1. If We Know That There Will Be Pardons Then Why Are We Going Through These Gyrations....

with Senate and House Committee's and Mueller? Why are they spending all this time and taxpayers money only to have whatever indictments, charges at the end of this - be overturned by pardons.

Why don't they just go to Trump and say you need to step down now and if you do we'll excuse any of your team. Just get the hell out of the way.

If we're talking pardons - that will be the result of this anyway.

I know I want to see how pervasive their collusion and illegalities was/is. I'd like to see how far it reaches up the Repug Party and their part in this. I'd like to see Pence be taken out - because you got to know that he knew what was going on.

But bottom line - every day that this drags on it hurts the U.S. and our democracy and our standing on the world stage.

I want to see these traitors be taken out and pay for their crimes and it just irks the hell out of me - that even before the real facts are even discovered - that we're talking pardons.

I myself - go through all sorts of gyrations when I'm pulled over by a cop for speeding or even a parking ticket. But I look at the likes of the Trump's, Kushner's, Manafort's, Flynn's, etc - seem to take on all this very lightly - cause in the end they know that they won't have to pay for their crimes and that they will be absolved for them through pardons.

Not fair. Double standard. These people should be held more accountable than any American that gets involved in a crime - because the American People put their trust in these people to go to work for us = and they just take advantage of the situation to enrich themselves - knowing that they won't experience any consequences of their actions.
