Because without tapes, this shit ain't gonna fly. It's just another TV show to compete with Brexit for ratings.
In Watergate, we had tapes, not just bullshit "testimony". And people were caught in the act, by real policemen. So far all we have are a bunch of blabbermouths. I certainly hope there is something real to hang 'em with, but the ineptitude is so overwhelming, and given history of the Party, it's not just rope-a-dope.
And this "whistleblower"? please! Goddamn cops tell us, "If you see something, SAY something!" So what's up, ya bastard? If you have solid proof, out with it, pronto! You hear about real heroes falling on the grenade, now it's your turn.
Eh, like I said in ol' boy's journal, the dems will tread lightly, or collateral damage will be severe in discovery. Actually, probably not. People just don't care how crooked they are anymore. As long as their guy wins... That rule applies equally to both sides of the imaginary line.
*sigh* All this bullshit and the republican/democrat party will still receive 95% of the vote next year, and of course the pissing and moaning will never cease.
And a shout out to the morons (no offense to morons) who want to believe I advocate not voting! Love you all!

Except impeachment isn't a trial in the Article III [wikipedia.org] court sense.
What's more, the House of Representatives role in impeachment is one of *investigation and (if warranted) creation of articles of impeachment*. That's the equivalent in US-based (Federal and state) court systems of a prosecutor obtaining an indictment. However, as I mentioned, the impeachment process is *not* an Article III court.
Are you arguing that Congress should not exercise its oversight role? Are you arguing that (for whatever reason), Congress should allow the Executive Branch to do whatever it wants, with no oversight or check?
While impeachment has some similarities with the Article III process, it is not that. It is inherently a *political* as well as legal mechanism. As such, there are risks to both sides when moving forward.
You're once again showing your ignorance of the constitution.

Your rhetorical skills are poor and your knowledge of history, government and public affairs is abysmal.
The "support more and diverse voices" tack you take is a good one. In fact, I'm all in favor of that. We need more diverse voices, a wider variety of choices and ideas.
However, your representation that every individual who doesn't believe *exactly as you do* (to wit: every elected or appointed official is inherently corrupt and evil simply because they hold the position they hold. This is absurd on its face) is either corrupt, stupid or evil shows your ignorance and intolerance.
Tearing it all down will leave us much, much worse off. Working together to fix what's broken (public financing of elections would be a good start, and there's a raft of other things we can do, too) is a better solution thantilting at windmills and calling everyone evil and corrupt.
While she's not my personal favorite candidate (I'm sure you'd be surprised who is), I think poking the bankers in the eye by nominating/electing Elizabeth Warren would be a shot across the bow at those who want to control the political system with their filthy lucre. And that goes on both sides.
If you were better informed and a better communicator perhaps you'd understand that. I'm not holding my breath.
Here's some free advice for you: Get a clue and a grip, friend.

It is another nothingburger distraction from what is going on with the federal reserve bailing out the banks again, that is why it makes no sense to normal people. All republicrats want your eyes off that. Amazingly some of the most partisan idiots are eating it up still.

400 bil for the repo market, I hear. They need the money fast for the drug buy of the year
I had to go watch the movie [rogerebert.com] to figure out what they were talking about.
The real news is always on the back pages.

We can focus on more than one thing at a time. These are important stories, for sure, but corrupting the Democratic foundation of our nation is more important.

Ok, let's start with the DNC. So far they are still untouchable.
The only people with legitimate complaints are those that vote for or ran as independents and other parties. Republicans and democrats can go fuck themselves.

WHATABOUT the RNC who are cancelling primaries left and right to protect Trump?

Oh please! You do anything to avoid looking in the mirror.
What about the canceled primaries? They won't bring in any more money. In fact it would be a waste. If the republican voters don't like it, they can vote for something else. Watch what would happen if they flex their muscle. Damn democrats could do the same and show some strength for a change. That would definitely win votes. Your hysteria won't. You're just deflecting. Look in the mirror. Your tribalism is just as extreme. *Vote Blue no matter who*.

There are over 3,700 hours of taped conversations, with only 3000, or so, available publicly. In addition, only five percent of the recordings have been transcribed and less than 15% have been listened too at all (partly because lots of people listen to conversations with the same players).
