COTW: State of the Unionski

It seems nowadays that the politicos in the Swamp are constantly undoing what they do with one hand what they have done with the other.  After symbolically rebuking the dictator-in-waiting by a passing joint resolution against his sham declaration of emergency (symbolic because everyone in town knew he would veto the legislation, and Democrats did not have the votes to overrule him), the Democrats congressional leader, Speaker Pelosi, declares "he is not worth impeaching"  US Person considers that signal from the party leadership a further betrayal of democracy. He thinks defending democracy is always worth it, even if you have to give up your home doing so.

It was not worth impeaching Bill Clinton for a single lie under oath about his affair with an impressionable intern either, but the Repugnants did it anyway, and he only escaped conviction in the Senate by a single vote.  At the extreme least there is credible, corroborated evidence on the record that Individual 1 made illegal campaign payments to his paramours to keep them quiet during his campaign for president.  That should be enough to warrant a House vote.  Partisanship aside and patriotism to the fore, Pelosi's disheartening statement gainsays the outcome of the Mueller probe, and her own investigating committees. Hair Further has been implicated abetting a Russian espionage operation to obtain stolen communications from the DNC, a serious enough allegation to warrant an FBI counter-espionage investigation, which he tried to derail by firing the agency's director!  Then he lied to the people about his on-going business dealings with the Kremlin.  Is the Speaker trying to signal these earnest investigators to back off?  Has a back room agreement been reached to circumvent the nation's laws, again?  Did she get 12 Repugnant votes to support the joint resolution in return for her undermining due process?  US Person wants to know, and so do the American people, who are sick to death of government by scandal.
