and numerous investigations outside of the Mueller one (nm) - Sal MU

It was also the result of an independent counsel - meatiger MU - 10/8 12:06:41

- 10/8 12:08:28

lol they had Mueller for two years - Sal MU

But the left REALLY wants to impeach Trump. Do they really - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/8 12:12:39

Nothing to do with impeachment. Subpoenas still have to - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/8 12:20:21

Ignoring subpoenas (or directing individuals to) - tack - tigerdb MU - 10/8 12:24:31

The Executive branch has been ignoring congressional - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/8 12:51:35

Of course he can't - Spanky KU - 10/8 12:08:57

The dems have been crying impeachment since Trump was - Sal MU
