12. The date seems not to be scheduled for the private questioning but docs are supposed to be turned

Over to the committee by Aug 2, as part of the agreement. I think they typically schedule the hearing after. They expect an open hearing after the first closed one- which comes after the review of docs turned over. It maybe that they need time to go over the docs, so don't schedule till they have an idea how much there is.

Still would not make a difference to his base

We would have a good laugh

But the next day Trump would still be president

He will not resign in discrace, because he has no shame, and nobody is going to remove him

doing it. Otherwise, they flip out to HissyFit World, while pretending they are shocked. Gross hypocrisy is the only republican "value" that is consistent.

If those you mentioned want to pass their information along to someone who will actually follow up and verify it then they should do that. Just posting rumors so they can claim to be FIRST! with something in case it turns out to be true is not helpful. It's kind of annoying. Information bullying. Trying to cut into the front of the information line.
