Dems "clamoring" for Jared the K to lose his security clearance (yay!)

Check in as you see our people speaking up. They are doing it all the time, rumors to the contrary be damned.

2. You got the ones I remember, but I will be sure to add on, as our Democratic leadership continues

speaking out.

[Hekate]

30. Thank you!

I am so fed up with the whinefest from a relatively small group. I never did get a reply on the thread I sorta hijacked regarding what exactly counts as speaking out and what an acceptable method of doing so would look like.

[pirateshipdude]

32. No, you did not get an answer. Further, I was watching Trevor today.

He was talking about Trump Jr email and proceeded to state, like so many people are asking, where are the Democrats. So, THAT made it into media.

3. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday that a chain of email correspondence released by Trump Jr. earlier in the day mark “the end of the idea pushed by the administration and the president that there is absolutely no evidence of intent to coordinate or collude.”

During a press conference on Tuesday, Schumer called on Trump Jr. “and other campaign associates to turn over any and all documents, and electronic communications that investigators ask for.” He added, “we need public testimony under oath of Donald Trump Jr. who has changed his story repeatedly.”

Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, on Tuesday tweeted an email chain from June 2016 in which he entertained accepting damaging information from a "Russian government attorney" about Hillary Clinton as part of the Kremlin's support for his father's campaign.
