Muellers testimony underlined what was already clear. the president of the united states broke the law, would be under criminal indictment if he didnt hold that office. hes not above the law. congress should begin prae impeachment proceedings. then we have the divide that dan balls is reporting, we are left with one option, the presidency 2020 election. case closed, were done. do you think there will still be a dreambeat of stories of division within nancy pelosis caucus or is the case closed? >...
