I am glad that Professor Richardson is recording these events, giving context while laying out the facts.

These Letters can serve as a guide when Trump is finally gone, whether he resigns before January 20th and is pardoned by Mike – the scenario I believe is likely – or exits grumbling and threatening into the cold, January sky. They are a roadmap to name and hold accountable all those who have been accessories to his efforts.

He has behaved criminally and so have many Trumpist elected and appointed officials. There needs to be accountability. I don’t care that Tom Cotton is encouraging his colleagues to refrain from challenging the votes this week. He voted to acquit – that is enough, IMHO, to make him ineligible to hold an office of public trust in the country.

We must be very wary of Cotton, Hawley and the other Ivy Assassins who people the government at present. They are as dangerous to liberty as Trump, perhaps more so, packaged as they are in the laurel wreaths of our most prestigious institutions of higher learning.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if Trump resigned expecting a pardon from Pence and then Pence ended up not pardoning him????? Oh, and I love the phrase "Ivy Assassins'".

And If Sally Yates becomes his prosecutor? I certainly hope so!
