Jake Sullivan, now Nat. Sec. Adviser, ex-adviser to Clinton, Obama) on video at 5:00:
“And then you know at the end of the day part of my concern or skepticism of an impeachment process generally is that in highly polarized times, ah, it seems like a nearly foregone conclusion that there will be an impeachment, he will be impeached on an almost partyline vote and then he will be acquitted on an almost partyline vote in the Senate. And so I think it would be foolhearty for those who believe we have a President who has abused his power and committed impeachable offenses not to consider the politics of all of this and to think about how we execute a strategy that is about getting to the truth, yes, but is also about doing so in a way that explains this to the American people so that particularly independent and swing voters do not shift from thinking Wow, the President did something wrong here to Man, the Democrats are really over-reaching and I’m tired of hearing about this and I wish they would just move on to other issues. And that for me is what is really at stake here over the next few months. In addition to exposing and establishing high crimes and misdemeanors by the President there is a larger, ah, ah, need for the Congress to do so in a way that keeps faith with the idea that, um you know, they’ve got to hold on to those voters in the middle believing that in fact this whole inquiry is justified, is legitimate, is proceeding in an effective way....” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrmbIB--DXY
Jake likes them young for sure.
