The "others" may be in hot water as well. Maybe them? (Sorry, haven't been following the story as I normally would for various reasons).

Is the DOJ looking at other members of Congress for similar charges? I don't know.

tell all to prosecutors, too, to save her ass. I'm thinking that's why she was suddenly moved to a Virginia Jail from DC. She may be playing Red Canary right now, naming names and otherwise throwing monkey wrenches.

I want to see this dragnet continued I want to see so many people go down including McConnell, Ryan, Stephen Miller and Bannon and the list can go on and on.

Traitors all and an assault on our country. Get them out.
