2. I disagree that all topics will take years in court

Some cases can be expedited. We've already seen numerous injunctions preventing White House actions.

And law breakers are subject to punishment for years to come, so they can't escape.

4. Nope. Just because tRump and Barr act like it's true doesn't mean it is.

The Ds are doing exactly what they should be doing. It will all come out, and sooner than tRump ever imagined it would.

Can't believe so many DUers buy the spin coming from the RW.

5. Congressional Republicans BETRAYED their duty

and their nation. Spanone, if anyone neutered these traitors it was their donors, but they spread their legs willingly for it. Many were pushed out or left congress rather than agree to serve the donor classes instead of the electorate, and now only sellouts remain.

They protect Trump to protect their own power, and they currently plot to grow and consolidate that power by continuing to protect Trump until they can get control of the supreme and most important appellate courts. They would dump Trump in a heartbeat if keeping him in office threatened their power. But not before.

Btw, let's remember that as of January 3 the house of representatives is NOT controlled by Trump, it is controlled by Democrats. Unfortunately, the electorate gave Republicans greater control of the senate, instead of taking it away. Otherwise, impeachment and removal would be well underway by now.

... and let the chips fall where they may.

Dems get back a LOT of power when there's an impeachment process afoot.

Once we retake control in 2020 we should use the first year to fix things quickly and then pass legislation to reduce the power of the White House and restore Congress's authority
