Dems Draw a Line

(Sen.) Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We must make clear to POTUS that pardons of himself or associates would be unacceptable & result in immediate, bipartisan action by Congress

.@realDonaldTrump must not, under any circumstances, interfere with the special counsel’s work in any way.

Chuck Schumer‏ @SenSchumer 3h3 hours ago
The special counsel’s probe is ongoing in a serious way. The rule of law is paramount in America & the investigation must proceed unimpeded.

But I'm guessing that he's saying that because it's the strongest statement he could make (bluffing?)

just listening to Bon Jovi - "Shot Through The Heart"

Would you be content to see me crying
After all those little games you put me through
After all I've done for you you're lying
Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth

Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're gonna take a fall
I gave you everything
Now here's the curtain call

a Democrat taking a tough, "on-record" stand regarding the proper procedure to be followed, including a call for "bipartisan" cooperation.
It is now on record - and when the "Pugs" opt to fail to comply - let the record show that "we were there - you missed the boat!"
