kiaaHouse Democrats zero in on 'abuse of power' in Trump impeachment inquiry
"Pelosi is said to favor one sweeping charge related to Ukraine, but there's some debate about the need for additional charges."
All partisanship aside, this seems like an interesting turning point. I guess the options the Dems are facing right now are, do they put all eggs in one basket and go with a single article for impeachment - or do they try and have as many articles as possible, and have each of them reviewed and voted separately? I'd surely opt for the latter.
It's kind of like over-charging in a court case. Do you reach with murder when manslaughter is a lock? Hmmm, what a dilemma.
I think the problem here is time. What you've got now is obvious abuse of power, PLUS contempt of Congress on the Ukraine case... So, trying to add more articles regarding other aspects of Trump's behavior (like emoluments) would seem like a waste of time, energy and focus.
I'm kind of inclined to agree with Nancy here. I mean, less is more in cases like these. Where do you stand on this?
