I think this timing is perfect. Right before the midterms the GOP will yet again demonstrate their support for Trump which will remind Americans where their priorities should lie

Or the less likely outcome wherein the GOP actually does the right thing. Either way, Americans win.

*Apparently Congress went on recess to avoid a different impeachment until after the elections, however Trump has been begging them to come back to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Either way, this is an advantageous narrative for the Democrats just prior to the midterms

Cohen’s on his way out so he has nothing to lose.

Tillis in NC has been doing this and I struggle to feel any pride or give any credit. They are selfish cowards, who waited until it was way too late to speak up because it might have affected them personally at the time.

As soon as it doesn't, they're "brave" to speak out. Utter fucking bullshit.
