Do we really trust Dan Coats?

I rather trust him than anyone else who isn't a Trump ass kisser!

Trump ready and willing to provide transcripts. Republicans high fiving that we are going after impeachment. Something isn't right here. Maybe it is due to getting my heart ripped out so many times... I don't know.

And that a failure to convict him would allow him to claim he was exonerated?

Like people here have been saying for months?

... bother me. trump is an idiot at most things, but a lot of the republican leadership is pretty savvy. I don’t see them panicking and jumping ship. They have a plan, and it may well be a good one.

Something just doesn’t smell right about this, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it turns out they are baiting a trap.

Last week someone posted an article that said the House Dems should censor trump. It was shot down pretty aggressively as “weak sauce” and a futile effort that would make us look weak. I agree.

But tell me the difference between that and articles of impeachment that go no where? A Senate show trial and acquittal will be the equivalent of “not guilty” and “did nothing wrong”, etc... and we will be painted even more brightly as the party harassing the president.

I hope this whistleblower turns out to be as explosive as we all hope. But I’m going to wait until it all comes to light to celebrate. YMMV.

To quote an old asshole Repub Pres, trust but verify.

I keep thinking back to the video of him finding out Putin was invited to the White House:



He's probably a bit of a hawk and certainly not a social liberal, but I don't think he's either a moron or a traitor and I can buy that he reached his breaking point when it became obvious that the corruption was just going to keep getting worse.

to make the dems look foolish. What if the whole whistle blower thing is a sham? Yea, I'm paranoid these days.

Clearly trump can lie, but supposedly the whistleblower is going to testify.

...this administration over the past 2 years.

his history is that of a partisan.
