Remember, they know what we know, and they know it is bullshit
we, the people, on our ignorance, know that we have been lied to. Our government has told us. We know that they are spying on the furriners, and we know that they are spying on everyone they choose. We know they have lied to congress, and they have committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

there is no waiting. I refuse to believe that anyone could still think there is anything less than criminal trials for the people that have taken over our government and created a fascist state.

....... And in all respect, it is long since time to begin the impeachment hearings because of what we all know will happen when congress asks for the documents. They will not be provided.

There is a serious delaying tactic being employed by democrats that have control of congress and have specific means for resolving issues with the executive or judicial branch. They have done NOTHING

remember, they know what we know, and they know it is bullshit

1. I see it kind of like chess
I think right now, the democrats are trying to get a pawn to the end of the board. They try with smaller things and try to push it. I'd see the inevitable queen that they opt to transform the pawn into as impeachment, or conviction trials or what have you. I see subpoenas as the pawn getting by the king who keeps trying to snag the pawn (executive privelage) as putting him in check and trying to gobble up the other pieces which thus far threaten the pawn's ability to pass as well. Force the king to move out of check so the piece can be taken.

What we really need though is some of our bigger pieces to get behind these "pawns", even at the risk of being taken, so that when the 'executive privelage' thing is stated, they could go 'ahha' and, while not immediately getting the king (you can't just take the king in chess), you can get some of his smaller pieces. What puzzles me is how they were able to do this before with less pieces (before elections), but now that they have a lot of seats it seems like less is being done. I think the big question is, does it only seem this way? I just know that for the least amount of pieces the other side has, the greater your chance of the damning checkmate which is bush getting the gong.

Sorry if that seemed incoherent ;) only woke a short while ago.
