Actually I think Dems have wanted revenge impeachment since Klintoon.
That is true... and before that, maybe.
Trump gave them an easy target. Not that it’s right, but as we know, Don and his Big Mouth make it easy to a)hate him and b) have him “incriminate” himself because he doesn’t have any filter on himself.
That's right too - Though I think they would meaningfully threaten the same against any non-democrat. He DID make it easy for them, being a loudmouth with no machine to keep them off him. And 'no machine' is a direct result of his interface with his own party. I think he made it easy to hang him out to dry.
Now, maybe that's him, maybe that's them. we don't know the truth behind closed doors. But the fault stops right at the top... so that is inevitably his.
But my concern is with the overuse of impeachment law for political purposes.
I think it does massive damage to the law itself. Kinda like what has happened to the Nobel prize. It has become a caricature of what it once was and what it meant, because it has become a willing prostitute for political forces... It means nothing anymore.
And that, sorta, is what is happening to the impeachment process, IMHO.
