    So many facts to check.

    I assume you are referring to the Russia investigation for the $32 million, with many charges, indictments and convictions. Are you saying it’s purely coincidence that so many people Trump hired and worked with committed crimes, but he didn’t? Also, some of those came with fines, to offset those costs. Plus, the charges are in the report, but Mueller didn’t have the authority to file them as charges. It’s because of people like you that Democrats are being cautious.

    I would like to know what law you think has been broken. Closed door testimony is perfectly normal and legal. Without it, witnesses could change their stories or government secrets could become public.

    Of course he’s been accused, legally, how do you think the law proceeds? First there is suspicion with some evidence, then an arrest, then investigation and more evidence, then a trial. The only thing special about impeachment is we don’t put the President in jail awaiting trial. Surely that makes sense.

    Please respond to the conversation you started, rather than shifting to something new this time. Or are you conceding that there are valid reasons to investigate him?

    Most important, I am not a lawyer or part of Congress. I won’t have all the information they do, but I am charged by the Constitution with making a decision. I choose who to vote for based on how they react to the information that is public. That includes letting my congress people know how I will vote if they don’t do something about criminal activity in the White House. So all this stuff about waiting and no one is guilty until proven so is part of the process, but me making a judgment and using my brain is also part of the process.
