I doubt it since he is in the Senate. It would be the senate's job, but they are not going to do it vsrazdem Apr 2019 #10

His back channeling make sense. He was covering his own ass.

The head of the world mafia is named Semion Moglovich. He's a great guy, you should look him up.

Playing by the rules doesn't get us anywhere, does it? All that talk about faith in the Senate Committee doing their job and here was Burr playing just like Nunes. Is there any honest Republican? Just one?

Impeachment is useless. None of these Republicans will go along, even if tRump shoots someone on 5th Avenue.

Where a lot of senators can be openly implicated in taking the dirty Russian mob state NRA money, conviction will be a lot more likely.
Trump isn't shit politically and they KNOW it. They'll BUY a bigger bus to throw him under, if it means saving their own asses.

that knockdown by Schiff the other week was the first time I can remember a member of Congress confronting another member of Congress. It just isn't done. It's usually done in the 3rd person where they act like they are talking about someone else.

confidential. But since he's the chair and Repubs are in chart, that is not going to happen. They should at least rake him over the coals in public for this. Barr is just as bad as Nunes, if not worse.

He will be easily re-elected being he is from the criminal election state of North Carolina. We "proudly" elected him, Tillis and Meadows. All heads firmly up trump's huuuuge BIGLY ass. The day before the election a Russian passenger plane landed near Charlotte and was completely shssssed from the press. Meeting with top GOP operatives. This state has been designated by the ALCU as completely NOT a democracy. The tyrannical GUVment the knuckle draggers are so afraid of and armed to take out, is their very own. Maybe we should encourage that armiment. When they realize the penis is up their arses, it could get interesting.
