3. Republicans wanted nothing to do with investigating Trump

They slow-walked this thing and lobbed hand grenades and shuffled papers, but it was obvious there was only political will, not patriotism, that fueled their passions.

They probably figured it would come to this anyway.

Some of them may be complicit in Kremlingate. Others of them probably knew that and didn't dare move against their "family".

Well, the game is over and a grown up is in charge.

Let the chips fall where they may.

4. The House certainly didn't. "The Family," as Paul Ryan called themselves. But the Senate...

The head of the Senate Intel committee seemed to have a good working relationship with Warner (Dem.), and I thought they might actually do an investigation...up to a point. The did have the Yates and Clapper hearing, which was enlightening. But because so many corrupt things went on among the Republicans, I didn't trust them.

Even Lindsay Graham, who started out seeming to be non-partisan, started saving Trump's back, by implying it was normal for Trump to fire the FBI Director who was conducting an investigation that would possibly be against Trump...no problem. In the end, I didn't trust Graham, either. I mean, if he doesn't even acknowledge that historic nature of Trump firing the FBI Director, and the implication that it was because Comey wouldn't do Trump's bidding, and accepting that it was because of the October Surprise? That's just ludicrous.
