The GOP House member who is being quoted is Tom Cole of Oklahoma for those of you who don't want to click through two links just to find out the name of the politician.

and hoped it would be noticed and discussed, an important (imo) crack in the wall.

I wish everybody could post enough in the subject line and the text, to give the general idea.

And yes, I know OK-4 is solidly Repuke.

(R) Russia are all talk when they even "speak out". They always fall back to party before country when they get offered more tax cuts.

Ford pardoned Nixon to heal the country and move forward.

That brought us the Reagan corruption and war on the middle class.

Then, we allowed George HW Bush to pardon a bunch of people involved with Iran-Contra so we could heal the nation and move forward

That brought us W Bush and the Iraq War and the only person punished with Scooter Libby.

And, from W, we descended to Trump.

No More FUCKING healing the nation this time!!!

Maybe if we wanted to heal the nation we should throw the lot in the White House in jail for life and then we can move on and move forward?

I’d be happy to see at least McConnell and Nunes behind bars.

Of course he did

The rest of us have been “disturbed” for two damned years!

Maybe this veteran GOP should pay more attention. Isn’t that what his/her constituents pay Them to do? How long were they disturbed?

Glad they're admitting it now.

is damned encouraging to me. From trump and Giuliani down to Fox editorials and RW message boards, it seems no one demographic is using that word more than the right wing.

Bless their little idiot hearts. They're a couple beans short of good soup.

People can attack him for not saying something sooner but for the dam to break there first have to be cracks and Cole is highly respected among repub officials. I think many of his fellow repubs feel the same way in private but are unafraid to say so. The fact he is saying this in public is a positive. Remember we haven't heard from Mueller yet. Wait till that boulder drops.

“Trump’s going down hard!” Hopefully this turns out better.

I thought about June. I believe they are going to face the reality very shortly. They can lose with their honor and reputation or without it.

But not too late to preserve our nation.

that a GOP led impeachment will prevent a Blue Wave midterm election.

That's a shift from "no collusion-witch hunt". He wants to get the base riled up in a panic over losing him. But he is saying the word!
