Litman and Tribe were just on MSNBC's "All In". BigmanPigman Jun 2019 #2

Tribe was on MSNBC just a few minutes ago. The way he explained his idea was not for the House napi21 Jun 2019 #3

It is more than censure though. It would be full investigational hearings resulting in "findings" hlthe2b Jun 2019 #6
