2. His "boss"?! Burr is chairman. Warner is vice-chairman.

Junior is trying to manipulate Burr and distract from his own culpability. Sounds like he lied to Congress and is scared of the consequences. He should be.

And that “so-called ‘Republican’” comment gives away the game. Republicans are supposed to circle the wagons. That’s what they do.

Burr would apparently do anything that Donald wants, including sacrificing Donald’s children.

If this were a set up, why didn't they warn Jr or Dad first?

16. Like I said, I don't know. But it would be unnecessary political theatre.

Republicans are all backing Trump to the hilt. Burr is out of sync. Nobody else is pretending to do anything, why would he?

He went and told the W House about the investigations as a heads up. I DO DO TRUST BURR!

13. they are gonna fight every single step of attempted justice.

And they have Mueller's report that lists everything they need to fight against.
doesn't matter how bizarre they sound, this is about gaining time, gaining allies, gaining power, gaining money, as Kushner has already done.

There will be many unnecessary deaths if Bolton has his way, and already have been from the vile immigration lock ups.

Even if trump goes poof in a cloud of dust tomorrow, we will be stuck with his VP, unless we can successfully contest the election itself.

On top of everything else, the whole House has to run for re-election next year, when it should be using the time to pursue all the corruption.

Nothing to do now except take a deep breath, commit ourselves for a long battle and support the good guys in Congress, and in our states, as much as we can, in this most important fight for our country.
And literally, for our children and grandchildren 's lives..
If we lose, our planet does too.

15. Anyone know if there are dems on that committee and if they can ask questions?

Or is this a fake where they'll toss a couple of soft balls and proclaim, "See, no collusion!"
