if Whittaker can hide the Mueller Report so it never sees the light of day. Know that I am willing to walk thru fire and scale the walls of DOJ to get that Report. Am counting on Congressman Schiff to subpoena - but am ready to serve. Just saying.

In a criminal trial, takes 12 to convict or acquit, anything else is a “hung” jury. In the Senate trial, takes 67 to convict or acquit, anything else is a “hung” Senate. If more than 1 and less than 67 – it is a “hung” impeachment, not an acquittal. Let’s be accurate. HTip: PK.
