For Donald Trump and his criminal cohorts on Monday?
Will they mostly be silent? Will most of the screaming come from the Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz types in the Congress and Senate?
Can Donald Trump still rally "his people" to support him against the criminal referrals? Will he just call it another "witch hunt"?
Or will he be like the little boy that cried wolf and nobody came?

It has always been the the DOJ to bring charges against trump, and they dont need a referral from Congress

He's already toast, so, when doj is done with him, his magats will already be claiming they never liked him. Public events do have an impact, as much as they claim they're immune to reality. They're not.

The GOP House sent criminal referrals re: Comey and McCabe... even Eric Holder.
Just wait until the GOP House sends referrals for Joe and Hunter... Fauci and Lord know who else.
