Bob, thanks for analyzing Pence’s comments one by one. He drives me crazy. He says the most insipid things and with his stony face and fake-serious voice, he expects people to react as if Moses has just spoken from on high. What an empty suit.

Speaking of suits, some, but not all of the national media stars come to Iowa expecting to find nothing but hayseeds. They should know you can’t judge a reporter by his suspenders. :)

Hah! Next time I see Pence, I will ask him what his "real" voice sounds like.

thanks Robert for pressing the issue. When "Pence says the investigation is “unprecedented;” I note that I am glad it is a rare event and that it should not have precedent in a well-working democracy and with a honest President. And Pence is making it sound like the crime is a simple misdemeanor like a traffic ticket or not picking up after your dog. I like how you asked in so many words that it does not matter if unprecedented,, if it is a serious crime.

I will be forever grateful for your question to Maureen Dowd. Please ask it again, next time you see her!

Thanks for the assertive questions with Pence and Ernst, as well as the excellent written piece here. I'd prefer to see Trump in jail if convicted, rather than confined to home, although your conditions make some sense. Still he would have access to golf, so if that is replaced with mandatory bike riding, and he is only given a diet of red herring, then I can accept home confinement, and as long as he can't run for any public office again.

Quite a few mumbo jumbo words that don't really impress. Evidence that comes about "as the product of the investigation", "red herrings and distractions abound". "Spectacularly and previously unimaginably unprecedented. No, a lack of political history shows. John Edwards payed off his pregnant mistress in the 2088 Presidential race with $900,000 and evaded prosecution. A far more learned scholar, Alan Dershowitz, in his book, "Get Trump", argues that these democrat partisan charades are a threat to civil liberties, due process and our constitutional rule of law. Pseudo-journalists like yourself, according to Dershowitz, are substituting advocacy against Trump for objective reporting.

Mostly peaceful riots, Yes, but they engulfed 2,000 cities, causing 164 structural fires with damage estimated between $1-2 billion dollars resulting in 25 deaths. Over 50 officers of the U.S. Park Service Police and Secret Service sustained injuries in the Lafayette Park riots across from the White House.

While no action on Trump is being taken by the Federal Election Commission or Federal Prosecutors, this rogue Soros financed District Attorney in taking it upon himself to prosecute, even though he routinely reduces felonies in his district to misdemeanors.

Yes no man is above the law, but apparently a woman (Hillary Clinton) is and our current President who used his positions and name to take in millions from the Communist Chinese, enriching his family and apparently himself.

I thought about replying point by point, thinking you could have made your points without the insults, but if this is you, I would be wasting my time. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6261851/GOP-official-Davids-sent-packing-reservation.html

Yes, I would expect you to research your opposition and naturally would expect the WOKE reply since you cannot objectively respond to the points.
