Hold on, you young’ns who just took office in the U.S. House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I’m talking to you rookie Democrats who are hollering about impeaching Donald J. Trump. You want to impeach the president already? Before the special counsel, Robert Mueller, releases his findings?<\/p>\n

Don’t get ahead of yourself. In fact, listen to your congressional Democratic elders. They know a whole lot more about the process than you do.\u00a0House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is shying away from impeachment talk. Yes, she said it’s “possible” that Trump might be indicted, even while he still serves as president. She’s not jumping on the impeach Trump bandwagon now, however.<\/p>\n

You see, no matter how y’all are able to cobble together a simple House majority that can impeach the president — for unspecified “high crimes and misdemeanors”<\/em> — you’ve got this problem in the Senate.\u00a0Trump would go on trial. A conviction requires a two-thirds vote. That’s 67 out of 100. Spoiler alert: The Republicans still occupy more Senate seats than Democrats. What’s more, impeachment is the most partisan political move that members of Congress can initiate. It isn’t a legal<\/em> proceeding.<\/p>\n

My advice to the House Democratic rookies is to wait for Mueller to finish his work. He’s been digging, scouring, poring over documents, evidence and mountains of other information gleaned from interviews with those close to the president.<\/p>\n

It might be that Mueller delivers the goods relating to conspiracy, obstruction of justice, maybe even collusion<\/em> with the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

Or . . . he might come up empty.<\/p>\n

Wait for the man to finish!<\/p>\n\n
