Post # 60, Bob McKnight's Subscription Commentary Collusion. Obstruction. Serious Findings but the only option is for House to Impeach, which will never be tried in Senate. The Election will be the Answer for resolution. The long awaited Mueller Report is out and now thoroughly reviewed. The conclusion seems to rest on what was the charge to the Special Counsel from the Department of Justice. Robert Mueller said that since the DOJ cannot charge the President under their
Post # 57, Bob McKnight's Subscription Commentary Rest well Mr. Key West. You did well. In 1978 I decided to leave what I felt was a safe seat in the Florida House of Representatives representing about 1/3 of Miami, to run for the Senate covering even more of Miami and all the Florida Keys.

But, for those looking ahead, what could we expect in 2017, if the election were held today? In spite of my last Post raising questions about Secretary Clinton's candidacy, we have to assume Secretary Clinton wins the Presidency since she is leading today in all
My districts in the Florida Senate and House of Representatives in the '70's and '80's included the City of West Miami. I didn't know him then, but a young man from Cuba, Marco Rubio, was growing up at that time planning to take my House seat in the Legislature some day. He did.
