Perhaps Mike would prefer they wait until Trump admits that he'd ever done anything wrong - anytime - anywhere.
Republicans are so convinced of Trumps invincibility, re-electability, and voter loyalty, that they're doing everything possible to ensure that he has no primary challenger. Reminds me of the DNC's efforts to ensure that H. Clinton had no primary challenger ( which they failed to do anyway).
Trump says China is ready to make a deal, so he goes out of his way to antagonize them further, ensuring another delay. If I didn't know better ( tongue-in-cheek ), I'd think Trump doesn't really WANT a trade deal, perhaps because he wouldn't know if it were a good deal or not. Maybe he needs some new economic advisors, you know, some folks that actually know some stuff about Trade and such.

This is what I see the Pompeo-dems thing he's suing them and may destroy the party may not.
From Patriot Pulse
Democrats have been extremely unfair to Attorney General William Barr.
They are trying to impeach him because he works for President Donald Trump.
And now Barr will destroy the Democrat Party after they hit him with a lawsuit you won’t believe.
In the past year, Democrats have gone all-out to try to take down William Barr.
They held him in contempt of Congress and tried to throw him behind bars.
But that never happened.
So now they just filed a lawsuit attempting to force Barr to release information to the House Oversight and Reform Committee about the Trump administration’s failed effort to place a citizenship question on the 2020 census.
Democrats are also including Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on the 85-page lawsuit.
Politico reports:
“The House Oversight and Reform Committee filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to enforce the panel’s subpoenas seeking information about the Trump administration’s failed efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
“I am filing this enforcement action today because the Trump Administration’s brazen obstruction of Congress must not stand,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the Oversight Committee. “President Trump and his aides are not above the law.”
The 85-page lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, comes a day after House Democrats won a major victory in their months-long fight to secure testimony from former White House Counsel Don McGahn.
The suit is an indication that Democrats believe their hand has been strengthened by the victory in the McGahn case as they seek documents related to other subpoenas that the Trump administration has defied.
The House first voted to enforce the subpoenas in July, formally holding Barr and Ross in contempt of Congress for defying the committee’s subpoenas seeking information about the administration’s ultimately unsuccessful efforts to add a citizenship question to next year’s census.”
Of all the fights Democrats waged this year, killing the citizenship question on the 2020 census is the most ridiculous.
They believe that the census shouldn’t include a simple question about whether the people in the home are U.S. citizens.
And even after winning this fight, they want to punish Barr over it.
You can be sure that William Barr is going to fight back with everything he’s got.
How will they know who is a citizen? Not a citizen, no freebies. The Dems are sabotaging themselves.
One senator a Rep. said he didn't think there were enough votes to get the impeach bill anywhere in the Senate.
As for China, he's just making it hard to see how much China wants this deal. So it is a lot like psychology.
