We can't afford to be careless now. trump must pay for ALL of his crimes and they are legion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.” or more familiarly, from the TV show 'The Wire,' spoken by the character, Omar Little - "You come at the king, you best not miss."

Either way, this is true - especially with trump, the king wannabe, and his hand-maiden, McConnell. The whole story, the whole truth must be revealed, all of it. Every little nasty morsel must be presented to We The People and to the world and once the incontrovertible evidence of trump's corruption and fraud; of his sociopathic, sexual criminality and treason - once the world is shown absolute proof of his crimes..then the people will demand remedy.

And so be it.
