If people don't end up in jail for this, we are lost. Period!

[littletodger]

We need more Sheldon Whitehouses. Many more.

[everomero]

DON'T EVER LET US FORGET UNTIL THEY ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRIMES THEY COMMITTED AGAINST AMERICA.

I like Senator Sheldon Whitehouse he seems a very powerful voice within the Senate. I have been watching the videos of him over the Kavanaugh scheme. Just so many schemes. Trump really loves playing the federal version of a mob boss his threat, tactics and lies. The US people saw this type of something was going on but they weren't heard.

Lets not forget Trumps Personal Attorney Bill Barr in ALL of this MESS.

It is ALWAYS a pleasure to see and hear Senator Whitehouse share his insights.

The MANDATE of the Judicial System in the United States was meant to be completely APOLITICAL - Meaning the appointed Judges and Prosecutors employed by the State or elected by the people of this country should reject affiliation with any political party, Private political entity, or faction during their term of office - Personal preference or outside influence should not have any bearing on determinations of cases brought before the Courts in order to provide equality in Law to all citizens -

We know all this!!!
So when will the results of their crime and be arrested!!
We KNOW Already!!
Stop talking, get some results!!

Senator Whitehouse is one of the few politicians that I trust, along with Senator Bernie and Rep. Katie Porter.

Quasi "mini events" can lead to maxi catastrophies. History has shown this over and over again.
There's nothing mini to this. America must not accept what happened here. Leave no stone unturned!

[KesselRunner]

I'm so sick of hearing about "growing evidence" but not a single mention of *CONSEQUENCES.*

[steveczerwinski]

This man has a backbone. He is aggressive he is as good as Robert Mueller, and I wish the rest of the democratic party would grow a backbone as well.

[sclogse]

And Chuck Grassley releases his version of the report finding Trump's behaviour all within the limits. The same guy who said "The federal tax plan should reward millionaire investors, not people who spend their money on booze and women."

[ramonng]

so far, Merrick Garland has failed to impress...wasting a historic moment to save democracy by sidelining Trump, so much damage already wrought upon the nation.

Jeffrey Clark looks like the guy in a movie who volunteers to torture the victim so his boss doesn't get blood on his clothes.

[chadweirick]

Great. Let’s get some arrests, convictions, and executions started.

[WunHungLo]

Nixon look like a part timer and a Good Samaritan compared to Trump.

[brendanjohnson]

So Clark was just a Who put him up to it?

[proudprogressive]

Can you please refer to trump as former ‘president’ or individual 1?

[nizamselim]

There's probably a way out: Get rid of the sitting duck AG Merrick Garland who is neither here and nor there. Appoint ADAM SCHIFF as the Acting Attorney General so that he can get to work immediately without any fuss.
