These House investigation hearings are incredible to watch.

Truly amazing to me the number of white people who are willing to help Trump obstruct justice. Yes, I call it a white person problem because Trump was very careful to hand pick people he thought he could depend on to provide him with loyalty that would help people divorce themselves from their public responsibility duties. And most of his Administration is white.

They are loyal to the president, not to the country.

Keep in mind that most of Trump's "African Americans" are now on the outs with the president. Seems to me that people who disagree with the president would denounce him. Not many who have been called to the House for interrogation have taken that approach.

Republican House member Collins (Georgia) is throwing up every hurdle to block public airing and Dems are fighting back. Even though Lowandowski never worked as a government employee or for the White House EVER, the White House is arguing they can stop what he has to say by declaring Executive Priviledge. The White House attorney is physically sitting behind Lowandowski (!) just to remind him. L says he did not ask the White House to do this.

When these crooks get their hand caught in the cookie jar (cookie jar meaning stealing an election using a foreign enemy's resources, and obstruct justice (a federal investigation of that alleged "crime&quot -- they get SO indignant and self righteous. Thank goodness the DEMS have the majority on this Committee because the Rs are trying every procedural trick to get this airing shut down. They just tried to get the committee adjourned for the Chair talking too long...

Dont' think your vote is NOT important! Our Democracy has never been so under attack.

The Republicans picked a handful of their worst pearl clutchers and paraded them out endlessly. It was truly vomitose!
