Today's Political Comment

Friends keep asking me if I think Donald Trump should be impeached.  No.  Impeachment is a political process and the politics in this country are too screwed-up right now to function properly.  We have Senators who voted to remove Bill Clinton from office for lying about an affair who wouldn't vote to remove Donald Trump from office if he really did shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue.

I think Donald Trump should be tried by criminal courts, assuming there will be any that will not be dysfunctional by the time he's outta office and therefore indictable.  In the meantime, he oughta be investigated in all the areas where there's plenty of smoke but Robert Mueller wasn't charged with watching for fires.

And there are other reasons why I think Trump should not be impeached, at least not now.  Ezra Klein makes a much better case than I can.
