Yeah, I watched. Somehow I just could not not. I have not logged onto FB to see what's been posted.
We all saw it in real time 18 months ago. The gop refused to impeach him - will Merrick Garland refuse to charge those involved?
I honestly don't think Garland has the guts. Everyone knows if he tries to go after tRUMP or any of the top people it will be played as Partisan Politics by the Right. tRUMP is "street smart" and knows how to slime his way out of the target zone. All these hearings will do is put the facts up to the American Public...and the WORLD. It will be up to the American VOTERS to fix this. If we DONT...it will be our own fault.
