I used those 2 questions on my coworker yesterday. The result was quite humorous. The evasive response, whataboutism, ending of course with Obama paying for the Steele dossier.

Can't wait to use it on others.

If I understand it properly that would then open up their seat for a special election - and although another reub might win it - they would not have had enough time to be steeped in all the nasty and might do their actual job?!?!...

Thanks for showing what this is all really about. All of the focus on "quid pro quo" makes me crazy. This is NOT an element of the crime. Even democrats are acting like this was the sine quo non of the offense, giving it much more importance than necessary. Dems must stop letting the rethugs frame the issue!

Are there enough ethical, honorable, patriotic Republicans in the Senate to make for a fair impeachment trial, assuming we have one, with a verdict based on the facts instead of partisan political ideology?

The answer to that is...
TBD
