Mueller will prosecute pence and ryan. I know that's not gonna happen. But, what world do I live in when Orrin Hatch is the one I'm rooting for.

If ever there was a time to appear and condemn. They need to stop being afraid and stand up for what they claim their principles are.

Hatch obviously doesn't want to be associated with this crowd only because sees them as a dangerous extremist fringe, detrimental to the Republican Party as a whole. But what if he's wrong? My greatest fear is that he has miscalculated, and these hyenas ARE the new Republican mainstream, and Hatch and his old school are the ones now on the fringe. My bet is that Trump's silence will not lose him one supporter.
