The reason we have elections is because people disagree on what’s in the nation’s best interest.

Hey Mo, is it not in the national interest for a president to investigate potential corruption from the man who may be the next President of the United States?Is it in the national interest to ignore video proof from the last administration of a quid pro quo. We asked him to so..

Agreed, now if the GOP acquits him quickly like they want it could very well bit them in the rears come November. The voters will remember what they said and done during the trial. Also I wonder why Nixon never thought of trying that defense. Oh wait he knew better than that.
