MORE >> Another source says the sighs & gasps were in reaction to Taylor describing “how pervasive the efforts were to tie an investigation of Burisma and 2016 election ‘interference’ to a White House meeting and aid being released.”

Strike up the band and let the frog marching begin. Evidence of Trump's crimes are all over the place. The Trumpers need to decide if they're ready to lose everything for this awful crook.

...a clear, concise, well laid-out case for impeachment, resolving the concerns of having to explain the 400 page-plus Mueller report to the public in a way that they "get it" and support impeachment.

Then, after it passes the House, the Senate will have the option of cementing their legacy by either ruling to remove Trump from office, or giving him a pass.

We'll see, but they will need to ignore the facts and say "facts don't matter" in order to get away with option 2.
