I’m a “Trump will be impeached” skeptic. for the following reasons:
1) The entire federal Government including the Supreme Court is in the hands of ideological Republican zealots,
2) At least half of the country is firmly in the “so what?” camp,
3) The Democrats, as ever, are fractured, weak-willed and pusillanimous, and
4) The 4th estate is a joke.
That said, these new revelations about Donny Jr. turn the knob in the direction of something (not impeachment, but something) happening.
Per Josh Marshall:
Donald Trump Jr. began this engagement with Rob Goldstone on the basis of this message. “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
At a minimum Don Jr. and likely (though this is as yet unproven) all high level members of the Trump team knew about this more than a year ago. Ergo, all the total and aggressive denials about Russia’s role supporting Trump, law-breaking for Trump, etc. etc were all the most total and abject lies.
