Until a few weeks ago, he was constantly slamming Pelosi and the Democrats for not impeaching quickly enough, while giving a complete pass to his former fellow party Members. It was frustrating.

Fortunately, he seems to have gotten off of the "What the Democrats need to do" kick and and is aiming his foot at the appropriate target.

I don't fault him for that, or for pushing the only party that is willing to do the right thing.

Knowing they're not going to do anything isn't an excuse for letting them off the hook while spending day after day attacking Democrats for not doing enough - especially when the reason the Democrats need to do anything is that the Republicans are behaving so badly.

He gave them a complete pass for too long. Glad he's now going after them.

He has been ripping Rs since she started bringing him on.

I got where he was coming at with the NP criticism, as a republican he knows how you drive public opinion instead of waiting for it.

I hope that gets linked and played everywhere. Bookmark it, pull it back out, link and play it again in a month. A year. Every year until things aren't quite so grim.

Sounds fairly dangerous to me. But hey, what do I know? I'm sure that in a free country, one has an inalienable right to be a lying, criminal, cowardly thug. AND do it in public office.
