Trump is committing more high crimes to cover up his high crimes.

I don't care what the Democrats call it, keep the pressure on Trump and his band of crooks and they will destroy themselves. More subpoenas, more hearings, more investigations. Pelosi may have said it best. Trump is self impeaching.

It is time to subpoena Mueller. He has no dam say in the matter. It is time to drag his ass in front of congress and answer questions.

Poor little Mueller, afraid for the American public to see the criminality and treachery of the president of the party he is obviously putting above the constitution and American way of life.

After a while, what is the difference between a dozen crimes and a hundred crimes?

It's all about saving his own butt at this point.
That's how it ended with Nixon, anything to save his own butt.

Maybe he doesn't want to do that in public. I want Mueller subpoenaed. Force him to testify.

That’s why he is haggling with the Dems about testifying. What does he thing this is? Of course it’s political but it’s also about the law and the constitution. He needs to come down off his high horse and help finish what he started by not making a definitive stand in his report.

That is a serious crime and Mueller needs to put country first.

Mueller has principles. You're trying to make it seem petty and selfish, but I don't buy that.

What Nancy is doing is working. She acts like a democrat.
She is not name calling, she is doing her job. Just be patient.

My favorite take away from ol' shockey80 is
keep the pressure on Trump and his band of
crooks and they will destroy themselves


That is what Nancy is doing!

Before one starts with the "they better do this NOW" it might be wise to check to see if they are already doing this.


Negotiations between Mueller’s team and staff on the Democrat-led Judiciary and Intelligence committees have faltered in recent weeks over the best arrangement for open hearings involving the former FBI director. The sources said Mueller has been reluctant to set a firm date for hearings until he gets further clarity from his Justice Department supervisors about the boundaries for what he can publicly discuss that goes beyond what’s in the redacted 448-page report released last month.

Madame Speaker has a distinguished career of accomplished service. Cadet Bone Spurs has decades of distinguished failures and lawlessness. It saddens me that millions of my countrymen bought his lies.

Let the self impeachment accelerate!

is obstruction of justice. Whatever else he's been doing behind the scenes - witness tampering etc. - remains to be seen, but it will be seen!
