I'd like to think that dems and some gop in congress are doing what they need to do as wiggs Feb 2021 #41

Why do you think the Senate committees won't conduct investigations? StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #21

Impeachment Rule XI allows for an impeachment committee to take evidence servermsh Feb 2021 #31

Agreed. SlogginThroughIt Feb 2021 #27

There's a difference between "I think they should have" and "It was stupid of them not to" StarfishSaver Feb 2021 #29
