Fuhrer Drumpfenfarten should consider himself very fortunate that Nancy Pelosi is an institutionalist from yesteryear.\u00a0 She wants to proceed with congressional oversight slowly and deliberately, in spite of the many like me who disagree.\u00a0 With even a fair modicum of the cooperation the law requires, Trump could run out the clock.\u00a0 My the time they got around to impeaching him, they would be too busy running for reelection.\u00a0 But the Fuhrer is so narcissistic that he’s charging into impeachment.<\/span><\/p>\n

President Trump on Tuesday said he doesn’t want current and former White House aides to testify in front of Congress following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

The Fuhrer has ordered current and former staff not to provide documents answer questions.\u00a0 This is\u00a0 another incidence of Obstruction of Justice, so blatant that no self-respecting majority can accede to it.<\/span><\/p>\n
