β€œSo that option is out of the question.”

@sahilkapur @thedemocrats #democrats can and should FORCE #feinstein to resign, but will they? seems like maybe they are in on the slow walking of the will of the American people, mayhaps.

@sahilkapur of course, maybe someone should ask the GOP why they don’t want to haul Thomas before the committee? Are they FOR corruption?

@sahilkapur I don't want to wish any harm to Sen. Feinstein. I just want her to get the hell out of the way.
