Martin, you said: "Here's what's going on:  you simply are not applying the same level of scrutiny/skepticism to the things Democrats are doing as you apply to Trump.  You are accepting their explanations/excuses at face value without any real skepticism or analysis, while doing the exact opposite with anything Trump does.  That's why people are calling you out on that apparent bias."

You are incorrect.  I accept nothing at face value; I study what is going on in politics every single day, my TV stays on constantly on Fox and CNN, and I research everyday.  I do that because I worked in Republican politics for over 10 years.  I have a framed Certificate of Appreciation from the National Republican Committee for the work I did.

My opposition to Trump is ONE REASON -   In my professional opinion he has a severe Personality Disorder and should not be president.

None of the Democrats running should be President, however I have studied each one's behavior, Biden, Bernie, Warren, from their childhood up just as I did with Trump, and none of them have behavior suggesting a dangerous Personality Disorder as Trump's behavior does every single day.

And yet, for all the scrutiny you supposedly apply to Democrats...you still didn't address the point about why "six other departments had to sign off" didn't matter when it came to the Clintons and Uranium One.

Someone should make a Motion to dismiss Feinswine from the jury.

Last night on CNN, a Senator was interviewed and he said there were a number of Senators who left before that session was over.  He also said Senators get up from their seat and go to the back of the room to stretch and they do whisper to one another while back there.  They can only have water and milk to drink.

I wrote the process - I was not there and neither were you, to know what was said and how they came to an agreement about the uranium.  Maybe they had orders from Obama to accept the uranium sell - I do not know and neither do you.

Give her a break. She probably got in a few new crates of Chinese money,and had to go home and count it.

So all we're left with is massive self-dealing by Hillary Clinton, and zero evidence that those other agencies exercised independent judgment.  But we do know that Hillary's own Department did not.

That's what I thought.

BFD if Senators walk out during the trial.  There are transcipts and recordings that they can use to catch up if they need to.

Tempest in a teapot.

Of course if repubs walked out there'd be wall-to-wall media coverage accusing them of being in the tank for Trump.
