Indictment-O-Rama, Act 3: Cohen Up the River

[SteveRogers]

John Dean on Cohen filing: Congress will have to 'start impeachment proceedings'

I don't think it's wise for Dems to do that. Alas, they will do it and fail. At the end of the day, if they try, it'll be Clinton all over again. Newspaper headlines will flash: "TRUMP ACQUITTED".

While I dont think impeachment would succeed right now, there is a difference between Clinton and Trump. Most Americans support Mueller and his investigation.

Ken Starr on the other hand, was always extremely unpopular

Comparing what’s happening now to what happened during Bill Clinton makes no sense. This is uncharted territory.

Again, all you guys have are polls. Polls. The same polls that had me sad on election night that Rich Cordray was gonna be my Governor, Andrew Gillum was going to be Governor of Florida, Rick Scott was gonna lose, Kim Reynolds was doomed, Donnelly might pull through, Hawley wasn't gonna win Missouri and Hillary Clinton was gonna win 350 electoral votes.

Without citing polls, tell me what the purpose of a year of dividing America when it will change nothing is? You can't kick him out of office. He could easily win again with or without impeachment from the Democrats. It could backlash, it might not. But what's the purpose of putting the country through it?

Uh, the purpose of “putting the country through it” is that there is mounting evidence that the President has committed crimes, and there is a specific protocol outlined in the Constitution for what is supposed to happen when the president has committed crimes.

Is it common for a judge to ignore a sentencing recommendation in a plea deal?

Not uncommon. Depends on the judge (and often the likely media visibility of the case).
