Thanks, guillaumeb!

We need to continue building momentum.

Right now, per CNN, we’re at 51%.

People know that Trump is a liar, and that the GOP is covering for him.

He is dangerous, however. But he knows full well that Trump is a menace and that he did everything in the impeachment report - and MORE! So he knows that if a full reporting - PLUS witnesses and documents - is released to the public, his sham trial will fail and even if The Orange One isn't removed from office with 67 votes, if ANY Republicans vote yes, he has a problem.

9. Democracy truly hangs in the balance.

If Mitch runs a sham trial to conclusion, the Guardians Of Putin get eaten up in November.

Public pressure is making the Soviet show trial less likely.

All his cover up for traitor Trump can do is buy time.

What the publicity of a sham trial can do is prevent cheating at the ballot box.

The Democratic leadership may be holding the cards to prevent the fascist gangsters from succeeding.

...Giuliani, Sondland. “They all were in the loop.”

And they tie through Parnas to Firtash (and the oligarch’s money) and to Putin. This is what I hope the Managers make clear to the public.

Perhaps if they have to simplify there could be one super-sized RICO trial. Then stuff the whole guilty hoard onto a bus to Leavenworth.

Moscow Mitch was either in the room or close by when the Trump people/Manafort changed the
2016 RNC platform to make it more Putin/Ukrainian thug friendly .... he knew the fix was in.

Moscow Mitch was told by the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI that Russia was trying to rig our elections
in the late summer of 2016 and he kept that information from the public ... he knew the fix was in.

and along with it, his power.

It's more important than ever to call your senator's office and tell them a sham trial cover up is unacceptable and he or she will face electoral consequences for going along with McConnell.
