my absolute FAVORITE Senator for sure. Good looking, droll as hell, and I love the smirk and he sure knows just when a smirk is in order.

but when he speaks while looking over his glasses he reminds me of Gregory Peck.

I am still trying to figure out what he said. Did he say that Garland and the current DOJ haven't definitely decide whether or not tRump can be be held for Obstruction Of Justice as an ex POTUS?

to appeal the release of the barr memo..would be a great OP..for me, I believe Garland and the current DOJ are reviewing the Mueller report and there could very well be involvement in an ongoing investigation..so why publish the barr memo..they may be using it in their investigation..I dunno..

The OLC, from what I understand said, a Sitting president couldn't be held for obstruction..the "former" prez..here is hoping, CAN be held for Obstruction..We all know barr lied about the Mueller report...

Being from Florida, it's been a very long time since I've felt good about any elected official here. DeSantis, Rubio, Scott and Cammack: a rogues gallery of stupidity, corruption and dishonesty.

and Senator Jack Reed. Love Sheldon, that's what I call him. He does not miss a thing, thorough and does his homework. Love his smirk. He seems like a quiet but a get it done person.

with research and fact..for me he looks like John Larroquette...

He did suggest, even though he doesn't agree with the Garland and current DOJ decision to appeal the barr memo..there may be an ongoing investigation..that perhaps the barr memo is part of it..I dunno..
