Sen. Durbin says in private conversations, some Republicans have hit the breaking point w/Trump. [View all]

Sen. Durbin (On "All In&quot said that in some private conversations he's had w/Republicans, some of them are at or past the breaking point with this President.

He then urged the Senators to work in a bipartisan fashion, appoint a Special Prosecutor, and move forward. It's critical to take the politics out of it all. He said some are ready to put country ahead of anything else.

I hope this is true.

The conversations may be true, but that the republicans actually take action is another thing still_one May 2017 #4

True. Can the Intel Committees alone appoint a Special Prosecutor? Or the whole Senate? Honeycombe8 May 2017 #6

It is either up to Congress or the Justice Department still_one May 2017 #7

They can get what they want done with Pence BannonsLiver May 2017 #15

I think so, too. Pence would bring calm and organization. At least in comparison. Honeycombe8 May 2017 #16
