NOT from his seat in the Senate.

Senate 'rules' may determine who holds chairmanship. Warner? Prolly dredge up another repug.

He resigns from his position and now the FBI investigation disappears.

He was squeezed out.

This is his karma for the impeachment vote and shows all republicans that they are disposable by Trump. Anyway, any humiliation he suffers, he deserves.

Revision coming out of their preliminary report that CONCURRED about Russian interference in 2016 election, so that MF45 can crow???

Is this their sh*tler plan??

Does all this further shed light as to why dis-Barr lifted NOT EVEN HIS TINY PINKY FINGER'S WIDDLE NAIL to "check/warn" Burr of imminent/upcoming FBI warrant to nab his cell phone??

So much grifting, corruption, fraud againt We, the People.

So little time each and every hour of each and every day.
