71. I think he is trying to stay non partisan
Thu May 30, 2019, 10:34 AM
May 2019

In a very partisan world and it’s impossible. It’s like he is walking a tight rope afraid to give help to either side and wants to stick with facts.

But when the facts clearly go on one side and it’s not his parties side he is driven even more to show republicans he is being fair to them.

I think he looks sick from the whole thing and just wants to crawl in a hole, doesn’t want to be “the one who could change things” but he is.

Haven’t we all at sometimes in our lives had to do something we didn’t want to? Times that by important to the whole country with very opposing views. And facts go on the side you don’t belong too.

He wants to belong to government again where sides don’t matter the job does, doesn’t want to accept how it is. He is purposely speaking in such hard to understand language for the little guy no wonder most of country doesn’t know what truth is.

Most of country probably heard him say can’t put president in jail, I am done. Rest was a bunch of double negatives and went over people’s heads. Which is why he needs to testify and in public but good luck with that!
