Our country is in the hands of whitleblowers now. The only thing to save this nation is a major march on Washington with numbers never seen before. These “demonstrations of convenience” in different locales aren’t getting it done. The legislators in Washington need to see the people in the streets. They do it in Chins. Can we do it here?

Guess we will see shortly how he looks

Since we cannot have an investigation until the election is over , if the Dems win, we will keep Trump in office until we can investigate.
We can not have a Dem swearing in if there might be an honest vote.
