monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

No you are not. Not with me anyway. You keep agressing and insulting me. Either you calm down, or you'll be ignored.

"Former White House chief of staff John F. Kelly has joined the board of Caliburn International, the parent organization of the company that runs the largest facility housing migrant children in the United States."

A staffer for former Rep. Scott Taylor’s (R-VA) 2018 re-election campaign has been indicted on election fraud charges, though the special prosecutor investigating the scandal said in a press release Monday that his ongoing probe has been hampered by “the lack of cooperation of key individuals.”

Lauren Creekmore was one of several Taylor campaign staffers who collected signature sheets riddled with forged signatures to help get an independent candidate on the ballot in the congressional race, an attempt by Taylor’s side to split the Democratic vote in two.

Joe Biden: Congress has ‘no alternative’ but impeachment if Trump blocks followup probes of Mueller’s findings
Two top Dems today hit a similar point on impeachment: If the president keeps blocking congressional requests, Dems could impeach.

Nevertheless, I have felt, like Warren, it is the right and moral thing to do since the Mueller report and let the chips fall where they may.

Think of it though... Public grilling of all the president’s slimeballs. The thing that turned Republican senators against Nixon was when so much of the dirt got exposed that the public turned against him. Public = constituents. Maybe even these present day gutless republican senators would have to think twice if their peeps at home started to get disgusted by the dirt.

I think it’s worth a try.

Besides, it’s their (the House) goddamn job to impeach someone with as many impeachable offenses as Trump.

The Senate won't follow, but still I think the House should start proceedings and follow through with their side. I don't see why they should back off after all they have said and believe about Trump re the last two and a half years.

I think they would; I don't really see a downside

and even if I did, I would still think they should impeach him. I am surprised anyone else agrees with me.

Mueller complained that Barr's letter did not capture 'context' of Trump probe

Trump's supporters know he's a moral sleaze and they're okay with that. But what might put a crack in the wall is if he's revealed to be an actual crook, a tax cheat, and a corrupt businessman.

If evidence of financial shenanigans emerges and we see the percentage of the total population moving to favor impeachment, including a small but significant chunk of Republicans, then it will be time to impeach. But there's no benefit to pursuing this step as a purely partisan enterprise or moral imperative.

Regardless, I feel the right the thing to do is impeach Trump for obstruction as laid out in the Mueller report. I agree to disagree with you.

Bush junior lied to the people and the world to get his war of choice in Iraq, and got away with it. He should have done some serious jail time for that, but didn't.

The whole US press gobbled and relayed his lies,

Although the term is bandied about a lot these days, there is no settled upon definition of a "constitutional crisis", and it is not an actual legal term of art.
When someone uses the term these days, they're generally trying to describe a situation where there is a conflict in the function of government that its political constitution and other governing laws and regulations can't clearly resolve.
I think we're in one now.

The brazen way that Trump and his helpers are rejecting formal requests for testimony and documentation is not anything that we have precedent for. The impunity with which Trump is openly contemptuous of both other branches of our federal government is growing manifestly bolder with each day that passes with the Democrats alternately either vowing to take some definitive action against it, or advising us to settle it all "at the ballot box".

If you're still sanguine in the security that our system provides to keep us safe from an immoral, power-mad tyrant, I think you're either not paying attention or you just don't give a basic ****.

No one likes to admit being in fear. But seeing Barr sit there and smugly lie to the Senate and then tell them he just ain't going to bother talking to the House; to hear and see the weak response...
Are the guardrails really as gone as they seem to be?

Increasingly, I have come to believe that the Dems must go on a total war-footing now. If not, there's no one to stop what's happening. Institutions are too weakened.

What I did catch was sort of breathtaking in Barr's obfuscating. He is no real Attorney General for the United States.
