He made his name in Congress as an uncompromising brawler. A college wrestling champion, he cut his teeth on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, grilling witnesses in high-profile hearings. He later co-founded the hard-line House Freedom Caucus that helped drive former Republican Speaker John Boehner into early retirement.Why We Wrote This The Ohio congressman has been given a prominent role in the public hearings a nod to his bare-knuckle style and appeal to the GOP base. The move also reflects the extent to which theatrics are part of the process.

I think you're right on every point... and person.
Hilarious!! Thank you!
Please see my tag line.
We think alike.
I think Plosi is looking for the off ramp!
Great post, Larry... thanks!

He is a BIG Trump supporter. He also young and ambitious. He is a former prosecutor and I bet he is chomping at the bit to make a name for himself.
Is it possible that Senators will try to get Trump to agree to a quick vote in the. Senate, promising him exoneration? This will eliminate the possibility that he will be removed from office but also eliminate the possibility that dirty Senators and lots of others will be exposed. Trump is a fighter but knows how totally dirty so many politicians are, even some that are supposedly on his side.
I hope you are right.
You have a lot of both knowledge and contacts.
It’s possible that Dems overplayed their hand.
And self-interested Pubs see backing the President as a key to their own political survival.
Perhaps their calculus has changed. They have seen Trump fight, without giving an inch, for three years. He has weathered every storm.
The Pubs may not like Trump, and they may not want to be like Trump - but they want to win like Trump.
Check him out on YouTube.
Trump fully expected to be impeached when the (D)'s took over and he has planned his counter attack accordingly long ago. Timing is everything, and I think the reason the Horowitz report has been delayed has in part been due to another famous Trump 3-D chess strategy.
The Shiff Show has been a blow out disaster for the (D)'s and any (D)'s that vote to impeach Trump based on the findings of the Shiff Show will suffer on that basis alone. Trump's polls rise, (D)'s calls for impeachment sink. This is 3-D strategy #1 successfully played.
Strategy 2 can be played whether House impeaches or not. Senate can do its own investigation and call witnesses. Since House set precedent for doing so, Senate can do their own investigation led by Graham. In any event Senate investigation provides the forum for opening the Horowitz can of whoop ass.
In the background - quietly - is John Durham's criminal investigation -- the guy who actually prosecutes what Horowitz and he have discovered. Add to this the recent Ukraine-led indictment of the Burisma clan. No telling what their discovery has uncovered Together this can effectively set up the prosecution of the entire Ukraine conspirators - Biden - Kerry Pelosi - under terms of the treaty signed in 1999 by Bill Clinton. This is truly "3-D" strategy -- a Trilateral Prosecution from which the Deep State Dept (or any of the Vindman/whistleblower "Oba-moles") will not escape.
Strategy 3: BiteMe bites the dust, but recall what he said in his quid-pro-quo call that he bragged about at the CFR:
I had gotten, he added, a commitment from [President] Poroshenko and from [Prime Minister] Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor. And they didnt. So they said they had they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, Im not going to or, were not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. Youre not the president.
The president said I said, call him, Mr. Biden replied, evoking, the CFR transcript notes, laughter.

Call who, BiteMe? Who is "him"?
You mean Obama was personally in on this racket too? As a sitting President" Only a full investigation will reveal this, right?
Who says you can't impeach a President retro-actively for crimes committed during his Presidency?
Strategy 4: Investigation into Obama gets to go anywhere ... just like it did with Mueller against Trump. Columbia U may be getting a call and a subpoena. Trump has a score to settle from an investigation which for him started back in 2011 with the phony birth certificate. Lots of Deep Staters covered for this prick, never mind re-opening Hillary's 33000 scrubbed eMails and Benghazi weapons trafficking cover-up. Might even open up pedo "Liddle" Adam Schiff's connections to the child trafficking cabal in WeHo at the Standard Hotel, hmmmmm?
You see where I am going with this?
FReegards!
Based on how the House has destroyed these D witnesses, some of the guys in the Senate, like Hawley, Cotton, Scott, Cruz, Rand Paul, will eviscerate these people.
Just my take.

Anything is possible I suppose...but it would be like carrying a scorpion on one’s back and it promise you it won’t sting you.
