I hope the House just keeps investigating and never tosses to the Senate, where they will be the majority and have announced they will do stunts like call the Whistleblower and Adam Schiff as witnesses.

Apparently there *are * videos, tapes, and photos, from Trump henchman Lev Parnas, though probably not including fellatio. They've already been turned over to house investigators. Remember how it was tapes that brought Nixon down?

Probably his mind is pre-video recorder, so thinks of TV as a one way channel. He never seems to consider that his words could later be used against him.
