Republicans On Board With President Trump In Odd Deference To Russian Goals - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC



Somehow I missed this, Republican congressional leaders meeting with the Russians, IN Russia

What. The. Hell!

They aren't even pretending to hide it any more. The entire Republican party are traitors to our country. This actually has me very worried about the legitimacy of this years election

I included a news article below the video. It's from February but is directly relevant to this news.

I am now joining what other DUers have said many times.... Mueller, you need to hurry the fuck up!!



Republicans On Board With President Trump In Odd Deference To Russian Goals | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC


Rachel Maddow reports on a Republican congressional delegation to Moscow behaving awkwardly deferential in a way that dovetails with Donald Trump acceding to Russia's wish list despite the conclusions of American intelligence that Russia is actively attacking the foundation of the US system of government.

US intel chiefs unanimous that Russia is targeting 2018 elections

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/13/politics/intelligence-chiefs-russia-2018-elections-target/index.html

(CNN)Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said Tuesday "there should be no doubt" that Russia sees the 2018 US elections as a target.

Coats and the other top national security officials told the Senate Intelligence Committee that they still view Moscow as a threat to the 2018 elections, a stance that appears at odds with President Donald Trump's repeated dismissals of Russian election meddling.

"We expect Russia to continue using propaganda, social media, false-flag personas, sympathetic spokesmen and other means to influence, to try to build on its wide range of operations and exacerbate social and political fissures in the United States," Coats said at a hearing on worldwide threats. "There should be no doubt that Russia perceives its past efforts as successful and views the 2018 US midterm elections as a potential target for Russian influence operations."

Of those treacherous Republicans! Recognize the faces of a couple, but outside of Richard Shelby no names.

Can anyone help me? Those names need to be spread all over. Feathering their own nests,no doubt before they retire.

Russian Ambassador to the US in her program last night but didn't mention current Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the guy in the glasses greeting the traitor repugs and sitting across the table directly from them.

when Obama talked with "our enemy" Iran. And here they are meeting in Russia with Russia -- our and the free world's historic arch enemy and the evil country interfering with every nation's elections in order to destabilize the globe and achieve their own expansionist aims.

Fuck every one of them.

And yes, Mueller should investigate each and every one of them extensively. This is a mass sell-off of America for individual prosperity by a bunch of greedy bastards who don't give one fuck about democracy, our Constitution or the welfare of Americans other than themselves.
