Thank YOU!

I watched a good deal of the hearing and although John Dean was getting most of the press, I was impressed with the two female attorneys who also testified, Barbara McQuade and Joyce White Vance.

Dean: "Remarkable parallels" between Mueller report and Watergate
Dean; McGahn should testify before Congress
Barbara McQuade: The president was "threatened" by the special counsel exposing more potential crimes over the course of the investigation which compelled him to want to fire Mueller from the probe.
Joyce White Vance called lack of obstruction charge into question.

Repubs on the committee tried several times to say this hearing was a waste of time - John Dean replied the hearing is important because it informs the public, given most Americans along with many in Congress did not read the Mueller report.

The questions of the women were all in search of the truth, and i was thinking their approach
was in stark contrast to the earlier approach of Nunes and his other Trump cronies.

Then Jim Jordan came on the scene, suggesting that since Trump didn't fire Comey or Rosenstein there could not have been any wrong doing.

Picture a guy who asked another to commit arson, and the other refused. Or a guy who asked another to commit murder,
then the other was prevented from doing it. Or the other refused. Is the first guy innocent of breaking any law?
