs gave the young captive medical aid that day in Iraq in 2017, sedating him and cutting an airway in his throat to help him breathe. Then, without warning, according to colleagues, Chief Gallagher pulled a small hunting knife from a sheath and stabbed the sedated captive in the neck.
The same Chief Gallagher who later posed for a photograph holding the dead captive up by the hair has now been celebrated on the campaign trail by President Trump, who upended the military code of justice to protect him from the punishment resulting from the episode.
Prodded by Fox News, Mr. Trump has made Chief Gallagher a cause célèbre, trumpeting him as an argument for his re-election. The violent encounter in a faraway land opened a two-year affair that would pit a Pentagon hierarchy wedded to longstanding rules of combat and discipline against a commander in chief with no experience in uniform but a finely honed sense of grievance against authority.
The highest ranks in the Navy insisted Chief Gallagher be held accountable. Mr. Trump overruled the chain of command and the secretary of the Navy was fired."

BREAKING NEWS!
A judge rejected the Trump administration’s argument that senior White House officials are immune from congressional subpoenas.
Don McGahn, the former top lawyer at the White House, must testify to congressional impeachment investigators, a federal judge ruled Monday.
In a decision that could reshape the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch, U.S. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson ruled that McGahn, who spent 30 hours talking to special counsel Robert Mueller's team, can't hide behind President Donald Trump's claim that he is "absolutely immune" from speaking to Congress.
The decision is expected to put pressure on other reluctant Trump administration witnesses to also appear before Congress as lawmakers prepare their articles of impeachment.
