Patty Murray, the third-ranking member of the Senate Democrat caucus, just displayed how frighteningly stupid Democrats are. Yesterday, Sen. Murray said “I agree with my fellow members of the Washington delegation that, as we have learned about the gravity of the potential threats to our democracy identified in special counsel Mueller’s report, it has become clear that the House should begin proceedings to determine whether the president’s action necessitate impeachment.”

Huh? We’ve known about the “threats to our democracy” since 2014. Why would that make one iota of difference in whether to pursue impeachment? The only thing that should affect pursuing impeachment is whether there’s evidence that President Trump committed the crimes of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

The threats to our democracy happened during President Obama’s watch. They knew about the Russians’ attempts to infiltrate our election system and did nothing.

What’s interesting is that Jerry Nadler made an interesting statement in this interview:

Nadler said “When we get more evidence…” I didn’t know that the Judiciary Committee had evidence that an impeachable offense had been found. Simply put, it’s pretty clear that this is nothing more than a hoax. Democrats don’t have evidence that President Trump committed an impeachable offense. The American people see through the Democrats’ partisanship and they aren’t buying the hoax.

If Democrats want to continue beating this dead horse, that’s their option. I just wouldn’t predict a Lazarus-like outcome.
