In my most twisted thoughts I never thought it would..

.... get this big. I have always thought that this was part of the largest criminal operation in America's history but I can't get my head around "all of this." I think the only person who understands all the moving parts is Vlad Putin.

Just how many Republicans were on the take, just how compromised is our voting, how big was the misinformation operations, how long has Russia been working "the long game," and how corrupt is Hannity and parts of Fox News?

Always remember Paul Ryan's "families keep secrets" and Mitch McConnell's blocking of Merrick Garland.

But I'm not sure if Putin works for Semion Mogilevich, or if it's the other way around.

It has to be devastating with all the international efforts that Trump & company have put into trying to discredit it and or it's origins.

My 2 cents is that it shows Russia installed Trump, Trump and others knew about Russia's work, and that Bill Barr was brought in.to kill it.⁷

8. I want to see reporters asking GOPers if their support/defense of Trump is connected to the illegal

campaign contribution they or their colleagues accepted. Every time they try to defend Trump or deflect a question about his traitorous behavior, ask them about the illegal money they took. Ask them if that is why they are behaving so cravenly, so complicitly, so much like a compromised party.

Of course, most reporters won't even ask that question once, let alone repeatedly. No access = no money quotes = no job.
