We all know our government is being used to avenge his petty ego.

For those of you who have not yet listened to the entire clip, Durbin asks at the end, "Is there one Republican who gives a damn?"

Then he closes.

Durbin kept saying "on a bipartisan basis" when speaking about votes on Nixon, if my memory serves
me correctly every elected Republican voted to impeach Nixon. Now-a-days they circle their wagons
around anybody with an R behind their name no matter how appalled they are at their misdeeds.

Hope his speech made some Rs ashamed of their actions or lack there of.

to him years ago. He has assembled a private army from pardoned Jan 6ers and proud boys to terrorize citizens of this country, etc etc etc. I'm not sure there are any laws he ever obeyed. He should have been impeached the first time around and never allowed to run again. But we all know that. So what it your point?

so I can see which offenses were committed when.

You've combined a whole slew of offenses, but we are talking about one in this case--using the DOJ for personal vengeance.

If you give me a date, I can give you an answer. You should confine your answer to this one specific crime because that is the topic of the OP.

So what date would you like to have seen this introduced on this particular issue?

measuring up to the standards you have set before me. Feel free to just ignore my posts going forward. I'm clearly not at your level of discourse.

the whole video I'm stuck on his saying that *HE* is doing the investigating. Besides asking for *one* Repuke, who else can subpoena, call hearings, staff a report? The answer to his question is, No not one Repuke. Good understated speech.
