MoA—Even before Mueller’s statement some Democrats strongly argued that such an impeachment process is warranted. Mueller’s statement today will be seen as support for that demand.

The leader of the Democratic party in the House Nancy Pelosi so far rejected to make that move. She fears that an impeachment process will only help Trump during the upcoming campaign season. He would certainly try to block the process. He would play the victim and demonize the Democrats over it. The media noise during a running impeachment process would also drown out any other policy issues the Democrats might want to highlight. Russiagate already did that throughout the last two and a half years. It didn’t help the party.

P. GREANVILLE—In one of the (many) memorable scenes IN GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, the office’s current sales lion, Ricky Roma (Al Pacino) loses a juicy commission when the office manager, Spacey, inadvertently confirms to a Roma customer stricken with buyers’ remorse that the sales contract has been sent to the bank, precisely right after Ricky Roma —with typical mendacity—has reassured the man the contract has not been processed.  Williamson’s faux pas detonates a torrent of invective by Roma. The river of insults is so rich and so unrelenting that I thought it could be used as model for the things that the US citizen should be ready to use when dealing with American politicians and media figures shaping their pitiful reality, with extremely rare exceptions all whores and phonies working for the sociopathic plutocracy, and never representing their interest (as they are supposed to do). So, flex your oratorical muscles boys and girls, learn from Pacino, the natural master, no doubt, and add, if you can, your own twist. Action!
