How deep is the corruption?

When our nation's Capitol is attacked and one political Party does not see the need for a Commission to find out all the facts and report to the American people? How corrupt is the Republican Party?

Notwithstanding all of their criticism of the Democratic Party, they show little loyalty to our country or our form of government. Obviously, they are frightened of the truth.

The trail of corruption usually leads to money. Where is the GOP and the RNC getting their money? Is it really coming from small donations? Or is there another source we have not heard about? Are they tied up with Russian oligarchs? Are they laundering money for themselves and the Russians thru their Party organizations? To be honest, we do not know. We only have our suspicions. Is Donald Trump their "bagman"?

The corruption has seeped into the core of our democracy. The love of power and money has reached unprecedented levels. It appears the entire Republican Party has turned to lies and crime to maintain power and their flow of money.

The Repukes already KNOW who's guilty, that's why everyone clammed up.

We need to go it alone. Forget about a "bipartisan" investigation - it will never happen.
