starts to strike home just how the country has been compromised by them, and their republican enablers?
Remember, President Obama fired Flynn, and warned the republicans that he compromised the country. Ironically it is similar to the Hart/Rudman report issued by the Clinton administration to the bush administration which warned them about a 9/11 attack, and bin Laden, and Cheney took that report and threw it away, saying they would do their own due dilligence
The Democrats really have to push back on any of that bullshit if it occurs. No doubt the rethugs will say something like, "this isn't the time to talk about that now for political points", like they do whenever there is a mass shooting, but not only is it time to call them out on it, to also point out individual republicans who protected and covered up for this administration
The republicans have been covering up and protecting trump. This lies squarely at their feet, and they cannot run away from it

(32,748 posts)... the collusion had already happened. You can bet that McConnell and Ryan knew about the Russian collusion too, also Pence. I truly sincerely hope this is the end of the Republican Party. They have no right to exist or call themselves a party any more.

At what time do the Russian Trolls report to the Manafort/Trump Moscow farm?
