Constitutional Law professor & former Reagan official on, Charles Fried, and he sounds scared and angry. He called that thing currently infesting the White House "a thug" and said we are nearing a Constitutional Crisis and will be in one if they keep stonewalling the House. I've really never seen someone so disgusted. It's remarkable. He was an author of a press release with several other conservative and Libertarian lawyers calling for "an expeditious impeachment investigation." It's the last segment of his show and it's extraordinary. I wish I could post it but I only saw it on television.
Here's a short blurb about him from Wikipedia:
Fried is the author of nine books and over 30 journal articles, and his work has appeared in over a dozen collections.

(1,910 posts)Trump needs to be so foul and repugnant that the Senate will have no choice but to convict.
He's not quite done...but he's getting there. Drip Drip.
