How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment?

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸
