I really, really want to say yes, but I know that the Republicans will still go after them even after Trump's embarrassing display. What do you say?

Even Gowdy has shown a spine and a tiny bit of honesty on this one...

I think thats where they are now.

(23,971 posts)the Republican leadership might even be thinking it'd be easier to proceed without Trump
not that they want to ditch him, that wouldn't play well with the base, but they aren't going to pull any maneuvers to protect his guilty ass either

But Dana the Traitor Rohrabacher and that treasonous House Freedom Caucus are still going to press impeachment.

(73,623 posts)of Trey Gowdy's public statement on this? He indicated there are no grounds for impeaching Mr. Rosenstein -- though he said if Rosenstein did something wrong, Trump could fire him. I think that throws a bit of cold water on the House Treason Caucus, as Gowdy is the most intelligent (yikes!) of that group.

(14,167 posts)In the hearing with Agent Strzok, I got a "thou protesteth too much" vibe from him.
He's an ass, but he has been relatively consistent about the Mueller probe:
Russia attacked this country in 2016. Thats the No. 1 thing weve asked Mueller to look at, he added.

He knows what his party has done and how they have conspired with Russia, not just to fix the Presidential election, but other things too. I personally think he is cooperating with Mueller and we should view some of his actions as theater. The tension between Mr. Strzok and Gowdy was very palpable and I'm pretty sure Mr. Strzok knows how Gowdy is involved in this mess too.
