The Repugs Could End This Today If They Would Only Agree To Vote To Convict.....

I'm thinking that Raskin saying he wants to have a witness - was because of Moscow Mitch saying he's going to vote to acquit.

I think they are playing a 3 dimensional chess game now - a game of chicken. Who's going to crack?

Tr**p is out on the golf course probably thinking that he would be acquitted today and readying himself to put his mug out there and say he was exonerated.

This has thrown a monkey wrench in this.

Tr**p's lawyer was glad it would be over today with an acquittal because he has nothing more to defend Tr**p with.

This has thrown a monkey wrench in his day.

The Repugs can rid themselves of Tr**p if they'd would vote to convict. Why don't they think of the country and their oath and do the right thing? It might also save their Party.

He said he wants to interview HUNDREDS of people, in his Philadelphia office! That would take months and cost tRump LOTS of money!

In the past, the same attorney said tRump was a crook. His style reminds me a lot of the Saul Goodman character. Lots of false bravado and bluffs.

Raskin is calling his bluff. Good!

Please proceed...

cowardly, and every crisis point after that. I think you are right about the chess, and to be honest I didn't think Congressional Democrats had it in them. I think Lyndsey's bragging about calling Pelosi, Clinton etc was an effort to put Democrats off calling witnesses.
