As sinners would say, we all sin. tRump butt sniffers say we all lie, therefore it's okay to lie and cheat and steal, so long as they're the ones doing it.

In Congress. They are the criminals for their blind devotion to Trump.

Hats off to Eric Swalwell.

charge yellows of Barr, Giuliani,McConnell, Chao....I like Warren’s truth commission or whatever she called it. No more looking forward to the future. Dems must dismantle the Republican Party and their right-wing media enablers I want to see Murdoch’s ass in front of Congressional hearings, and Hannity as well. Every Trump dirty deal must be uncovered starting with his tax returns and tax evasion schemes along with his corrupt kids especially Jared and Ivanka. Bankrupt these bastards 7 time. And start an investigation into Kavenaugh’s lies during his conformation hearing like the “Renata Club” and “Boof” which leads to his impeachment and removal. The first 100 days I want revenge. AND BARR especially!

once he ISN'T the president, he's able to be prosecuted.

One problem: He was impeached in the House, then came the Senate "trial". If we were to call up a Grand Jury in a Manhattan or DC courthouse, would that be Double Jeopardy?

It wasn't a real trial, since there were no witnesses and he didn't face his accusers, so how does this play out? There isn't any precedent for this mega-nonsense and we can't rely on a solid 6 - 3 kangaroo Supreme Court.

Eric Swalwell has been around a bit, but I'm happy to see him morphing into a force to be reckoned with; he did a bang-up job during the impeachment hearings.

To hold Barr in contempt last summer. Are there no penalties for that?

No president should be / is above the law. Our system of government never anticipated an entire political party being corrupt so it does not have the safety valves built in for such a situation. It needs to be changed.

The OLC “memo” needs to be scrapped. If a President in office commits a crime they should be charged.

Also the same criminal President should not be in control of the department that is tasked with enforcement of the law. The command structure for the DOJ needs to be restructured so this is not possible.

If we ever get control of our gov't again this is definitely one of the changes that MUST be made.

Thx again.
