The press needs to put pressure on the Republicans in the Senate.

They are the guardians of our democracy and they need to corner these Republicans and find out exactly what they are thinking?

Are they aware of the crisis we are entering?

Are they content to remain silent?

How far are they willing to go to protect our nation?

How far are they willing to go to protect a threat to our national security.

It is a lot to ask from the press, but they need to put heat on the Republicans. They have divorced themselves from the entirety of our government, it seems?

They cannot escape responsibility.

I also think it's why the media doesn't even bother to ask, though it would be helpful if they would.

need to start calling out their R brethern in public and privately, too. Today on Deadline WH, all I heard were Jolly and Elise Jordan complaining that Dems aren't doing enough or embracing impeachment strongly. They change their registration to I, but never implore their own R compadres to join with Dems to boot Trump. They want Dems to do the work to remove Trump so they can get a less repugnant R in office and feel free to rejoin the GOP.

I just wish the hearing and investigations would commence and get the redacted version of the Mueller report for all to see and then drop it on Mitch McConnell and then see what would happen to the repigs. The repigs are as lawless as this POS.
