I don't think it's time yet to sit back and enjoy the proceedings...

because I don't think we are going to like them very much.

Sure all kinds of traitorous criminality is coming out and everyone seems to assume that once it's out in the open there will be a serious investigation and prosecutions.

But the Republican Congress is the only entity with ability to prosecute presidential crimes and they've demonstrated time and time again that any criminality to do with Trump and his cohorts is to be papered over. There will be no prosecution of Republicans during this Congress no matter how egregious the crimes. Sure it's bigger than Watergate but that makes no difference when Congress itself is complicit.

I kind of agree with the Rogue POTUS Staff tweets which reportedly come from inside the White House:

Comey's intel hearing:

Rogue POTUS Staff? @RoguePOTUSStaff Mar 20
We have warned time & again that against falling for smoke and mirrors. POTUS IS WINNING, but all most can see is their own partisan biases.

Rogue POTUS Staff? @RoguePOTUSStaff Mar 20
"Investigating" doesn't mean anything is happening, or will come of it. Forces are bigger than you know. You're being placated.

Nunes' reports surveillance to media and Trump instead of to Intel Committee

Rogue POTUS Staff? @RoguePOTUSStaff Mar 22
We told you POTUS is winning. You saw it today. Nunes just the start. This is what happens when public fails to hold Congress accountable.

into the boilers of congress, nothing will happen, the only hope is that by 2018, those boilers will be so overworked, whatever good will so burned out, that they cannot use them to keep congress elected in 2018, nor tromp in 2020. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Kind of like Michael Moore who kept saying Trump was going to win.
To warn of too much confidence in a thing when there is a good chance to will go badly is supportive.

In once instance they tweeted about 45 being at home in WH eating popcorn and watching the Oscars when in fact 45 was at the Governors Ball he was hosting

It's appears to be NOT inside the WH
