The #MediaJackal who wrote the linked article is Bloomberg’s Jordan Fabian.
He is not as partisan as some. But this is faint praise. His article on President Trump and the judiciary frets that the president is “even” saying the 9th Circuit should be broken up (anyone with common sense would agree), claims that the Trump administration has “interwine[d] partisan politics with the judicial actions” (which has been the case since at least FDR), and quotes random unnamed “experts say” to make an anti-Trump point. Also there’s this bit of prime #MediaJackaling: “President Trump on Tuesday insisted he is not a racist”
So we know that Jordan Fabian is not a disinterested reporter–not that we would expect one from a news organization controlled by anti-self-defense zealot Michael Bloomberg.
With that in mind, we turn to Jordan Fabian’s story today, claiming that “Donald Trump’s presidency stands on its most treacherous ground” yet.
This is trivially true and, at the same time, uninteresting. The House has always been able to vote to start to impeach, or vote to impeach. The fact that Orange Man Bad is still breathing is, to the Dems, reason sufficient to impeach. Impeachment was always a done deal. The question only was timing. Now it is happening.
But unless the makeup of the Senate changes significantly, the president will not be removed from office. So impeachment matters a lot, procedurally and politically. But it matters little practically.
