Repugs try and protect Trump from impeachment. The Dems need to drive home these points. They need to use these incidents to refute any of the lies and the obfuscation that the Repugs are throwing up now to protect Trump.
Here they are:
1. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stopped the Obama administration from speaking out about Russian interference in the 2016 campaign by refusing to sign on to a bipartisan statement of condemnation.
2. 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.
Theres 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. Paul Ryan shut him down by saying something to the effect that 'We need to keep this in the family'.
3. The negative comments about Trump from the clown car of Repug Presidential Primary candidates during the Repug Primary debates. The Dems need to say - "This is what these Repugs really think about Trump". There are countless clips and sound bites from these Repug opponents of Trump that can be strung together to show how Trump was thought of by the Repug Party before he won the primary and became their candidate.
Upon edit: These same former candidates that criticized Trump back then need to be asked why they now protect Trump and what caused them to change their minds about Trump?
