资深民主党策略专家詹姆斯·卡维尔敦促民主党人：如果该党在11月赢得众议院控制权，就应避免推动对唐纳德·特朗普总统的第三次弹劾，因为此举“极难成功”。
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville urged Democrats to avoid pursuing a third impeachment of President Donald Trump if the party wins control of the House of Representatives in November, arguing it would be "highly unlikely" to succeed.
在周四的《政治作战室》播客中，卡维尔与共同主持人阿尔·亨特认为，弹劾纯属浪费时间，民主党人应当将精力集中在对总统的调查上。
On the "Politics War Room" podcast on Thursday, Carville and his co-host Al Hunt argued that impeachment would be a waste of time and Democrats should devote their energy to investigating the president instead.
“有一件事我认为民主党人应当避免，那就是弹劾，”亨特说道，“特朗普确实犯下了足以被弹劾的罪行，其恶劣程度远超2019年他在乌克兰事件中被指控的种种行为。事实上，至少能列出十几项相关罪状。不过，詹姆斯，你要知道：弹劾根本不可能实现，而且还会分散我们的注意力。”
"I’ll tell you one thing that I think Democrats should steer clear of, and that’s impeachment," Hunt said. "It’s not that Trump has not committed impeachable offenses, far worse than what he was accused of back in 2019 with Ukraine. I mean, he has.
“这纯粹是浪费精力，”亨特与其他民主党人一样发出警告，“要调查、调查、再调查。千万别去做一件注定失败的事。”
I mean, you could come up with a bill of particulars of, you know, a dozen at least. But you know something, James? It’s not going to happen, and it is a distraction."
卡维尔对此表示赞同，并指出最高法院正在保护特朗普免受其行为的法律后果。
"It is a waste of energy," Hunt, like other Democrats, warned further. "Investigate, investigate, investigate.
“我们展开调查后，很快就会发现大量证明其存在犯罪行为的证据。然而按照最高法院的说法，特朗普根本不可能犯罪——因为他凌驾于法律之上，”卡维尔无奈地说道。
Don’t go on a mission that isn’t going to succeed." JACK SMITH'S TRUMP PROBE SWEPT UP FOX NEWS, OTHER MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS AS INVESTIGATION WENT BEYOND LAWMAKERS Carville agreed, arguing that the Supreme Court is protecting Trump from the consequences of his actions.
“不过，假设有人说：‘这是无可辩驳的证据。我们必须采取行动，他怎么能继续留任呢？’ 其实弹劾过程会极其艰难，”卡维尔警告道。“它耗时良多，而且成功的可能性极低——毕竟在参议院需要获得大量票数才行。不过我保证，2027年初我们就会迅速了解到大量相关信息。”
"So, you investigate, and, of course, what you’re going to find — and you’re going to find it quickly — is overwhelming evidence of criminal activity. Now, of course, he can’t commit a crime according to the Supreme Court because, well, he’s above the law," Carville lamented. "But suppose you say, ‘This is incontrovertible proof. We got to do something about this.
“我同意。不过对于‘迅速’这一点我或许有些异议，因为我认为调查必须彻底才行，有些调查实际上需要耗费不少时间，”亨特回应道。“虽然调查需要时间才能形成完整证据链，但我们肯定能查明真相。这一点你说得完全正确。我反对弹劾只是因为我觉得它难以成功，还会分散我们的精力。”
How can he stay in office?’And impeachment would be a very difficult thing," Carville warned. "It’s time-consuming. It’s highly unlikely to be anything because of the — you need so many votes in the Senate. But we’re going to find out a whole bunch of stuff really fast at the beginning of the year 2027. I promise you."
即将卸任的众议院民主党议员阿尔·格林再次提交了针对唐纳德·特朗普总统的弹劾决议案。福克斯新闻数字频道还采访了前民主党顾问丹·特伦蒂内，他认为卡维尔与亨特的观点十分准确。
"Well, I agree. I might quibble with ‘very fast’ because I think investigations got to be thorough. They got to be really — some of them are actually going to take a while," Hunt replied. "They’re going to build a case, but we’re going to find them out. You’re absolutely right about that. And I am only against impeachment because I think it’s not going to succeed and will be a distraction."
“阿尔和詹姆斯说得对。用詹姆斯的话来说，这就是个简单的数学问题罢了。除非发生极其出人意料的情况，否则参议院不可能凑齐67票来判定总统有罪。民众也并不支持弹劾，”特伦蒂内说道。“如果我们赢得多数席位，那些投票支持我们的选民的诉求也很明确：希望我们全力解决与他们生活息息相关的问题。我们应当履行应有的监督职责，至于问责事宜就交给历史以及2028年的选举来决定吧。”
OUTGOING HOUSE DEMOCRAT AL GREEN FILES ANOTHER IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION TARGETING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP Fox News Digital spoke to former Democratic advisor Dan Turrentine, who suggested Carville and Hunt are spot-on. "Al and James are right. To paraphrase James, it’s a simple math issue, stupid. Unless something truly unimaginable [happens], there will not be 67 votes in the Senate to convict. And the public is not there, either," Turrentine said. "If we win the majority, the voters that delivered it are clear, they want us laser focused on their lives, the issues they care about.
