1. When was this? Today?

[Donkees]

10. That was from a Feb 15th speech concerning independent inquiry demand about Trump/Russia

[Donkees]

14. Video:

[Stuart G]

11. Could not find a recent record of this...could be 5 days old..

I believe that Donkees, in post above is correct..this is not new, (we came to same conclusion at same time)..
I also spent some time looking for it ..not new

[BigBearJohn]

34. I got it off the front page of Huffington Post today

[Botany]

2. Be very very quiet Chuck is hunting Trumps

[PearliePoo2]

3. Wow...the look on all their faces says it all, doesn't it?

OK, McConnell, whatcha gonna do to shut all this down?

[Hekate]

30. The man on the other side of Schumer looks like he's going to his mother's funeral

Good statement from Schumer. Godspeed.

[PearliePoo2]

33. That's Senator Warner, the ranking (D) member on the Intelligence committee.

And yes, this may be like a funeral. One possibly for our nation.
On donkees video (above^) it isn't as clear as the HUFFPOST video, but Sen. Feinstein is actually tearing up. At 1:09 in, she wipes a tear away from her left eye.

[Hekate]

35. Thanks for IDing Warner. Don't know why I didn't recognize him.

Yeah, it feels like a deathbed for someone beloved. They're in the ICU, and we don't know from day to day if they will recover.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Coup is happening, and we better fucking do something about it and now

[MyMission]

5. Bless Senator Schumer

He is working for the people of this country, when he's supposed to be on break.

Thanks for sharing the video.Time to make calls and write letters/emails to support these investigations.

Note: I was born and raised in NY, don't live there now. I called Sen Schumer's office several weeks ago to say thank you and bless you and keep up the fight. I got a live person, not a recording, and left my message. Was asked for my zip, and gave the one where I grew up (and still have family).

[PearliePoo2]

6. How serious is this? Senator Feinstein has tears in her eyes!

Holy fuck. I have tears too. God help this planet.

[democrank]

7. Democrats must keep this up, keep hammering away at Trump and his enablers.

Sooner or later this will come to a boiling point, and Republicans will get to choose between party and country in front of all of us.

[bathroommonkey76]

8. Will Trump be the first US President thrown in prison?

Sure sounds possible to me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. An unnamed member of the Intell Community said tRump would die in prison.

Was part of a story a few days ago.

[NewJeffCT]

18. we can only hope

and hope that he doesn't do too much damage before

[bathroommonkey76]

19. I bet there's a plan in place if he goes off the rails. nt

[monmouth4]

9. I was skeptical at first of Schumer but am quite pleased with with his work so far..n/t

[SharonAnn]

12. Date appears to be Feb 15, 2017 (link says 2017-02/15)

[vkkv]

15. Forbidden link - What is the content so we can Google it?

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. Here it is

https://www.c-span.org/video/?424097-1/senate-democrats-react-reports-contacts-trump-presidential-campaign-russians#

[barbtries]

24. got it - thank you!

[vlyons]

16. Trump's house of cards will all fall down

Once more info, more testimony before Congress, more documents, more recordings become public, it won't just be impeachment for Trump. His whole empire might very well collapse. Prosecutors and will feel emboldened to prosecute for fraud. Investors will feel emboldened to sue for restitution. His children might very well get caught up in his filthy criminal swamp as well. The brand will be ruined forever. Assets might have to be sold, etc.

There will be no wall.

[LittleGirl]

20. From your lips...eom

[Hekate]

31. From your keyboard to the Goddess's eyes. nt

[lark]

21. I'd love to see this but it won't open on my computer at work.

I'll try again when I get home and hopefully can see this for myself.

[barbtries]

23. i can't watch it at home

403 forbidden

[Honeycombe8]

25. Same here. I used the altenate link in a later post.nt

[drm604]

22. Unfortunately, I don't think that Sessions will recuse himself.

It seems like the courts are the only branch that's still functioning independently. Is there some way that they can act on this? And what happens if Gorsuch is appointed to the SCOTUS?

What about the states? Have any crimes been committed that they have jurisdiction over?

[Stellar]

26. Why can't I see this video?!! It says Forbidden

403 - Forbidden

[klook]

28. See post #17 for C-Span link.(nt)

[Stellar]

29. Thanks! nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Sweet.

Good to see that the dems are finally finding their spines.

[McCamy Taylor]

32. The abridged version of that excellent speech. "Special prosecutor."

I wish it could be Elliot Spitzer. It must be someone who is so clean he squeaks. No blackmail potential at all. No secret vices. Preferably a retired judge with snow white hair, male or female.

[Hekate]

36. Absolutely, and we know they exist.
