the report came out. And think many in the press and even some Republicans were waiting to see our reaction. Guess we will never know where we'd be today if we were ready on that day and if we had had a stronger media/messaging plan. Announcing an emergency meeting of all Dem leadership to digest findings with a major primetime news conference set for one week later?

At that point a clear and serious denunciation of Trump's actions, and assertion that those actions were deemed impeachable offenses? An announcement that the Dems would start preparing for an impeachment inquiry? A recap of the other jurisdictions and what they were investigating?
