What is good for the goose is not good for the gander.

Donald J. Trump never spoke to the Special Counsel in person, but, he was willing to answer questions in writing. Robert S. Mueller, III found that sufficient to the inquiry of Russia's interference with the 2016 elections. Now, the whistleblower is willing to do the same, but, McConnell states he is not willing to carry out the responsibility of the US Senate to understand the circumstances of the burgeoning impeachment going forward.

Does McConnell know how to compose such questions? I am worried about Moscow Mitch. He doesn't legislate and now he doesn't compose questions. THIS IS A WHISTLEBLOWER. It is very decent of him/her to be willing to answer further questions at all. The US Senate is irresponsible and the USA has it's national security in question.

The US Senate is not dealing with a wayward president who today is saying if Quid Pro Quo exists, so what? (click here) Trump's presidency has gone from bad to worse. The USA national security hangs in the balance and he says if he broke the law it should not matter. It would seem Mulvaney floated this attitude of Trump's and now he is using it as if it is a legitimate defense.

It is like being cheated on by your spouse, "But, honey, it doesn't mean anything."

Republicans have complained about the unfairness of the closed-door depositions and impeachment process, with some suggesting the whistleblower's identity should be known so President Donald Trump can face his accuser....
