Dear Mr Mueller

[malaise]

I just have a feeling that you know why the Speaker told ReTHUGs to swear to secrecy' after
this explosive assertion.

A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

Love today's charges

1. But, the VAST majority of the GOP would rather have Putin than Hillary.

Doesnt matter how guilty trump and team are of treason, conspiracy, whatever we call it, half of the country does not care.

This is a problem.

Unless Schneiderman can pin something on them, they will all walk and since half of the voting base will approve, what can we do?

The only way it works is if everybody is patriotic and decides to put country, rule of law, first. They wont, ever.

This is a new situation for those of us who assumed everybody was patriotic.

Nixon went down because his own party decided to do the right thing, some of them anyway.

2. I disagree

The Con has about 25% of faithful fellow lunatics.

3. I think it is more but they represent almost half of the VOTERS.

Way too many on the left dont vote.

If the GOP thinks treason is acceptable, then treason it shall be. Conspiracy, whatever. Here is how it goes down unless NY AG gets him

Indictment
then no impeachment
then he pardons himself and everyone

Election 2018, many dont vote or vote 3rd party or for GOP, GOP maintains House...

I hope not, but that is what I see right now.

4. One indictment at a time, Mueller is Making America Great Again.
