Types of Impeachment

For John, BLUF:  The situation in our Nation's Capitol is confusing, which suggests the players are themselves confused.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

As I listen to the Democrats in DC talk about impeaching President Trump, I have come to the conclusion there are three schools of thought, three different reasons for impeachment, which I call Type I, Type II and Type III.

1. "Nancy Pelosi"—President Trump endangers the National security of the Republic.
2. "Hillary Clinton"—President Trump is an illegitimate President and should be removed.
3. "Gerald Nadler"—President Trump's level of corruption cries out for punishment.

Can it be all three at once?  Of course.  But, it is unlikely.  More likely one of the above, or two other options, orthogonal to the regular way of thinking.

There is a Typve IV, which is Deep DNC, characterized by an effort to sink one Democratic Primary Candidate, to be benefit another, with the hope of also muddying up the likely Republican Candidate.

Then there is Type V, the Strikeback, in which the President implants something the Democrats find shiny, which eventually blows up in their face.
