Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) pledged Friday to release the trove of impeachment-related documents that the White House has barred, should she become president.
On day one as president, I will order the release of every document related to this impeachment inquiry that the administration has been hiding. The public needs to know what happened. All the other candidates for president should commit to take this step as well.

She added that Republicans should know that “this evidence won’t be hidden forever.”
Warren made the promise just days after her campaign unveiled its Department of Justice task force to investigate members of the Trump administration for possible corruption.
Her proposals are carefully timed. Democrats are frustrated as the trial unfolds and, despite Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) adept leadership of the argument, all signs point to an easy acquittal at the hands of Republican senators.
Warren may be as powerless as her Democratic peers now — but at least she can promise retroactive justice, should she win the election.
Good. This should be a promise across the board and part of our platform. The GOP and white Christian nationalism must die.
“…despite Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) adept leadership of the argument, all signs point to an easy acquittal at the hands of Republican senators.”
WTF, ALL signs have ALWAYS pointed to an easy acquittal, regardless however adept any Dem presented the case. Sheesh.
Great, another reason I’ll be voting for her in the primary. Sadly, if Biden gets the nomination and wins the general, we’ll be facing ‘it’s time to look forward, not back’ once again so that Republicans know 100% they can pull all the same shit the next time a republican is president. I’m fairly certain Mayo Pete also falls in that category. Bernie, who knows? He’d probably pay lip service to justice, but be too focused on his lifelong pet projects.
It would seem should Dems win the Presidency in 2020, a good start on sabotaging the 2022 midterms would be to spend two years banging away at revenge against the GOP for real and perceived crimes and disses.
I’m sure that’s exactly what a scandal fatigued electorate will be clamoring for.
This is actually really smart, both for Warren’s campaign, but also in putting maximum pressure on GOP senators.
The information the Trump Administration is hiding with the help of Republican Senators will not stay buried forever.
