I want to see more Democratic Party representatives on TV talking about this...

I'm only watching MSNBC, but all I've seen is Swalwell. Are there any other Congressmen or Senators with interviews out there yet? I've seen a couple letters putting Mueller off a couple weeks. Where are our reps?

Disclaimer: Whoever is following me and reporting me, please don't take this as me speaking badly of a Democrat. I am only wondering why we're not seeing more faces on TV. I refuse to watch Fox, but I'd bet they have plenty of "stars" willing to be interviewed over there.

That's why it's called a network.

Barr was stupid enough to think releasing it while Congress was out was samsara but it was dumb. More time for Congress members to read and get feedback from constituents. This will not be going away quietly and as I remember in1974 the story got bigger and by August is when Nixon resigned. The outrage and coverage will get louder.

The real alternative fake new of Fox, breitbart and others will be drowned out.

That actually may take a little time do properly and completely.
