If either Trump or Pence goes, Republicans will shut down any moves toward impeachment of the other at least until they appoint a Republican to take over as VP and become the next president.

It was exactly the same during Watergate. Once Agnew resigned, Republicans made it clear that they would stall impeachment in its tracks until Ford was confirmed as his replacement. There was no way they were going to oust the president, no matter how serious the charges, if that meant handing the Oval Office to the opposition party.

4"stiletto black heels (Also commonly referred to as "CFM's) and a very tight, very sheer, tailored, snug fitting blouse and it appeared that it was either very cold in the room or that she wasn't wearing a bra......

From what I've gathered the M$M took the "official" transcript platitude as verbatim this morning and since there's no mention of Pence, he's off the hook, while Barr is.

Which is strange because Barr has no idea how he got thrown into the mix of being asked to make calls, that was Pence making calls on behalf of MF45.

He's the one who met and spoke repeatedly with Zelensky from April through at least September 18th, 2019.

Yet, and yet, no mention of Pence's interactions on behalf of 45 with Zelensky in the "official" transcript.

Hmmm.

I have been saying for over a year, that psychologically Trump's narcissism won't let him go out without an "I'll show you" big bang, pardon the pun.......

He will not only be thrown out of the Presidency, a TON of criminal charges are awaiting him and the obliteration of his self proclaimed financial empire. He faces complete and thorough oblivion, time in prison and financial ruin........he has the ability to react in ways we don't want to even think about.

Be specific, not camp cupcake with all the other white rich clowns who have done criminal things.

Harshest women's prison in the nation in general population, better yet the best would be super-max where he has no contact with anyone inside or outside the prison for life. The penalty for treason is death, but most think that super-max for life is far worse. McVeigh after a few months in Colorado's super max decided he wanted the death penalty and they obliged him.

As much as we would all love to see Trump locked up for the rest of his natural born life in Gitmo does anyone realistically believe he won't receive a pardon and allowed to keep on as a private citizen running his trap non-stop telling the world and his minions it was a frame job? As much as I'd like to live in this perfect world I don't live in Utopia. I still live in (choke) South Carolina. Perfect is not really an option.
