I am not sure that there should be impeachment hearings, after all it would be a waste of time and money like Sec. of State Clinton's hearings (& she is still not in jail!) because the Senate is not fgoing to do anything about any of this.  #SenRonJohnson would not care if Pres. Trump shot some one on Times Square.  There are very few who know how serious the offense was, and, obviously, the president does not trust the Congress to act in a non-partisan way.  But that is like the pot calling the kettle black.  It is too bad that the Republicans feel they can do whatever - the country can go to heck as long as Republicans are in power, do whatever it takes to win.

http://www.gmtoday.com/news/front/topstory026.asp I would like to know what the whistleblower said that the president thought was 'incorrect?'  It was a transcript, so it must have been what the president was saying in fact, or is black white?  Maybe the complaint what was said not as it was intended, but, sometimes, the president denies the obvious to his own glory.  I have not read the transcript or the whistleblower complaint, but the general consensus is that the president was breaking the law.  I have read elsewhere that the president said the whistleblower is a spy & this is a Democratic plot to do him in.  Do the employees of the government, especially Central Intelligence  Agency employees, have to take an oath supporting the Constitution and laws of the country?  If this person did take the oath, would what he did be part of upholding his oath?
Speaking of how much or how far Sen. Johnson will go in support of Pres. Trump, I wonder how he squares Pres. Trump's helping women get abortions with his own or his parties stand on abortion? I do suppose it is possible that the president and his immediate family has not had anything to do with any women getting abortions, but if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you. I, personally know of a handful of women who have had to obtain abortions, and I am sure there were options they could have chosen other than abortion, but they did not. As a good libertarian, I am not in a position to tell them no.
      As the impeachment story rolls on, I would like to have Sen. Johnson answer a simple yes or no question. Should a public officeholder use his office to enhance his reelection? If I remember right, this was the situation that caused Chuck Chvala so many problems.      There is a lot about Pres. Trump that has incited a lot of problems for our country, our image not the least, as well as trade and relations with our neighbors, Mexico & Canada, so let us pare it down to this question. I suppose that Sen. Johnson could claim that Pres. Trump was not doing partisan politics during the phone call to Ukraine. That just calls into question Sen. Johnson's perception, or his unquestioning support of a president doing whatever he can to get reelected. It may be that Sen. Johnson could say that it is not an impeachable crime, but, as noted above, the legal system disagrees with him. The president should not be above the law. If this o...
