Castor complained about investigation going too fast.

The problem with that argument is 1) the Mueller Report nearly 2 years of data, 2) Trump tweets for over 3 years, 3) Trump talking. All that along with the current Democratic investigation.

2. So, what's the Goldilocks speed, Mr. Castor?

Too fast, too slow, but we don't know what's just right. Is that something that can be figured out only in retrospect, like talking about the need for sensible firearm regulation, which is always too soon or too late after yet another mass shooting?

4. The woman who followed brought up the length of time for the Clinton impeachment

I think she said it took 93 days. Currently we are at 96 days for Trump's impeachment investigation.

She was very effective in an understated way.

6. It was 73 days for Clinton - that's why she brought up the day 76 for this investigation

(it was Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) who was a House Judiciary Committee staffer during Watergate and was on the same Committee as an elected congresswoman during the Clinton impeachment)

So did not take notes on the exact numbers.

I WILL have to remember this - it shows that the Trump claims of rushing this investigation are ridiculous.

Thanks!

I have been trying to keep a couple threads straight and hope I don't screw it up.

And yup - it blows that talking point out of the water!
