(3,574 posts)about this shit, but I say damn the torpedoes, and CALL FOR FUCKING HEARINGS. Try to get Maureen Comey before them, for example. Or Garland. Why didn't they do anything about Jane Doe 4?
But, on top of that, though, THE FUCKING LAW WAS BROKEN due to the failure to produce the docs earlier, and the President was the beneficiary. We HAVE him on that part, regardless of the reliability of this 1 witness, talking about stuff in 1983.
DO IT DEMS!!!
Thinking through what could happen:
* Witness says "we weren't alerted to it by our predecessors (i.e. IQ45) who we relied on for such matters cause whatever protocol"
* Witness says "we reviewed it thoroughly, and it just wasn't actionable due to lack of evidence (or whatnot), and we felt it would be wrong to accuse Trump w/o actionable evidence"
* Witness says "lower level employees were raising a stink, totally taking the situation seriously, but the higher-ups steadfastly refused to advance anything"
Honestly I'm about 75% on one of the first two being the truth, which are both acceptable answers, but #3 could go down poorly, just saying.
STILL, DO IT DEMS!!!
