It's probably time to accept it as fact.

Bush ethics lawyer on Trump-Russia ties: 'KGB agents running around the West Wing'

Richard Painter, President George W. Bush's former ethics lawyer, said late Friday he has major concerns over the Trump administration's ties to Russia.

In an interview with CNN's Don Lemon, Painter spoke about reports that former national security advisor Flynn was working for foreign agents while also working for the American government.

“It makes no sense to run a government this way,” Painter said. "This is a completely chaotic situation, and then Gen. Flynn lied about his contacts with the Russians, lied to the vice president, and we’ve had the attorney general in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee say he did not contact the Russians when he had contacts with the Russians."

“People are not being honest about their foreign contacts, and talk about this ‘deep state theory’ as if there are somehow Obama moles in the government under the Trump administration,” Painter continued.
“It’s the KGB agents running around the West Wing or the national security council."

Louise Mensch says she has identified an actual Russian mole (an American citizen) in the WH, but she won't say who or how she identified him - for fairly obvious reasons.

2. Impeachment is not enough.

There must be treason prosecutions.

3. I'm worried that they're not going to do anything and

there's not much anyone can do anything soon.

[Randomthought]

5. I concur

Most with the power to impeach are doing nothing. In the mean time the poor and the elderly are being robbed.

7. When a foreign power

Takes over your country - once they are expelled, the collaborators and collaboration must be addressed, failure to address these issues means that you leave an enemy within.

14. We aren't even close yet. There is such a web with the

Repubs all tied together, they aren't going to rat out themselves. To Risk an impeachment hearing is to risk bringing down thir own lives. Plus, at least 4 out of 5 of these investigative committees have as their mission clearing DT, and getting on w their RW agenda. There might be some hope for McCain and Lindsay Graham, but DT has been smoozing McCain. Art 25 is more likely.

His smoozing seems to work w these Hypocrite Repubs.
Ted Cruz is dining with Thing 1, Oldest son, in Dallas, and w DT. Ted Cruz, after DT said his dad was involved in killing JFK, and more. No one but a completely unprincipled suck up would do that. He loves his job.
I know a lot of people in the Resistance in Texas. If he has a good opponent, maybe. The Texas Repubs love him.
Well, I hope McCain is more principled. Trump wants to meet w him. Kind of Lose/Lose for McCain. DT neuterized his critic Romney, and one by one, he seems to be doing that w others. I was disappointed Huntsman took the bait. I think he will rue the day.

17. When Republicans come out and suggest there is a Russia-Trump connection

that blows away the idea that the Russia conspiracy is only being thrown out there by Democrats to cover for Hillary's loss.
