Also one of their sharpest legal minds. He wouldn't touch this without a reason.

We need a lot of ammo, i.e., tons of certifiable, bullet-proof evidence to proceed. To shoot and miss will be fatal to our cause.

It si not so much alleging wrong doing, it is alleging there is enough indication to collect evidence of wrong doing.

If the Republicans will not allow this investigation, then they are in collusion with Trump and his cohorts.

I don't expect this to go anywhere, but at least someone is trying. It's not like it's partisan...there is real concern here.

They will protect Trump until the views cows home.

I'm not getting my hopes up.
