Actually, they immediately went past pounding the table to knocking the table over and smashing the chairs. If this were a mob trial, the next step would be roughing up the witnesses, but this isn't a mob ... oh, wait https://t.co/OCShkfc2IT — PolitiTweet.org

Phase one: try to discourage any investigation Phase two: try to stonewall, telling officials not to testify Phase three: physically disrupt the hearings Phase four: ??? I hope Schiff, Pelosi et al are thinking about precautions. Anything is possible https://t.co/XAOypKHvcI — PolitiTweet.org

So when this reaches the Senate, Trump won't really be on trial — the rest of his party will. Is there even a shred of integrity and patriotism left in the G.O.P.? It says something about our dire straits that the most likely answer is "no" 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
