good point evertonfc Nov 2019 #1
I find it hard to take Abramson seriously DeminPennswoods Nov 2019 #2
Why do you think that? dewsgirl Nov 2019 #5
He just seems like Ahab with the white whale DeminPennswoods Nov 2019 #6
Have you read his books? He has been spot on about everything. dewsgirl Nov 2019 #7
We'll have to agree to disagree DeminPennswoods Nov 2019 #8
You disagree bigtime with me as well. Wake up. triron Nov 2019 #15

98% of the American people don't even know about these releases, much less, what they say or mean. Outside of political junkies, this is way to complicated.

all at once. It would be better to give the media a day or two to process each witness's revelations, even if it meant that the process would continue into early next year.

There is no chance the deadend GOP has 20 honorable Senators to begin with...let alone 20 that would vote to remove from office.

Trump will face articles of impeachment, he will be forever stained in history and he will not be removed from office...the interesting part comes NEXT year at this time when we will be discussing whether or not the US Marhsalls, the Secret Service or the Armed Forces will be responsible for draggging him out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. when he refuses to accept the results of the election and his loss...

We learned from Mueller that people aren't going to read lengthy documents, regardless of how they're released. I think public hearings will have much more impact on average voters, like it did during the Nixon era.

digesting and explaining each one. This way too much is coming out all at once.

... as far as crimes and scandals go, there will be more. There will be new knowledge of old crimes, plus fresh new crimes. Scandal is the norm for Crooked Donald.

to persuade even 1 GOP Senator to vote to convict Trump - much less the 20 needed to remove him from Office ……..Does Seth really believe otherwise ?…….... He needs to get out and visit the rural areas of the South and West to get a reality check …..Trump's base is sticking to their cult leader ….I believe it is wise to expedite Impeachment ……...People will grow bored if the process drags on ……...

America’s expeditious handling of the most criminal organization to ever visit the House that African Americans built , is necessary to preserve what little sanity is left to govern after this ginormous catastrophe....and allowing some semblance of normality to envelop the world...
