The first subpoenaed witness in an impeachment inquiry should be none other than Robert Mueller, who has provided a legitimate, documented basis on which to proceed, but is apparently reluctant to testify voluntarily. He is after all, a partisan; his investigation was narrow in scope and does not consider subjects such as fraudulent finances, foreign emoluments, and illegal campaign contributions. Negotiations for Mueller's appearance since the release of his investigative report have been unsuccessful. Only a deranged narcissist who believes himself above the law would call Mueller's investigation an "attempted coup". How can the country be any more divided than it is right now?
One of the best indicators of actual leadership (not a person's bank account) is the ability to recognize an inflection point in history. The country was at that point in 1940 when half of Europe was under Nazi tyranny, but almost half of the population did not want to become involved in another catastrophic European conflict. Fortunately FDR and others realized the extent of the fascist menace facing the country. 'Merica is at another inflection point. As one North Carolina congressman stated succinctly, “If this cover up continues, President Trump may leave us no choice." This belligerent man-child occupying the Very White House is asking for it, portraying himself as the victim of irrational political hostility. With a little help from our representatives he will get more than he wants.
