over and over in the past. Instead for whatever reason we failed to put Nixon in prison. We failed to put Regan in prison. We chose to let George H W Bush stroll away from his crimes. We failed to prosecute George W. Bush and Dick satin Cheney for war crimes and let them retire to their ranches in peace. All apparently for the good of the country. Now the criminals know no matter what they do no matter what crimes they commit they will have no consequence not only that but they are allowed to continue while the county again decides if stopping them will hurt the Democratic party. This time is going to be the last time the chance will be available. If we don't stop them, if we lose in 2020 I'm afraid we're done . There will be no more chances. I'm from Illinois and we have no problem putting our elected officials in prison as our history shows for far far less than the present administration does in a week. Impeachment can't wait, arrest and fines for ignoring subpoenas can't wait. Testimony from Muller and all those who have not been heard from can't wait.

(16,125 posts)running out all of their options before starting impeachment, so that they can have the paper trail that says they followed procedure to the letter.
My fear is that next year, they will still be sending out strongly worded letters and setting deadline after deadline that will be ignored and getting nowhere.
But, if Trump skates on all of this? We will have become a country run by criminals and with no rule of law.
