They were too worried about protecting "vulnerable" Senate Republicans. I still have faith in Cocaine Mitch.

This is setting such a dangerous precedent for the future.

I have a good deal of confidence in him but he needs 51 votes.  Romney Collins mccowski and Alexander have a little rino caucus that could push this to testimony.  

I hope we dont fold but we always have.  Comey leaks two sentences of a memo, we agree to special counsel.  Blasey Ford lies on television, supplemental fbi inquiry.  Whistleblower lies about a phone call, we impeach the +/$=king president despite an exculpatory transcript.  Now we have tapes leaking from 2 years ago about a president criticizing an ambassador he has every right to fire and Boltons book being leaked.  I have no faith in the ffg lake wing if the party to hold their water.
