Donald Trump is willing to destroy lives, and allow who knows how many unnecessary deaths, because to tell the truth, would end his presidency and destroy his chances for re-election.

When Will The FBI, Or William Barr, Make It's Move To Subvert Trump's Impeachment Trial? Today?
Why do Republicans appear to be playing an all-in, "Doomsday" game. Is there no tomorrow, Mitch?
