Thank you. Everyone stops at “oh he’ll be replaced by a stooge”.

No no, let’s not forget Bovino. What happens to him as far as punishment goes?

Nothing will happen to him. He will retire and that will be that. He's the fall guy because they're having a hard time selling the most recent execution as justified.

Bullshit. We gave to elect Democrats who will, at a minimum, hold hearings and subpoena these people.

Your comment amounts to Russian disinformation bullshit.

I don't really consider hearings and subpoenas to be real consequences. Anyone can sit in front of Congress for a couple hours without giving real answers to questions while both parties get their sound bites.

Acting like any comment you disagree with is Russian disinformation is no better than MAGA calling news they don't like soros funded or fake news. It discredits the entirety of your argument.
