It is so very clear what has happened.

I honestly do not know why the actions of the Republicans have not yet caused the media to ask the obvious two serious questions:

"Are there members of Congress obstructing Justice for the same reasons as Trump" - meaning they too colluded with Russia during the election

and

"Are there Republican members of congress who are doing the bidding for Russia like Trump" - meaning there are members who are compromised / being blackmailed.

My feeling is, it is mainly the first issue that has caused the odd, insane, self destructive, unpatriotic behavior. I think the evidence being gathered will show deep and far reaching ties to funding, research, and platforms of Republican congress critters. They realize obstructing justice is their only prayer to stop it from coming out,because it will be bad. And also go back a long time. This did not start in 2016. I also think a few are compromised with bad stuff.

But. It. Is. Obvious.

likely goes beyond ideological fervor. They are guilty of collusion themselves. They are desperate to conceal the truth.

Trace back every NRA Rouble that's gone to every RePutin congress critter. There will be carnage.

It should be pretty obvious that some combination of Roubles and Kompromat has Nunes and Ryan in Putin's back pocket.

at this number to stop the green light for ending the Russian sanctions. We need to step up quickly or if Mueller gets fired we should all get in the streets. It would be great if they would go in the Congress and arrest them all.

call this number congress: 202 224 3121 to reject this repeal of russian sanctions.

Listening to Stephanie Miller I just couldn't make out who she was speaking to.
