1. I want to know three things.

One of them I now know. The Cato Institute says there are 10,000 congressional staffers. That means that the letter was signed by .037 of them. Not as impressive when you look at it that way. I'd also like to know what percentage of this small number are on the staff of repug congresscritters. Finally, I'd like to know how many of them are willing to quit if dump is acquitted. Given the salaries provided by the Cato article, I'd guess not many of them. Their earnings are significant. And if most of them serve Dem congress men or women, what good would quitting do? Now, if a host of repug staffers said, "Convict or we quit." I'd be more impressed.
