We do not have the time, unfortunately, to wait a month for hearings to begin. Democrats must act in a more urgent manner, in my opinion.
The question must be asked: Are the Republicans standing with Donald Trump? We can only assume that they stand unanimously behind him.

I admire you for still having it and hope that you are right and I am wrong, because I don't think any of them will have a second thought about criminal activity....OK, they might think "how can I get a piece of that!".

(4,608 posts)remained silent, or worse, openly aided and abetted this scandalous and dangerous regime. I'm not expecting any sudden Republican change of heart, or cavalry riding over the ridge to save us. Each day the "Rule of Law" and the Constitution are debased and degraded in an ever augmenting downhill slide. And none of them speak up or take action. I would love to be proven wrong but am not holding my breath.

(15,588 posts)As Meuller and Barr are both already scheduled to testify during May, and McGhan and former security advisor Cline have been subpoenaed.
Many more subpoenas can go out during the month of May.
If Trump continues his obstruction, and attempts to block any of the above from testifying, as well as attempting to block the lawful release of his taxes my or once they do testify in May, then at that time, I think an assessment can then clearly be made if an impeachment inquiry must be opened in order to bring the truth to the American people, and in order for Congress to perform its lawful oversight duty.
