"Stop These Hearings"

[Peaceful Protester]

"For Democrats to make hay on this issue, they need to hold tight to that word, independent, as well."

"They need to stop these hearings with 30 different knuckle-head congressmen asking their uninformed questions. They need to hire a, as they did in Watergate, professional prosecutor, and they need to make this story, Fareed, the American Constitution and its values, against Donald Trump."

"If they go overboard on this, and make it the Democratic Party against Donald Trump, not the independent Constitution represented by a professional lawyer, they'll be making a huge mistake. So Democrats need to hug independence and Trump needs to fear it."

1. No such animal

The repubs will claim partisanship no matter who you select. Mueller was a republican, and look how Trump treated him.

4. When they raise the issue of "partisanship" we should play Lindsay Graham's tapes from the...

...Clinton impeachment along side his modern day rhetoric on the impeachment of an open traitor to his country.

We should do it during the Senate trial, play it on TV. Then we can ask him whether his views on addressing and defending a traitor are partisan or even remotely honest.

He is obviously a man of no principles, and we need to hammer him and his similar colleagues on precisely this fact.

This may play even in South Carolina.

2. I agree. If for no other reason, the questions would be more cohesive

and would be more likely to follow through on a line of questioning to reach a conclusion. The scattershot method is less effective.

3. Friedman is, and always has been, an ass, a knucklehead in his own right. n/t.

5. I'm sure it will become clear in 4 to 6 months, Tom

Plenty of time to hitch up the ol'goalposts and start rolling.
