And they can continue to lie, but after what we've seen - so far - there is no way that those lies will hold up.

The fact tha Jared and ivanka freely spoke leads me to believe they have one of those pocket pardons (I think that’s what they are called). I am sure trump wrote himself one as well. Whether that one is valid? Who knows. We’ve never had a president give one to himself before.

See? That’s how it works in the cult world. In the real world it’s called a scam.

It’s all going to be out there. I thought I heard Raskin say anything they couldn’t get into the hearings, they would somehow make public for people to analyze.

And though we know that the Committee has no legal powers, they were specifically aiming what they presented at DOJ. And you're right, there's a whole lot more...
