Nothing major is going happen until after Labor Day, IMHO DonaldsRump Jul 2019 #29

Agree DeminPennswoods Jul 2019 #33

Just to add, the Nixon case is far more relevant DonaldsRump Jul 2019 #36

The Nixon case is not really relevant. former9thward Jul 2019 #47

Beg to differ. DonaldsRump Jul 2019 #81

Well said, thank you DeminPennswoods Jul 2019 #83

You are basically saying the House investigators can find more than Mueller. former9thward Jul 2019 #86

Nope, that's not what I'm saying. DonaldsRump Jul 2019 #88

It occurred to me that there's a good reason why impeachment has not yet started DonaldsRump Jul 2019 #89

FWIW, I've had the same thought. MFGsunny Jul 2019 #92

You didn't listen to the beginning of the afternoon session. former9thward Jul 2019 #90

I should have been clearer. He said he spoke to unnamed Democratic Members StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #44

My $s on Heilman exaggerating DeminPennswoods Jul 2019 #45

I have to absolutely agree with this bluestarone Jul 2019 #39

The Senate will acquit Trump from all impeachment charges. Then it's completely over. WhoWoodaKnew Jul 2019 #38

Once hearings start, it is completely unpredictable what DeminPennswoods Jul 2019 #43

Nah. Republicans have shown they'll protect Trump no matter what. WhoWoodaKnew Jul 2019 #46

Nixon was no different, his "southern strategy" DeminPennswoods Jul 2019 #82

Richard Nixon was nowhere near as savvy as Trump regarding conning people. WhoWoodaKnew Jul 2019 #87

Nixon was plenty savvy and his chief of staff, Haldeman, DeminPennswoods Jul 2019 #91

Yeah, I'm totally disagreeing with that. WhoWoodaKnew Jul 2019 #93
