The Smart Way.

       The new U. S. House of Representatives will be led by Democrats. They're gonna be torn between going after the president and getting some work done on infrastructure, education, student loans and a whole host of important legislation. My suggestion is for the House to concentrate on all the things Americans need and hold off on the hammer over the president, that's assuming he allows them to do that.
       Already he's placed a guy who hates Mullen's investigation and thinks it should be ended, as interim Attorney General. That might force the House to go after Trump immediately, but let's suppose he stays away from Muller, then they've got to work on what's important to Americans. Like bringing our infrastructure into the 21st century and infrastructure includes a whole host of issues. We all have our favorites and they're all important.
       Another problem area is education. I don't know what you may think of Betsey DeVos, but as Sec'y of education, she's slowly killing public education instead of retooling it and bringing it up to 21st century standards. Privatizing education isn't the answer for any but the wealthiest. Shame on her. We need someone who wants a better outcome for all students.
       Now, if the president proves that he isn't interested in moving these things forward, then it would be time to look at impeachment. Of course, should Mullen turn in his report with damning evidence of Trump's wrongdoings then they'll have to move sooner, but they can do more than one thing at a time. I have confidence in their ability to walk and chew gum at the same time.
