Liz Peek: Regretful Democrats locked into Trump impeachment – and paying a price for it

By Liz Peek | Fox News

Newsflash: Rep. Adam Schiff is dithering over impeachment! On CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, the House Intelligence Committee chairman claimed that grounds for impeaching President Trump are “not contested” but also said he wants to “discuss this with my constituents and colleagues before I make a final judgment on this.”

Jake Tapper, the show’s host, asked how the leader of the House impeachment drive could possibly waiver. Schiff responded that he wanted to be sure that impeachment based on the evidence collected was what “the founding fathers had in mind.”

Uh-huh. More likely, Schiff is panicked that his unfair inquiry has been a complete flop for Democrats. The public is turning against the drive to boot President Trump from office, causing speculation that Democrats will shy away from an official vote to impeach.

If the Dems stop Schifftyroo's charade they piss off the party's crazy wing and expose that it was a campaign stunt.

If the Dems proceed with Schifftyroo's charade Trump will be vindicated and the Dems' 2016 election shenanigans and 2017-2019 machinations will be exposed.

There has always been an alternative to impeachment that more politically sensible - a vote of censure.  Look for that alternative to emerge since the Dems' kangaroo court has failed to move the needle beyond the reading of "rank partisanship". 

The last, and only, U.S. President to be censured by Congress was in some ways similar to Trump and an avowed political hero of his -  the populist Andrew Jackson.

So after assuring your rabid base that you have an airtight impeachment case, you're going to sell them on a slap-on-the-wrist censure? That popping sound you'd be hearing won't be champagne corks, it will be their heads exploding.

Well it would be entertaining
