Pinback's JournalLet's not forget that Trump has committed many crimes.
He is still extremely vulnerable for multiple felonies and potentially for other treasonous actions. Even if Leopold got Rathered, even if it’s never proven that Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress, there’s plenty more to pin on him, and plenty more that is worthy of impeachment.
I know a lot of us are in a Fitzmas mood tonight, but I think there is still plenty to be optimistic about. We need to keep pressuring our Senators, especially those of us “represented” by Republican Senators, to do something about Trump’s many high crimes and misdemeanors. And don’t forget the State of New York charges that will be hung around his flabby orange neck.
Take heart, everyone, and take a deep breath. Have a nice weekend, and let’s focus on honoring Dr. King Monday. The fight resumes next week.

"And I feel a little remorseful, because our elected officials, who we trust to take care of business, (are) not taking care of business. And they put the suffering on the people who are working to make sure that the mission that we have is carried out."
Timmons said he's doing OK for now, thanks to his status as retired military. But the partial government shutdown -- now in its 28th day as President Donald Trump and Congress remain at an impasse over a border wall -- is hard on many of his colleagues who struggling without a paycheck.
