Pence wants the Trump investigation to wrap up too:

Prove it. Or they need to prove it. I don't think it's going to be that easy.

Well proff lets see he just coicidebtly happened to decide to say to Comey your fired after he told him about the investigation for what reason> Was Trump thinking "Oh how lovely I so do look forward to him investigatin me in a way that may lead me to being impeached, oh yes he has bad typing skills and his manners have not been up to par I better fire him now"

Yea right the only reason he would tell Comey he was fired right after he found out about the investigation is to get him off his scent and trail. The answer to your question in short is DUHHHHHHHHH!

Yes, but that still has to be proven. How are you going to prove what was in Trump's head when he fired Comey? Even before Trump fired him, there were Democrats wanting him removed. I'm not saying his reasons weren't nefarious, just that even if it was, unless Trump screws himself with his own testimony, it's going to be really hard to prove.
I can see it now, when Trump testifies, he tells them "I had the greatest and most spectacular and amazing collusion with Russia ever. You'd be so amazed and surprised at how good it was."
Then he tells the press "I had the greatest testimony ever in the history of testimonies. You would be wowed and speechless over how great my testimony was."
Then after's he removed from office "I had the most superior firing over anyone who has ever been fired. When people look to me, they'll say 'Trump gets fired better than anyone else does.'"

Because he blurted it out loud on national television?

The Times was reporting a few days ago that the Trump team was prepping Trump for questioning. If I recall correctly, they said the staff spent 4 hours with Trump and made it through 2 questions.

I would hate to be in his staff's position. We know Trump is very egotistical, a buffoon, and he doesn't care what he says. And even if it's something illegal, you know he's itching to brag about something, and take over to make it all about him. If he runs a business like he is the country, it's no wonder so many things he has tried have failed. And here we have Trump's staff who basically have to make Trump not be Trump.

I could not agree more!!!

Two (2)-1/2-more years of Trump spells the end of the USA

With only Israel to guide our way…………………………………………………

Or so some say :)-

It's all a big nothing burger what happen before Trump was president.
It's really not that simple at all, plus what happened before his being elected should count for something. After all, if I were to get a job by doing things that may be illegal, is that all to be forgotten and excused?

Even if the Dems take the House, I doubt that they will go for articles of impeachment for two main reasons, with one of them being that it's highly unlikely that the Senate would remove Trump, plus that most Americans simply don't like having those they elected removed, that action of which caused quite a backlash against the Pubs when they did as such against Bill Clinton.

I also think Pence would be worse.

They took a foolish gamble with Hillary, so when not impeachment?

In many regards, yes, but for a general concern of national security he would be better. Pence may be a champion of the Religious Right, but he isn't itching to bomb people and bark back at NK. In that regard, he's more stable and would be way better than Trump. And if the the Dem-to-Rep ratio can remain very close, Pence will have a hard time pursuing his Conservative agenda.

I agree with the first part of the above but don't know what you mean by the latter, so can you clarify?
Why wouldn't they take another foolish gamble with trying to impeach Trump? That I'm aware of, they haven't done any needed internal changes to deter such things in the future, but they have banked heavily (too heavily, IMO) on the hopes that Trump will sink the Republican party. Which is similar to what Republicans did with Obama's second term. Granted Obama is nothing like Trump, but they're trying to utilize a strategy that has failed time and time again.

I'm just saying unless he is impeached, there's really not much that can be done about it.

Likely correct, imo, but that doesn't mean the inquiry needs to be stopped. There are already over two dozen indictments and five plea deals, so there is a there there that needs to be dealt with.
