It is painful to be placed in a position to protest the pranks pushed by Pelosi and her posse of players, but people have been pushed out and put on the sidelines as Democrats plow ahead with this so-called impeachment inquiry. The impact of this pandering is the peeling away of the people's trust placed upon us.
