Page 5 - Which Mueller News Today

A fight and theyve seen the fact the president and white house have been stonewalling. thats put more of them in the camp of saying we should move forward with impeachment since we cant get cooperation from the white house. the white house has been so willing to decide to just say a blanket no to any request from the congress, the fact now you have one republican saying, yes, we need to go forward with impeachment and saying he read the full report and did see impeachable offenses, it does give ...
