Governor Abbott, I'll meet you at the Governor's Mansion next Thursday at 10 AM. If you're not man enough to debate me, you don't deserve to be the governor of Texas.

History lesson: House democratic judiciary chairman Peter Rodino hired 2 GOP lawyers to lead the Nixon watergate probe. The vote to impeach was bipartisan. The Supreme Court voted 8-0 to turn over the White House tapes. GOP senators Barry Goldwater & Hugh Scott told Nixon he would be convicted so he resigned. As Pres Ford said, our long national nightmare was over.

Look at Jack Smith’s list. There is one thing that is consistent: every name on it is a Republican. Is it a crime to be a Republican? Is it a crime to write a check to Republicans? No. Jack Smith used his investigation as an excuse to engage in a massive fishing expedition to target Republicans.
