And in congress, they all stink.
You can hold your nose if you want to, I’m not going to.
That is exactly how we have lost all already.
How many emails is the equivalent of 12 minutes of lost tape?
Failure to do his work is not a crime. It is a cause for dismissal - but that's nothing, compared to conviction of many influential people.
At most one can allege criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice... but those charges also need proof. If all interested parties clam up, there isn't much that the law can do - assuming that the law is interested in doing anything.
I guess you misread my post or have no reading comprehension.
No, I read your post just fine, and I understood it just fine.
I think it is you who failed to comprehend my post, so here let me bold it for you so that the words might penetrate better:

Comprehend that, drone, because I swear before God that I am done with the stinking GOP.
