You know what's unprecedented?

[ck4829]

Leaders of a political party conspiring to intimidate witnesses and obstruct justice.

Just sayin’.

1. What's even worse is they're going to get away with it

2. You don't know that.

3. Best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

So it is quite easy to predict how this is going to turn out.

5. They'll certainly try.

For the last few decades the primary achievement of the Democratic party has been its obstructions of the Republicans' itinerary. They've had scant adequate time and circumstance to do much else. Hopefully they can serve this function once again.

Yes, I remember the ACA & Biden's early success with the inflation and stuff act. My point is the Democrats have been forced to squander too much effort just to stop the psychotics' acting out.

4. I don't think that's true.

Listen to Rachel Maddie’s podcast “Ultra”. Politicians then (late 1930s and 40s) most certainly did attempt to intimidate witnesses and obstruct Justice. Essentially got away with it, too.

6. Dems want to know who committed the crime; Rethugs want to know who ratted them out.

7. Probably scared.

If their big cover man can be taken down, they may be next.

Unless...they can get the system rigged enough to save themselves first.

8. When the law is lawless.
