Or will they pass the hot potato?
The cases about Donald Trump's taxes and finances have finally made it to their door. Will they make a decision to protect our laws and our Constitution? Or will they fold to the partisan flames? The partisan divisions are deep and wide.

That was the most narrow Fig Leaf ever cited. It was the key to open the way to Trump.
