1. Don't buy it.

They have too much to lose. Then again if they have Pence all lined up..

[BannonsLiver]

3. My question

Is if Lyin Ryan and Turtle McConnell are keeping trump around so they can get a couple of things done legislatively why couldn't Pence deliver that himself? And with potentially fewer distractions. I think Pence is crazy but he's a more disciplined pol than Drumpf is ever capable of being.

4. Pence would be part of that investigation, but that means Ryan is lined up, and that should NOT

bring comfort to anyone.

The best we can hope for is an independent investigation, it drags on until 2018, and we take back Congress

very long shot that if there was an investigation and impeachment, it could drag out until 2018

6. He too is implicated with washing Russian money through

Super PACs

5. Another R will replace Trump and pass all

their shitty bills. It will hurt them in the special elections, though.

10. IF There is "There" There. . .

. . .they risk everything by doing nothing come 2018, no?

2. "I think we'll pick...NOTHING, Johnny!"

7. I am hoping for a long, grueling investigation.

A shitload of indictments, impeachment and conviction in the Senate and the end of Republican Party in 2018.


Don't resign, Dump!

[gratuitous]

8. I will believe that when I see it

Color me skeptical that congressional Republicans are thinking of doing anything. The only thing their leadership has talked about lately is how much all this drama is getting in the way of cutting taxes for their overrich pals.

9. Do IT!

[TrishaJ]

11. We need a PROSECUTOR, not an

independent commission. I fear whitewash and cover up from an "independent" commission.

[Mr. Ected]

12. Every daily revelation about Trump's criminal acts and negligence

Only brings more disfavor to the Republican Party. They will not be able to engage their agenda in this environment. By the time they decide to act, it'll be too late.

2018 will be a veritable turning point for the Democratic Party.

13. If they had to choose, the cowards would go for a useless "Commission"

that would spend a year occasionally meeting and most likely focusing on "leaks", concluding with some written toothless report that basically says nothing we don't already know, with no means to enforce any changes.
