4. Everyone needs to call for his recusal. If he doesn't,

he must resign. This is bullshit.

Fuck the goddamned GOP crime cartel. Jesus.

6. Just a few weeks ago he appeared with Sen. Warner and all appeared well

The bipartisan nature of the Senate investigation was being lauded as opposed to the House debacle, and Senator Warner seemed genuinely convinced that there would be no game playing in their chamber.

What happened to send this off the rails, and why hasn't Warner commented accordingly?

7. I knew this would happen........

we need the FBI come forward with some prosecutable evidence and get this ball rolling. If not, the silence now is deafening!

We need to know sooner, rather than later!

11. From the Charlotte Observer

Burr, the state’s senior Republican senator, is seeking his third term in this year’s election, facing a challenge from former state Rep. Deborah Ross, a Democrat. If he wins in November, he said he’ll serve the six-year term and then retire from politics in 2022.

“It’s real simple: I’m beginning to get old,” Burr, 60, told reporters after the delegation’s breakfast at a suburban Cleveland hotel. “I still look forward to getting back into the private sector before retirement even comes into the picture. I never envisioned retiring out of the Congress.”

18. Yip, both Senate/House ain't gonna do it. DRUMPF is going to have to do a melt-down in public
