Trump-hating former GOP strategist Rick Wilson says Democrats need to be patient and let Nancy Pelosis strategy of slow-rolling impeachment play out and he says that the end result is that Trump will still be completely f*cked. In the Daily Beast, Wilson said he sympathizes with Democrats who are frustrated that the Trump administration is stonewalling their requests. He said that holding impeachment hearings right now, before theyve exhausted all their legal options to obtain information from the White House, would be a huge mistake. Wilson thinks that Democrats are definitely going to be able to get their hands on Trumps tax returns without starting up impeachment proceedings.
This is a matter of black-letter law, with almost no serious legal scholars making even the most superficial defense of the current contempt with which Secretary Steve Mnuchin and the Treasury Department are behaving, Wilson wrote. Judge Amit Mehta made it quite clear in his 14-page ruling that the rights of Congress to conduct oversight are not founded by the moods and whims of the man-child engaged in stompy-foot time in the Oval Office or in the novel legal theories of his legal team.
Wilson then argues that getting Trumps taxes alone will give Democrats everything they need to crush Trump politically. That smell? Its Trumps panicked flopsweat, Wilson writes. Trumps taxes are his kryptonite, and you can expect him to fight harder on this point than any other.

(7,551 posts)Agreed, the current news is bad for Trump, but I really think there was some seriously skanky sh*t going on between Trump and the Saudis and Putin over the whole invade Iran, give Putin a gas pipleline through Turkey, and sell restricted nuclear technologies to the Wasabi terrorists ruling in Riyadh. I remember the white-sheet looks of Feinstein and others coming out of that intelligence briefing on Flynn. Search warrants released today for Michael Cohen's phone show over a thousand contacts with principal Russians dating from election day.
