Despite the Mueller report being a big dud after all that moonbattery-mongering from the Democrats (hey, we’re still waiting for all that evidence from Schiff and Nadler and Swalwell they said they have), and it essentially exhonerating Trump from all the “charges”, they’re thinking of including it
Democrats quietly debate expanding impeachment articles beyond Ukraine
House Democrats are debating whether to expand articles of impeachment to include charges beyond abuse of power in the Ukraine controversy, setting up a potential internal clash as the party races to impeach President Trump by Christmastime.
Members of the House Judiciary Committee and other more liberal-minded lawmakers and congressional aides have been privately discussing the possibility of drafting articles that include obstruction of justice or other “high crimes†they believe are clearly outlined in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report — or allegations that Trump has used his office to benefit his bottom line.
The idea, however, is running into resistance from some moderate Democrats wary of impeachment blowback in their GOP-leaning districts, as well as Democratic leaders who sought to keep impeachment narrowly focused on allegations that Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rivals, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk freely.
This shows that the Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine thing has turned into a dud, as well. Democrats also know that there is no way Trump gets booted out of office from the Senate. Perhaps Democrats are hoping that they regain the Senate and can pull the trigger when Trump gets re-elected thanks in part to this whole idiotic impeachment schtick? They’d still need 67 Senators to vote for impeachment.
As far as using his office to benefit himself, well, that would open some serious cans of worms. Perhaps Comrade Bernie could explain how he became a millionaire, a lot of which came from book sales which would only have happened with him being a U.S. Senator. How many Senators and House members could be accused of the exact same thing, using their position to enrich themselves? Don’t think Team Trump won’t attack hard on this, exposing Democrats who have done things to enrich themselves.
Oh, and don’t think Team Trump won’t go after Biden hard for enriching his sons while in office, which was rather corrupt, and part of the point of what Trump wanted investigated by Ukraine. Seriously, Democrats would be making Trump’s point.

It would be great to see the entire Congress arrested for racketeering under the RICO statutes. After a short trial all of their assets would be seized and convicted members sent to the big house. With a 18% approval rating for Congress Trumps approval could jump temporarily to 90%+.
So, as I recall, the Mueller report was a nothingburger, and the business with the aid to Ukraine is as well.
When they taught me arithmetic, I learned that any number multiplied by zero is zero.
So, do two nothingburgers have more calories than just one?
