Whether those republicans know it but are too cowardly to stand up in the end and fight for a special prosecutor is another story . I believe it's true some said that and Durbin is urging them Can they be true to our country And go forward? Yes I hope they are ready but they are republicans which lowers the probability they will do what they say unfortunately.
