1. If republicans refuse

The American people's voices will be heard, and they'll regret once again what they've done. They will be voted out of office. Now they know this, so its their choice.

2. That is why they waited until after the election

They are betting voters will forget in 2 years. They might be right, too.

3. He will get information about the behind the scenes of the investigation...

He will share it with Trump! He must not assume the position...ever! Even if he goes thru the motions of recusal ....

4. I'd expect a Senator to know

that legislation passed by Congress doesn't mean diddly until the preznit signs it. So why do we hear this again and again?(and I don't mean from Gillibrand)

5. "Must?" A word that means nothing to Trump and Republicans. NT
