Name names. Explain how they communicated. All or nothing.

there's a small chance he might be forced to resign, but i don't see a prosecution regardless.
What about all those "Obama holdovers" and "the shadow government" we have!
Couldn't "we" prosecute Sessions?

(52,267 posts)7. why bother? republicans would find a way to foil their efforts.
taint the prosecution, grant immunity to too many people, etc.

in this deepest Red State, we just locked up the Republican Speaker, kicked the Jesus-anointed Chief Justice off the court, and are still considering impeaching the Republican governor for sex!
This in a super-majority Republican government!
The pendulum swings!
