I am a Republican. Why is my party gaslighting America?

[link:http://POLITICOhttps://apple.news/A7K95JEuZQUeae2vUwFNlwA|

Riddle me this: If Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have smoking gun evidence of a deep-state conspiracy that threatens American democracy itself, wouldn’t they be doing more than playing silly hashtag games, such as #ReleasetheMemo?

My question: If Congress has evidence of a Russian conspiracy that threatens our democracy, wouldn’t they be doing more than playing games?

Apparently the answer to both questions is “No”.

2. That is the point John King and others have been making. If this intel is sooooo

bad then it is their duty to report this. That right there is another reason why it's just bullshit.

3. Federal security departments have already stated Russia HAS

interfered with our 2016 elections through electronic means. House Intelligence committee may want to postpone their findings until they have interviewed everyone on their list, but they seem to have changed their mind and now are going to do everything in their power to protect their leader no matter what facts they found. If you want results of the investigation I'm afraid you'll have to wait for Muller.

6. I would answer poor Amanda this way

Your party is evil. Pure and simple evil. And I say this as an agnostic.

It is full of liars and corrupt people.

Your party is NOT patriotic for the simple reason that being in power is more important than being for the United States and what it stands for.

Worse is that your party is the moronic tools of an evil class of oligarchs.

Your party cheats and lies. It is fundamentally anti-freedom.

At this point, it hates humanity to the point that the rest of the human race may need to end your party to save the rest of humanity ( even if that is possible )

Seriously, if I could snap my fingers and each and every Republican and libertarian and theocrat would simply disappear... I would in a heartbeat.
