He then starts complaining about Republican hypocrisy due to their silence of 45 asking Comey if he's being investigated by comparing it to the Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting last year that had Republicans up in arms. He finishes by pretty much stating the Republicans need to decide what they want to do or else Nancy Pelosi will be the next Speaker of the House because the 2018 poll numbers for Republicans are simply brutal right now.

Couldn't get a word in edgewise with him. And then he'd literally look at the camera and say "can somebody just shut her up" whenever a Democratic woman - particularly an African-American - would make a point on Gore's behalf.

Goes to show people can and do change.

With GOP figures, it's generally best to keep a cynical eye. I am glad, though, he's calling out King Con and all the illegalities.

he expects long term GOP losses, and advises the GOP Congress to
decide soon "how to end this". Incredible.

Severe election fraud and disenfranchisement is the only GOP hope
at this juncture, not that it can't happen as plans do exist obviously

But so many sources, I would call them the mainstream moderate intelligentsia
of both parties are publicly clamoring for the Trump presidency to end, and end
quickly. The GOP may be trying to minimize the damage ... if they don't boot
the idiot soon the damage will grow like a cancer on the whole party, especially
if the RICO case has legs or election hacking can be proven.

America's freedom and assets are being stolen, this must be stopped soon or
it will be too late.

Obama must have suspected a lot of this, he seems to have enabled IC well
