I think I speak for many of us here when I say

[SHRED]

The wheels of justice are rolling way too slow in tRump's case.

I know SDNY and Mueller need to be thorough and we have had 2 years of Republican stonewalling. I know all that but my emotions scream inside..."hurry up".

[jcgoldie]

1. I agree

Its hard to fathom how anyone can meticulously follow the recipe when the oven's on fire.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. With the news getting worse every single day, I can't believe this is still going on

I've felt that way since the campaign.

[vlyons]

3. Yes, our patience is being tried

Patience is a virtue

4. I just wrote the same thing on a different thread.

My whole life I have read the last chapter of a book first and I WANT to know how a movie ends from the beginning. Maybe that is why I liked Columbo...he always told you who did the crime at the beginning. I welcome "spoilers". I am not going to live more than a few more years (no big deal for me really) but what DOES bother me is dying before I find out how this turns out for the country. I must know!!! It is so frustrating.

[MLAA]

10. The next few chapters should be really good

Ivanka, Jared, Jr....Stone cutting a plea and getting sentenced. Flynn getting sentenced and then we get to see unredacted docs about everything he did. I’m betting it all gets wrapped up including impotus being indicted well before 2020 election.

16. I hope you are correct.

Everyday I wake up hoping that "today will be IT".

21. You have no idea how many

Of my friends say the same thing. They really want to live long enough to see the day.

So many of us lived through the years of greatness and to see how low one of our political parties has fallen. Watching that sleazy performance Wed. by Republicans, led by the likes of Jordan and Meadows really topped it off. Not there to defend Trump, but simply to malign the on who has finally decided to speak. So pathetic.

I thought Nixon was bad, but he and his band of crooks do not hold a candle to the mob we now have.

But,this too shall pass!

5. Getting rid of D.Trump is not going to change the problems that progressive Democrats face.

The RW voice machine is loud and highly funded. We have to gain control of the Senate before we can make significant change.

[slumcamper]

6. Yeah...When is enough, enough?

I suspect our House leadership wants checkmate, where the evidence is SO damning that Senate Repugs have no move other than to vote to impeach. But this has to happen soon, as the other side is trying to run the clock out.

[Blue Owl]

7. Yep!

ITMFA!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

8. ditto

9. Yes

I am more than very weary of it all. This is not over yet by any means. I have no clue what the outcome will be. I have been ready for it to end since election night. If any kind of normalcy is restored it still won’t reverse the damage done and the time lost to this nightmare.

11. This thing is huge with tentacles. I'm good.

[hibbing]

12. Not to be a party pooper, but lower your expectations

I was young during Nixon, but i was fully engaged with the criminal administration of Reagan. Then Bush and the war in Iraq. Today Elliot Abrams is a special envoy to Venezuela. Condi is or was a provost for Stanford, I could list many more. I dearly hope I am wrong, but I have predicted since the election that he will serve his four years.


Peace

13. We can all thank traitorous republican gangsters for that...

pass it on......

[SHRED]

15. Amen

[BadgerMom]

14. Me too.

17. They are - but the delay may end up being fortuitous

The closer to the election all this drags out, the more impact it's likely to have on Cheeto's re-election chances.

You'll recall that this was exactly what motivated Dowdy Doody and the rest of the GOPee to drag out the Hillary hearings.

[samplegirl]

18. I can hardly

stomach the look of trump on tv. I have to look away from those lying lips of his before I throw something at my tv!!! Because you know everything rolling off his lips is a lie.

[Poiuyt]

19. I doubt anything will happen before 2020

Mueller may give his report, but I'm starting to think there won't be anything substantial in it (Fitzmas?). The Democrats in the House will sound tough, but I doubt they'll initiate an impeachment trial. I don't think we'll find out the extent of Trump's crimes until well after he leaves office.

The hearing and investigations are still important so that historians can piece together the real story of Trump and his crime family. I want to be sure that future generations know how corrupt the Trump administration has been.

Yes, I'm pessimistic, but we've all seen too many times that there is a different set of rules for the rich and powerful.

[ffr]

20. By the same token, tRump isn't doing the GOP any favors with his unpopular stances

He continues to drag them down. He does deserve to be impeached and jailed, along with about 50 million republicans who cast votes for him. But there's a bright side to having such a boat anchor of the other party in the WH. The house can somewhat keep him in check and the constant spectacle of GOP criminality being exposed weekly just keeps the public aware of what crooks republicans are.

Which means that come 2020, we might be able to run the tables and swing all branches of government back to the responsible adult side of the table.

22. I agree, but something to remember

As so often has happened on DU over the years, news comes out and we say 'we knew that already'. We've known most of this for a long time, right?

What we have to remember is that most people don't know most of what we know.

These hearings, these stories dripping out slowly, are about the education of the broader American public. It's frustrating to us, and scary to wait, but it's necessary and important to the eventual outcome of this travesty that the public understands what has happened here.

I know I'm a starry optimist, but I still believe that the truth will out and justice will win in the end.

Patience my friends...

[nolabear]

23. I hope it means they're leaving no stone unturned.

This stuff is complicated. And that's an understatement. Things have to be tracked down, vetted, all the tendrils tracked down, clearances have to be gotten-I imagine against a military grade stalling in some cases-people have to get paid, contracts have to be drawn up, lawyers consulted, and on and on and on.

It's terrible we have to endure a level of destruction that's damn near intolerable while it's going on and it's terrible/wonderful Mueller is playing this close to his kevlar vest, but if that's wat it takes I'll serve my country by coping how I can.
