So while trying to impeach Trump, he'll have the whole archive ti defend himself or pre-empt, or leak about his cronies' investigations? (Including sons' and Ivanka's)

What two pros from Dover

In reply to Mike I get this, believe you

What two pros from Dover think on the Mueller question, Preet Bharara and Glenn Kirschner:

Agreed but Bob Mueller is fully prepared for this (& likely every other) eventuality. Muller can promptly ask the grand jury to return an indictment based on the evidence he has presented over the past 18 months. At that point, the case is an active prosecution in court & IT’S ON https://t.co/5edcLrh1QG

In reply to There will be no "soft

Our fellow Republican citizens know that votes are being suppressed and they simply don’t care. There are former Republicans who realize that Republicans are scum. As you note, in very short time, 70% of the country will be controlled by 30% in small states. This cannot stand. Our fellow Republican citizens saw babies kidnapped at our border. They hear the venomous rhetoric of Donald Trump. Our fellow Republican citizens are not children.

New AG scammed gullible

New AG scammed gullible inventors of millions. Isn't that what being a Republican is all about?
