33. "By definition a slow process."

So why would you expect anyone to hold one's breath, or it to go quickly?

I also don't think he's having "fun." I think that the strain is wearing on him.

And you are correct - he won't be seen as being fired, he will want to "quit" because that is more manly.

That's another reason that impeachment won't ever really reach the table. And I want Schneider to have the full NY state charges ready to go on his kids and him, so they can't be pardoned.
