That is why every House Dem voted against the censure motion and it failed to pass. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143567873

Trump is a convicted sex offender. You want info on a guy like that, you have to talk to the people around him who were like him. Informants are usually criminals themselves. Law enforcement frequently uses criminals as informants because their position within the criminal world allows them to provide unique, actionable intelligence.
