"Do-over"?

Do they mean for the first time?

For the first time, the Democrats are able to investigate what happened with the Russian infiltration of our elections.

Before January (actually February) of this year, Democrats were in the minority and the Republicans in the House and Senate either "slow-walked" or totally obstructed getting to the truth.

Now, the Trump Party "cover-uppers" want to stop it with Bill Barr and go no further.

Why do it over, they ask?

Because it hasn't been done the first time.

The Democrats took control of the House in February, after the Trump government shut-down, which means they have been in power less than 4 months.

They are attempting to call witnesses to get to the bottom of it but are being obstructed by the White House and everyone in it. They are demanding "executive privilege". Privilege is something they know a lot about.

So there is no "do-over".

There is a plan to do it right the second time.

Designed to make the non-tail of the curve majority seem uppity and preserve the false equivalence.

Since snowflake and cuck have lost their punch.

I've seen it used often over the past couple of days.

He has come out with an immigration plan that is solely intended to distract.
The Alabama abortion Bill that may backfire on them in that it will unite women.

Just saying, an impeachment hearing would change the narrative.

I agree Kentuck, we haven't even seen the Mueller report, just selected releases.

What were there 6 Benghazi hearings?

We need a candidate or 2 to take on Trump.
