By my count, there have been two — one Democrat and one Republican.
Senator Elizabeth Warren read Mueller’s report the moment it came out and called for hearings almost immediately. Why? Because Constitution, that’s why. No other explanation needed.
Second, that exceedingly rare animal, a Republican with **gasp!** scruples — Rep. Justin Amash broke with his party and did the Right Thing.
But, even Democrats have been slow off the mark — hedging their bets, worrying about being reelected rather than worrying about whether our democratic republic will survive the current crisis.
Over the course of the last two days, talking heads and the print media have been going on and on about Democrats finally developing spines after Mueller spoke for the first [and possibly only] time. I have another theory about the timing, however.
Here’s a conundrum for you:
How many Democrats would be stepping up right now if this hadn’t occurred?
