The meeting being dangled. thats both sides of it. the rudy factor screams abuse of power. using that blunt instrument to frustrate normal channels and insist on poison political benefit for this president in the form of a public statement condemning biden. so probing the facts of wrongdoing and abuse and even bribery may not be the most daunting aspect for the democrats. that takes me to the second task, convincing americans that this presidential perfidy warrants removal. why? there will be no...
