AUTHOR QUOTES:
"Then and there, I adopted the lesson and lived by it throughout my career. Whatever the threat or danger, I had to be there. I had to see, hear, smell, and touch. I had to get closer."

@therecount If anyone in that wretched hearing did indeed have balls, it was Hunter Biden. He displayed the courage to publicly answer any and all questions put to him. As for the "gentlelady" from SC, clearly she has no class. What a sad day for the Trumped-up GOP.

I am struck absolutely dumb.

Here’s a question for Trump’s attorneys that could BLOW UP their entire “absolute immunity” case.
