Suppose the Dem "Resistance" is Not Just Wrong, but Stupid?

What is going on with the impeachment extravaganza? Or, asked another way, is impeachment all about Nancy Pelosi caving to the New Social Democrats, or is it about trying to hide the facts about FBI and intelligence community malfeasance?
A savvy politician, Pelosi is well aware of how the Clinton impeachment boomeranged on Republicans when they were in the majority...
But
The argument that Pelosi could simply no longer resist the agitation of her party’s leftist base makes little sense... If she could resist the leftist loonies determined to run her party over the cliff with impeachment over “Russian collusion,” she could certainly reject their calls for impeachment over the even more transparently ridiculous charge of an “improper” call, particularly when it distracts valuable attention from her party’s looming presidential primaries. 
Therefore we should look to something else.
No, the real explanation for Pelosi’s sudden flip is that those in the know — in the intelligence community, on congressional committees, and even in the Democratic mouthpiece media with their Deep State sources — warned her in early September of the potential political catastrophe that would ensue as a result of the devastating revelations in both the Inspector General’s report on the FBI’s abuse of the FISA process and U.S. Attorney John Durham’s more comprehensive investigation into the origins and perpetuation of the bogus “Russian collusion” narrative.
I suppose. But, really, do they really think it is going to work? That the CNN-MSNBC-Project 1619 effort is really going to crowd out the drip-drip of reports and indictments that will be coming out in the next few months?

Especially when "paid media" starts in the presidential election campaign?

Really? Nancy Pelosi is doing impeachment in order to lay down smoke to hide the horror of using the FBI and the intelligence community to spy on a presidential campaign?

Has Admiral Pelosi forgotten that we now have radar that can see through smoke?

Hey, I know, Nancy! How about you come clean, and declare that we are all Americans and that there are real, substantical questions about the behavior of the FBI over the last few years and that it is time to put partisanship aside and do a bipartisan investigation of just what went on, and find out who used the powers of the government to swing an election, and how, if it all turns out to be true, we must make sure it never happens again.

After all, remember what you Dems have been reciting from your Watergate prayer book for the last 50 years? It's not the crime, it's the coverup! That's what you geniuses have been teaching us since forever.

Well. Whatabout the coverup of the Obama administration spying on the Trump campaign? "What did [fill in the blank] know and when did he know it?"

See, I think that the really big downside for the Dems is to allow Trump to make the case that the whole Democratic Party knew what was going on, knew that the whole idea that the Trump campaign colluded with Russkies was a hoax, knew that Steele was an unreliable source, knew that the whole Comey-Mueller-Ukraine thing is balderdash. And that the awful truth is that they flat out used the government's surveillance capacity to swing and election and then try to force a duly elected president out of office. Because they could.

So I think that the sooner that some Democratic genius comes forward and say, look, this was worse that a crime it was a blunder, the sooner that Democrats can get back to normal politics instead of playing with smoke and mirrors and pretending that their raft is not heading straight for the waterfall.

Look. What the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the media have been doing for the last three years is one cover-up after another. Just like they sneered at Nixon for doing. And, I suspect, they are getting in deeper and deeper. Hey the latest shoe to drop is that, after the FBI dropped Steele as a reliable source, he started leaking stuff to the now-deceased Sen. John McCain who leaked his stuff to the media. Hey, Mr. Patriot McCain. Thanks, pal!

And I just think, because I was brainwashed by the media back in the day over the Nixon coverup, that the longer this coverup goes on, the worse it will be for the Democratic Party and for Democratic Party officeholders.

And I think that the one person that ought to confront this is Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But because I am a "far right misogynist" I don't think that Our Nance has the cojones to fall on her sword as the Sacrifical Hero. Because women don't do Sacrificial Hero; it's a guy thing.

Just sayin'.
