Lisa Blunt Rochester agrees on the need for pre-impeachment hearings

If congressional Democrats don't do anything in the face of the mountains of evidence of criminal activities documented in the Mueller Report, they are flatly giving up on the Republic. If they push for an impeachment of President Trump in the House that will fail in the Senate, many fear an electoral "backlash" similar to the vote against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Lisa Blunt Rochester would like you to know that she aware of the fact that Trump is a corrupt, disease-ridden dog of a President*, but she wants to hear directly from Mueller before calling for impeachment outright.

Trump’s TV Defenders

My TV news blackout broke down temporarily last night. As usual, in ten minutes of viewing I was exposed to less news than punditry. In this case the pundits were "reporting" that the President's defenders were taking two tracks. 1) The President didn't really commit crimes because his underlings ignored his illegal orders. And, 2) The President didn't really commit crimes because he didn't have "criminal intent" to commit crimes. (Accidental crimes and crimes committed due to blundering ignorance don't count I guess.) Pretty weak stuff.

Is Trump still President?

I'm seriously asking. My news blackout has been airtight. I assume the Mueller report has catalogued Trump's many crimes. A few key GOP Senators peeled away from the cult of Trump giving sanity a majority in both houses. The Republic was rescued in a nick of time. That was a crazy three years. I'm glad that it is over.
