Republicans are standing down.

Looks like the debate is now between an independent counsel or an independent commission.

They're done defending after the Comey memos went mainstream.

They saw the fire and cowered.

We're on the brink.

I hope the stink sticks to the Republicans for at least a generation. But I know better. Like vampires you can't completely kill them.

lay you odds what they will try to do is rig it so the House votes to convict but the Senate falls just short of the needed votes.
They will then try to play the innocent and proclaim "Well we gave it a shot but now its time to move on because thats whats best for the country" or something along those lines with the goal of appeasing the ones who want to keep Trump no matter what and those who are on the fence over it.

Let those investigating tell us when the time is right.
I've said it before: I'd hate to have this turn into an OJ "the glove doesn't fit" situation.
Maybe there's still a missing piece of the puzzle that needs to be found, so we can jail the jackass.
I don't trust the GOP. If they want to hurry the process up, that means we need to take a deeper look.

The Party of Russia is very close to the edge.

Let's help push them over and begin to take back our country.
