and trashed OUR intelligence and there were no "notes"? Why not when he broke the law doing the same thing Cohen is in jail for? Why not when it was obvious he was milking his presidency for $$? Why not when he tried to talk his aides/appointees into breaking the law like, what, 11 times?

Why in heaven's name are we giving him space and benefit of the doubt??

I am SO unbelievably disappointed in our lack of immediate fervor. If ANYONE deserves impeachment it is him. If we continue to delay and more time passes between the act and action...we are equally complicit.
