Essentially an unindicted coconspirator. Yesterday we saw how the judicial system is supposed to work. Now, in a Functioning Congress, All Of The Lights would be blinking red today. In a Functioning Congress, the outgoing House Speaker would be directing the outgoing House Judiciary Chair to be beginning the very similar process of investigating cohens investigations. I wouldnt say you start an impeachment hearing, but you start the process. The president was accused of committing a crime in a federal courtroom. And if enough evidence is found in a Functioning Congress the committee would begin to draw up articles of impeachment. Of course this isnt a Functioning Congress. Right now it is sort of not around, controlled by republicans w. H. Ho have been unwilling to hold its party leader accountable. Is there a Point Riepublicans will decide enough is enough and abandon ship . The house isnt in washington
but heres what some Senate Republicans said today. These are serious charges. They
China has come down tremendously. Tremendously. China would have superseded us in two years as an economic power. Now theyre not even close.

The Johnson Administration and the Nixon Administration regularly tried to politicize on weapon eyes the fbi. Against civil rights activists and lots of other people who werent able to fight back against that big and overreaching state. One of the reasons why you have earned so much support for the way you conceived of this mission end of this calling today is because of the ways you have made it clear how you think this oath obligates you to work for the constitution and in defense of the constitution on behalf of the American People, not on behalf of either political party.

I would make sure that i was compliant in all my legal duties but
