Good post John.

I also think we will learn what happened on the PHX tarmac with Obama's AG Loreta and Bill Clinton a few days before FBI Dir Comey let her off the hook.

We might even learn where Obama was during the Benghazi debacle and the immediate aftermath of collusion by Susan Rice on the Sunday morning shows and why she recently said the information she stated was from the CIA Bennan.

We also might learn about the 30,000 deleted e-mails.

We will definitely learn about any traitors that supported the political coup.

Has Nancy released the Impeachment to the Senate yet? Your thoughts about that would be interesting.

theHating: Seems like nancy was playing right into trumps hands, i wonder why republicans pushed so hard against the senate hearing if they, as you claim, know it would "make minorities vote for trump".

Seems like a good way to drain the swamp and yet he fought so hard against it. Why not welcome the opportunity?

David responds:

Perfect question. What law did he break? If he did break a law, why didn't the House get a Grand Jury to indict him?

Reason? No law was broken.

That is why Nancy Pelosi is sitting on the impeachment without sending it to the Senate.

This is what she feared might happen if Schiff or Nadler did not uncover a crime.

They told her that Trump broke the law and she said well ok, then, let's get on with it.

However, she got snookered by Schiff and Nadler. No crime. She is so fucked right now.

So, Trump is calling her bluff and demanding her to send the articles of impeachment to the senate. She can't. She is sooooooo screwwwwwwwwwwed.

However, during the Senate trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President's attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THEY WANT.

That is different than the special counsel investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the Senate impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from:

Adam Schiff
Nadler
Pelosi
James Comey,
Peter Strzok,
Lisa Page,
Bruce Ohr,
Glenn Simpson,
Donna Brazile,
Eric Holder,
Loretta Lynch,
Christopher Steele,
Hillary Clinton,
John Brennan,
James Clapper,

....and a whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing cover-up activities.

A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger-pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of Democrats will start being charged and going to prison.

All this, because, remember, the President's team will now, for the first time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath – and they will turn on each other. That is already starting.

davidk1: Sir Loin, my dad was a violinist in the San Francisco Symphony and in the '60's he was offered to try out in the New Zealand Symphony. But mom was very hesitant to leave family and friends. We all had gotten our Passports ready just in case anyway. The US was in such turmoil in the '60's as it was that dad wanted to have a back-up plan as well. Mom was still hesitant and we did not move.

Sir Loin,

We lived in an apartment on the corner of two streets in San Francisco in the 1960's. All of our windows faced the street. When the weather was nice, the windows were open. Dad was always practicing, hours every day. A perfectionist. Playing over and over the same bars, over and over. However, he did play complete music as well. My mother was an accomplished pianist as well.

I loved when he and she would play Frédéric François Chopin who was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano.

He would accompany her.

Folks walking by on the street would gather below the living room windows listening to them. There were times I had had enough and had to go out and play and have to make my way through the crowd thinking that they should have to listen to him practice all the time.

Good memories now, over half a century ago now.

He used to do recitals as well. My memories of him at Friday night services were wonderful. I had sort of a celebrity as a father.

In reading your comments, I might agree. However, right now, it's all about America first. This is what Trump won on. Obama was giving away the farm. Our debt went up horribly in those 8 years.

We have been the $$$ bank, the police, the street sweeper of the world, wars everywhere, costing horrible human sacrifices and draining the treasury of $$$Trillions for too long and our economy is teetering on the edge. Right now, the US has to pay attention to what's happening here at home. Here is a website for you to look at, I think there is a worldwide website as well but this one is from the official US Treasury website. Take a look at the debt, the payment on the debt and the unfunded liabilities we have to deal with. China has taken trillions out of our economy because of our trade practices and it had to stop, NATO also was costing huge amounts and that is why Trump went after them.

Here is the website...
