(11,780 posts)2. I can't imagine the mindset that would lead me to that position.
My first thought was to come clean, but none of the rethugs have enough of a conscience to even consider that. There are theories that some are waiting for the subpoena to spill the beans so theyll have political cover. I can sort of see the logic in that but cant imagine myself acting that way. Youd sacrifice your country to protect your political career?
